Clean Title!!! With 23,000 Miles! Only 23,000 Miles!

Ok, I am being extrememly Honest. I bought a WRX about 5 months ago from my friend's friend. About 2 months later the car started to misfire(engine light came on.) So I took it to an autoshop and got a full tune up. The tune up fixxed the problem and nothing was wrong. About a week later, the check engine light came on again, and the misfire continues. Since i am under warranty, I took it to the dealer and they thought they found the problem. An ECU malfunctioning. They relearned the ECU, Reprogrammed, and uploaded new software to the ECU. 2 days later i took the car out of the dealer, and the check engine light, and misfire came on again! So right now, being frustrated with the car I am trying to just get some of my money back. I am going to take this car to the dealer again as we speak and am trying and get this problem fixed before i sell this.

*I am being totally honest right now, I just want to get rid of this car. The front of the car has been in an accident, but not bad enough to be Salvaged. Not Salvaged!*

Let me tell you some of the minor problems of the car:

- There is a bent in the front extension frame, I am planning to get this fixed before i sell car.
- Get the misfiring issue done before i sell this car.
- needs new Rear suspensions, Sorry, unable to help here. But car drives very good.

Please e-mail me at Robert_Ho4@yahoo.com if you have any questions, Only yahoo emails can be recieved, others will be discarded.

I AM WILLING TO TRADE WITH AN S2000 ONLY.

-Robert

Maybe it's just me, but I would be a little concerned about plunking down $16.5K on this, especially when there are any number of WRX's for that price without so many...er...issues. Then again, I don't have a Yahoo mail account so the point is moot
