IMO the price seems fair but I'd still try to get some money off simply because some people won't want to risk a theft recovery. As for the break in, it's fine. But damn.. that 4x4 mode in the pic is not fine.

That ride height.. I guess it's normal I just haven't really owned one at stock height in 8 years.
I guess I've rebuilt a few and sold them at stock height but I never really looked at them in a pic like the one you posted.. that fender gap is huge ha

Not sure I follow, I've had plenty of warranty service done on vehicles that likely had something less than a clean record. Cosmetic damage should not void a mechanical warranty, and it sounds as if this does have a clean title.

My guess is this thing has a branded title given him comment about the warranty coverage.

Maybe Subaru of Canada sucks but they can't wholesale void a title here without a branded title. @Tcoat likely knows the dumb, but relevant, Canadian laws. If it's not branded there's no reason for Subaru to deny warranty.

It became a “branded” title the minute it was paid for by insurance. The claim was likely not for the damage so much as it took a while to find and they paid out. This is supported by the info that it was sold at auction. It would be classed as a recovered vehicle not a rebuild.
As far as the warranty goes you just need to balance the probability of a costly repair against the reduced price. As we have seen the likelihood of an expensive Warranty claim on a post 13 is remote so I personally would not even worry much about that. There is also the option of paying for an extended warranty but you would need to speak to the dealer about that. I myself would consider such a car if looking for the best value for the dollar I could find.

The stock height is just suitable for monster trucks! Even though I winter drive it I still will lower. The gap is more noticeable on the red and orange since it gives a big black void. The Hakone green covers up that wheel gap pretty well but it still bothers me every time I walk up from the side.
