I'd be taking the pricks to court. If there is still a statutory
warranty on the vehicle, then Subaru has to honor it. Selling cars at
auctions does not cancel warranties. A few mates at work have near new
vehicles purchased at Fowles Auctions which still have factory warranty
on them, and which they've honored.

No it isn't.

GM only owns a 20% stake in Subaru - via 20% equity in the Japanese
parent Fuji Heavy Industries.

Majority share I believe, which means they effectively control the company.

How does 20% equate to majority share??? FHI is a public company!

They are currently only operating as business partners - eg FHI is
jointly sourcing parts purchases with GM.

However this does not mean GM runs FHI.

Can you point me to a URL???

If 20% is the largest chunk of ownership, you effectively call the shots
even though you don't own the company as a whole.
