I bought a BLUE 2004 STI from Deacon Jones autopark in North Carolina in April. It had a WRXAtlanta sticker on the rear window. I am having trouble with the warranty company trying to say that i removed the Catalytic converter and such. The car has a Cobb intake, greddy exhaust and indash screen. If this was your car our you know of the person who owned it previously any help would be needed as to the upgrades, etc that were done to it before my buying it. The car came from Ohio originaly. Thanks, PJ
Just out of curiosity, what type of warranty work are you having done? Also, i doubt anybody is going to own up to removing a catalytic converter.
I have the carfax but noone will give me the owners information. I dont have the cat since i didnt remove it but the warranty company is trying to say that i took it off and they want to void the warranty. They also claim the computer is horribly tuned ( another feature i wasnt aware of) so i keep blowing the 4th cyclinder piston because it is running super hot and super lean. I just want some info on what was done to it when i purchased it so i can show the warranty company that i havent ever touched the car,
even if you can find a source saying they did it, they're the insurance company...they're still gonna fuck you. Best of luck, no warranty's covering you there
Seems to me if a car was warrantied, and sold, without a cat, (and horribly tuned, etc.) whatever warranty work should be covered. it won't, but it should be. Sounds to me like you have more problems than that, though.
Thats the view the lawyer has with it aswell. They sold me the car the way it sits not and they warrantied it the way it sits. I just think they are trying everything they can, to get out of buying a new motor. Any help tho on someone that owned the car would be great, a long shot but worth a try hah
without pics or some more description, it would be pretty tough to tell you who's car it was. blue STi is a pretty broad category...
I would just let your lawyer handle it. Dealers aren't suppose to sell cars new or used without a Cat.
you have a lawyer you will be fine. He will probably file another complaint for them selling a car w/o a cat. pics for ID and any other info you can provide about any visible modifications
