I'm sure they won't cover it with an intake and DP which probably at one time had an AP installed too. Most likely a cracked piston. I'd find a shop who knows how to rebuild an EJ, or get a new short block to have swapped in. Letting a dealer do it will most likely cost a ton more than it would have to.

 

The place you bought it from has some liability/responsibility imo. If you feel like getting a little confrontational with them you might get them to pay for some of the repairs. Did you get anything in writing from them?

 

when i bought used from a nissan dealer they gave my the printout of the factory warranty and went through all of the stuff. see if its in your paperwork.

 

Factory warranty or not, they most likely won't cover a blown engine with aftermarket parts. The other dealer has no obligation to cover and damage since they aren't even Subaru. Unless they specifically gave you a powertrain warranty when you bought it as it was then I believe you're screwed. You can chance contacting SoA, but it's a long shot. Used car + aftermarket parts = big risk.

 

This is one of those buyer beware situations. The dealer you bought it from sold you on the fact that it was technically still covered under subaru factory warranty. What they didnt take into account was the fact that the car was modded and would not be covered under a factory warranty. The salesman most likely didnt know or wasnt aware. These types of cars you have to be careful because people trade them in modded/flashed whatever because they dont care its someone elses problem. Whether or not they told you it was covered by subaru is irrelevant because its not their problem once it leaves the lot unless you got something in writing saying they would fix it if subaru didnt. They cannot speak on Subaru's behalf so anything they say or agree in that aspect is void.

Now I believe if the same car was purchased directly from a subaru dealer then they would have an obligation to fix it since they sold you a modded car.

 

Sorry to hear about this, hopefully you have a second car. I'm not sure if anyone has done this before...

If the finance company offers extended warranties (most CU's do), that might be the best bet. Aftermarket warranties are great to have because the dealerships still get paid for the work, so they could care less if the powertrain has been modified. If they think the claim will get denied, then you could take it to ANY certified repair shop to submit a claim.

If you were to refinance your car, you may be eligible to purchase an aftermarket (extended) warranty. Just obviously don't tell them that the car isn't in working condition.
