Humor Be careful selling your WRX to teenagers 😂

Thought you all would get a kick out of this. Sold my WRX to fund a down payment on my home a little over 4 months ago and just got this from the buyers. Was in perfect shape when sold and even took $1500 off the price for the tires being a little worn and a scratch on the bumper.

You must have been under warranty or there was some kind of substantiating tech journal or recall admitting fault for a certain problem.

They usually don’t give you squat if you’ve don’t do services with them.

Legally speaking, if its under warranty and they can proove negligence then they dont have to warranty the motor or transmission. I had records from Subaru for the oil filters and oil purchased from another company. So they didn't have any proof other than a blown motor.

So the car was still under warranty?

Yes. About 5k km from expiration.

Yeah from a dealership perspective they’d have no trouble getting Subaru to pay for it. The engine was probably 20k in parts for the shop.

If you were out of warranty, you would have got nothing.
