scoobyseller555 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I have sent you a PM,the service book is correct as it will offer both normally aspirated and turbo service schedules,all the models have the same book.A 2.0 RX also has nav,keyless entry and push button start which the vehicle comes in with so therefore yours should have this fitted!!

bobbyc Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) I must admit with failing STI engines & now another wee horror story i'm beginning to wonder where Subaru are heading with there new cars, I've heard a lot of bad reports from people who have had dealings with Subaru UK in recent times, I'm certainly not hearing anything that would convince me to buy a new Subaru anytime soon.

col666 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Shocking. Although doesnt surprise me. Having just been robbed of nearly £1000 by Subaru I'm very interested to see how they wriggle themselves out of this one.
P1_Paul Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 If you can get all that in writing, then surely you'll get a full refund on the payments already made, along with a new car? That is scandalous, post this on as many Subaru forums as you can!
guv dhillon Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Another example of mass marketing pressure, this is very slippery slope subaru are on just to get rid of a few cars. Mercedes learnt a dear lesson from doing similar stuff when they were bought by the american, quality went down the pan.
badbaz Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Sounds horrific, as above you haven't had what you actually leased so get on the lease company's back! Or, wait a minute, did Andy not say they've gone bust? Sticky position you're in bud. How long has lease to go? I know it's no laughing matter but on a lighter note, I'm dreading Andy in a real WRX let alone an STi!!!!
Jazmac Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Surley this contract you have with the hire company must be nil and void and worth nothing as the car is basically a fraud and not what you have contracted to hire. Therfore i would say hand the cars back early with no penalties on you and then seek compo for the monies you have handed over for hire costs so far against a false spec car.
st3ph3n Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Get along to Citizens Advice with your lease contracts. It sounds to me that you've been given a product that wasn't what you asked for and is therefore not fit for purpose.
StewartyBoy Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Get along to Citizens Advice with your lease contracts. It sounds to me that you've been given a product that wasn't what you asked for and is therefore not fit for purpose. Fit for purpose is a grey area, he asked for a car and got a car yes but do the parts that were supposed to be upgraded make the car dangerous or just not what you've paid for? The fraud lies in the car spec. I would be gaining gearbox spec serial numbers, diff numbers shaft etc and build yourself a case. Whoever now owns leasing rights to the car needs to be contacted and notified of these problems, even if they are willing to do nowt. Just to have it recorded for case. At this point of time I would see this car as being "modified" and should be very cautious with your insurance as well. Just because Subaru rebuilt it doesnt mean its standard spec. To an insurance company, the specified parts for a WRX are'nt in your car therefore the lesser parts in place make it higher risk which I'm sure your insurance would like to know about. My personal advice is go all out and make a huge stink about this. Most people will say it, but never follow through. Threaten media action. No car company, especially now needs a "quality control" scare over their brand ESPECIALLY one which may prove so damaging. Good luck guys.
green_goblin Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Thats shockin......you think you can trust companies like that but it shows you that you are not even safe getting a new car!! mental!! hope all goes well
StrikE Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I'm dreading Andy in a real WRX let alone an STi!!!! LOL yeah that would be bad Pretty grim with the cars tho guys, that may explain the squeekin noise the last time!!!
Badgerboy Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) I know it's no laughing matter but on a lighter note, I'm dreading Andy in a real WRX let alone an STi!!!!

colin_ross Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Something tells me legal considerations have come into play. Either that or there's a deal to be done by keeping quiet.
scoobysailor Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 You were right with your first guess........
RA Dunk Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 You were right with your first guess........ Whats not legal about telling a group of people you thought you bought a WRX but got shafted with something else?
