Buying a tainted BRZ
Lurker who has been searching for the right 2017+ BRZ to come available in my area. Getting cold feet after pulling the trigger and putting a deposit on a unique vehicle purchase.
2019 BRZ sportech rs
1180 miles
Closing price: $23428 cdn ($17729.83 usd) all in
MSRP is 33k cdn
The story with the paperwork to support it...
A Subaru dealership was broken into in 2018 and the BRZ was stolen off the show room floor. They drove it through the front door and took it on a one way trip 530 miles where it was recovered and sat in insurance limbo until it was auctioned to a shop where the body work was all fixed. The vehicle was then sold to the dealership where is sits now. The dealership is a reputable place.
The brz appears to be in mint condition and the inspection paperwork from the dealership shows the same. Subaru has void the warranty due to the history of the vehicle.
Obviously I'm aware the car was "driven like it was stolen" for at minimum half the miles and then probably test driven and such for the remaining miles which probably wasn't easy on it.....
This vehicle is being purchased as second vehicle and my intentions are to make some major modifications that would void a warranty anyways.
Just curious what you guys think.....
