Rather interested in why they would send me a buy back letter.....

I bought the 02 WRX wagon in Jan 05 from a Mitsubishi dealer, but have taken it to the local Subaru Dealer in Seaside, CA (Cypress Coast) The car was originally in Cypress Coast's inventory, but they traded it to the Cardinale dealer (the WRX was fully modded at the time)

They had the car about 2 weeks ago for a CEL.....(miss fire on no.3) now I get a buy back letter????

Any ideas why they would send me this?

There is no way I am parting with this car.
VF-34 and all the supporting mods, 4 pot brakes....etc and no stockers....will lose all the goodness + incur the negative equity on the loan in whatever I ended up getting to replace it???

 

Here's the letter:

"Attention: IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR 2002 SUBARU

marc, check my post on www.spoolinmontereybay.com

I get them all the time about the IS from lexus trying to get me to get a new IS...

 

check my post... er... wate no post.
I kinda assumed it was a model wide, dealer wide thing. I got the same one about my RS

 

No mystery. They want to sell you a car. I call up cars off classifieds offering up a price if they are Subarus and then offer to put them into a new one... It does work and you can find good inventory out there for the 'pre-owned' lot!
