Dear Robert,the point of the purchase was the extented warranty.the oil leak is of no matter if the contract was based on the fact the warranty was contingent upon the sale.The leak was not repairable under warranty or any other repairs, peroid.Hence, one is no good without the other or the purchase would have never taken place. Regards

This is a 98 Sub, is it a Forrester? How many miles? Where is the oil leak? Top of the engine, front? Back? They agreed to buy it back for $7K and you paid $8K. You got your $1700 warrantee back. Looks like you can loose $1K but then you have to spend $2K more to buy off the lot. Hence, you loose $3K with this dealer. I remember paying $6.2K for a $8.5K used 1995 or so with 90Kmiles Eagle Talon in 2000 so my daughter could go to a local college. So taking $2K off a used car in the lot is normal. But you have no negotiating room here. Plus the dealer crossed you once already. I only buy used cars from luxury car dealers with older clientel. Question can you fix the car elsewhere for less than $1K? Do it keep the car. Does the daughter like the car? Yes, keep it. It only has to last 40K more miles over the 4 years.
