In my case, my STi had right under 864 miles on it. So, the dealer
sold it to me as new. Including the 90 day warranty.
Where are you? I can't figure out what 90 day warranty you're talking
about. The OP is probably in the USA. Most US Subaru's are covered
by a 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty, that is transferable to other
people. Buying it new has nothing to do with warranty coverage. From
Subaru's US web site:
"When These Warranties Apply
These warranties are made by Subaru of America, Inc. (except in
Hawaii) and apply only if the car was imported or distributed by
Subaru of America, Inc. and sold to the first retail purchaser by an
Authorized Subaru Dealer in the United States. Any and all repairs
must be performed by an Authorized Subaru Dealer located in the United
States. Every owner of the car during the warranty period shall be
entitled to the benefits of these warranties. If the car is sold or
otherwise transferred during the warranty period, it is recommended
and requested that the new owner promptly send written notice of the
transfer of ownership to:
Subaru of America, Inc."
I was told that
any car with less than a 1000 miles was sold "as new".
Of course. said:
My STi was
actually purchased by someone else who changed their mind about the
car. Or should I say his wife changed his mind about the car.
It saved me $40000.
Purchased by someone else first, and then by you with 864 miles, is
known as "used" where I come from, hence the $4000 discount. I'll
bet the dealer didn't give the original purchaser all of his money
back.
And I can tell you for a fact the dealer babied
the car.
What about the guy who brought it back?
