Was a little confused by your original post: "The car was purchased from a Subaru dealership but I purchased it from a used car dealer."

Should that have been NOT purchased from a Subaru dealer?

I'm more surprised you didn't catch this sooner.

My rear diff (OS Giken LSD w/ Greddy rear cover) had a tiny oil leak from the axles because they weren't seated properly. My rear bumper was covered in oil within an hour of it happening...

Did the used car dealer sell it to you as "including the manufacturer warranty"? In the US they will have it listed on the window sticker at a lot of dealers. I would go through your paperwork from the used car dealer. I would imagine if they advertised it as including the warranty you might be able to keep pushing the used car dealer to cover it.

They definitely advertised it as still having balance of factory warranty but it wasn't a "certified" pre-owned vehicle.

It doesn't matter if it still has a factory warranty. Someone else messed it up. That isn't covered.

"There's some goodies that I found out about this car! I think the car may have been tracked by the previous owner!"

Wow. The moment I read your first post, I totally thought someone covered stuff up. I totally feel for you in this situation and its a shame people flip stuff like this to scew over the next person, especially if you're an enthusiast, track the car and then try to pass it off as "stock". Fuck that. Just sell it as what it is, assuming you didnt mess up, if you did, pay to fix it and let it go. I guess it takes money, and people just skimp on things.
One thing that I think would be a red flag, is that you picked this up from a "used car dealer", not saying all of them are bad, I had some dealings previously, but from my impression, usually brand dealers keep the good examples for their used lot, while they dump liability at the auction. Not saying they got this car at an auction, maybe the owner traded it in to the used car lot? I just think for these cars, you got to really know what you're getting into. All the people on the forum preach careful picking and knowing history, sometimes you think, yea that's probably overkill or won't happen to me, if it looks stock, its probably fine. Damn...

Looks like you are doing some digging and that's good, I wouldn't have patience and time to sort through such a situation, like others said, find a reputable performance shop around GTA and have them fix it, unless it gets covered by someone you're dealing with....Never had to replace the diff, but sounds like its not as disastrous as engine/tranny replacement cost.
Hopefully that's the last major thing you'll need to worry about on this car, who knows what pops up next, do you think its flashed with stock tune, haha?

Yeah the differential has been flagged by Subaru Canada for that vehicle. So on their end, nothing is going to happen.

We use car proof in Canada, which isn't great. I've dealt with this particular used car dealer before, so I didn't think I would need to get the car inspected. Lesson learned.

Still trying to collect enough evidence from my used car dealer to make them pay for it.
There's some goodies that I found out about this car! I think the car may have been tracked by the previous owner!
Damn that sucks sounds like a uphill battle with the used dealer lot tho. You would have to prove that they had prior knowledge that the car was tracked and modified when they purchased it from the first owner. Cause then they would know they couldn't sell that car with a manufacturer warranty. Seems like your best chance at that would be finding the previous owner.

Yes, I understand that.
But if it's messed up because of the previous owner's negligence, and the car is advertised as having remainder of full factory warranty, then would that not be false advertising?

I don't know what you're trying to get at. I've already said it's not Subaru's fault for not covering this under warranty.

It still does have its full factory warranty, even on the the diff, but factory warranty only covers a manufactures defect, and that seal was not from the manufacturer so they can not warranty it sadly. Any damaged caused by running it dry is also not a manufacture defect therefore not warranty. When it was sold with full factory warranty that was still in effect until the non-factory seal failed and caused other damages.

I think you need to ignore most of the advice in this thread except for the Canadians, because US law doesn't apply to your situation. I'm not Canadian, so that includes me.

That said, in most states in the US we have certain implied warranties that come with the car that a car dealer can't just wipe away by putting "As Is" on the window. If a dealer here sells you a used car that they represent as being completely stock and never modified, and it turns out to be misrepresented, there might be some remedies available depending on how long ago you bought it.

I have no idea if Canada has the same type of implied warranties, so you might consider doing some research on that subject or simply calling a lawyer. It's usually easier to get a merchant to cooperate if you already know what they're required to do by law and what they aren't. Maybe you're shit outta luck, but I wouldn't believe it just because some Amurkin says so on a message board.
