I recently bought a 2004 Subaru WRX STi from this dealership and had nothing but issues with the car. I put $3000+ down and financed it for $14000+. I received photos of the car and it looked prestine and I was quite excited on receiving it. I asked for more photos and with any car that is 15 years old its going to have some scratches and some paint fade, but that wasn t the case. The car was never maintained and now since there is no warranty I have to pickup on all the maintenance. The engine mounts and transmission mounts were bad and causing the engine to move and also no smooth shifts. The strut towers are worn and need to be replaced. The timing belt has to be replaced along side with the A/C compressor belt and Alternator belt. They offered a warranty for powertrain but with the warranty they were offering was only for engine and transmission and it clearly states in the warranty for timing components and that means timing belt and tensioners and bearings, but they told me the warranty covers light bulbs and tires Jeff . What kind of powertrain warranty only covers light bulbs and tires? What does light bulbs and tires have to do with the engine or transmission? I was going to buy the warranty but declined after already receiving the car and not being able to return it and not being able to cover the costs for the repairs because its a waste of money. Why pay $270 for a warranty when I can buy a million light bulbs for $270 *sarcasm*. Overall if you buy a car with over 100,000 miles on it from these guys have an experienced mechanic look over it and check EVERYTHING. Do not make the mistake I did and buy a car blind. I will NEVER recommend this preowned dealer to anyone. Now I have to put a hefty chunk of my money into this car to make sure I don t blow my motor. The timing belt cover can t even be taken off that s how long it hasn t been maintained...for $16,000 I d expect y all to look over essential stuff to prevent motor damage and transmission damage but you didn t. I was scammed 100%. I did say it ran good the first day but after further inspecting and having a local tuning shop look over it, it needs a lot of work. I was cleaning the interior and it was so dirty also. It looked like the car was submerged under water the stuff coming out. All rust looking and the mats don t even belong in this car! I found a pill also behind the driver seat while cleaning it. All I m saying is y all need to get your stuff together and not take advantage of people buying blind and be straight up. Take note of this people and don t make the mistake I did.
