Pretty much exactly what I said. How can this be cheaper than dropping in a ready made engine from factory if you consider labor. But I know even less than you.

I argued for this. I got nowhere. In the end everyone kept saying "it's not up to the dealer it's up to the area manager and Subaru Rep." I asked for their numbers to speak directly and supposedly no one had it or even knew what days they worked. It was all a big mystery.

This is a good idea. Though they may argue that they covered my rental car/loaner vehicle. I suppose its worth a shot.
I'm just pretty exhausted of dealing with it all. It's a gigantic time toilet. And I will always be worried with the reliability of my only car. The worst part...a salesman from the dealer called last week asking if I want a new 2016 BRZ given my issues with the current one. I told him I would really prefer if my 2yr old car was just given back to me in reliable condition rather than entering a brand new deal. That call just furthers the idea that they really don't get it.
Verdict is still out if I will keep this car after it is fixed. It's hard for me to daily drive a car that has failed me twice without me even driving hard during these events or modding the engine.
Anyway appreciate the support as always
