Very odd, keep us updated. I would be interested to see how this all works out.

The third party warranty is pretty generic, it's not specific to the BRZ or even to Subarus, and right in the paperwork it requires 5k miles / 6 month oil changes.
Seems like it's probably a trick - the warranty company sells the warranties to the dealer and turns a profit, the dealer includes it and more than makes up for the cost with increased service revenue, then if anything does happen, it looks like there are enough loop holes that they can avoid most common failures (seals and gaskets), so they probably all make out like bandits. I might talk to the finance guy about it to see if the DI seals are even covered, when I'm in there for my fogged up tails.
