You don’t have a warranty? You going to sell yours?

Its still a huge inconvenience to go through even if you have $7000 to throw into a dumpster or a warranty (considering Subaru honors the warranty)
Honestly I don't know what I am going to do. Its not pleasant to see all the cases online where engines blow up, videos of rtv in the pan and videos of oil pressures dropping dangerously low in right turns. After seeing those I start looking how much used M240s go for... This is not what I was expecting when I purchased my first ever new to me car. I was hoping they did their homework with the 2.0 engine and improved on it in the 2.4. But it seems they fixed some issues but others appeared.
But then I take it to autocross and its so much fun to toss this car around and I tell myself: maybe I ll get lucky, well its only autox not track, I don't have that much miles on the car, I ll keep it for another year and see what happens.
But what I am for sure not doing is taking it to the track. The evidence against it is just too much. Maybe with the next car I ll take the local HPDE school and dip my toes into tracking. For now I'll stick with autox
