"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?
