I decided to repair the car out of my own pocket. I bought an used engine and had a reputable shop install it. Months later, I got a marketing letter from a lawyer. I got in touch with them and told them my story. I provided all the paperwork with the purchase of the car and repair records. At the end, I accepted an offer from Subaru for $3k.


Interesting they could tell you flashed. So what did the lawyer end up charging you out of curiosity?

So you ended up with nothing in your pocket from Subaru in the end basically?
