new screen now in - before the heavens opened too

Apologetic phone call taken this morning after overnight reflection. Will update in due course Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Project starts today...new windscreen [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is a shame and you hope and expect better. I'll get it sorted myself now as they are clearly not interested in any good will other than 'bring the car back, I'll put the price up and sell it again'....nice touch. At least I'll know it's right and that I've done it once it's sorted. Satisfaction guaranteed [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

true colours of dealer coming through in email exchange this evening

Just had a look at the pictures I took...if you look in the red taillight lens of the car in front, above the steering wheel, you can see it. Clearly was there when we viewed it mate, we just missed it. Going to send picture to him and see what he says when I say I might report the mot tester Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think something is off....either we missed it or they have caused it between viewing and pick up. I know for sure nothing happened on the way home and I rang them as soon as I got through the door. It's been done from inside as no impact mark outside and hasn't even gone right through. Didn't appreciate effectively being called a liar when I rang this morning Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Make sure that they know it's a import ,bud . Cos on the classics imports have black tint and uk versions have green tint [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it [emoji4] Have done mate cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Replacement screen booked for tomorrow [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks jdm I do have cover but it hasn't happened while I've had the car. There's a 5cm crack on drivers side and other chips elsewhere so it really has to go. Thanks for trying to help though; appreciate it [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No mate, it's not damage I can say has been caused since I picked the car up, despite the dealer spiel. Has a few other chips in it too so needs sorting really for safety. Not worth the risk; just want it fixed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How bad are windscreen replacement companies too....have called 3 this morning and only 1 has got back to me. £240 plus vat for new front screen. Needs it and can be done tomorrow so unless the others beat that in next couple hours, I'll be getting this done. There goes my winter wheels fund for now lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, it's been a long term dream to own a turbo and feel privileged to have found such a rare low mileage auto import wrx. I'm in it for the long term and like my cars to be right, so anything and everything will get done in time. It's already totally changed how I view driving, and I thought I enjoyed it in my outback!

My thoughts exactly. Not overly impressed with this to be honest Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dealer is in denial about windscreen; my own fault really. Has also said the knocking is 'normal' for imprezas at rear due to actual shocks used [emoji53] Has offered to look at my sticky brakes but said these would have been checked too before sale. All in all I'm minded just to book in to a local Indy specialist and have them give it a once over. After sales, I would suggest, offers room for improvement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks good to me [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Updated my profile; and picture

Thanks for the advice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She did say just before we got home, "has this car got suspension?" Bless her [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pressure washer, lance, snow foam.... [emoji38] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll report in on my first wrx auto brim to brim later this week. Expecting more than I'll get normally due to 135 mile motorway journey back home from picking it up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She's happy for me mate [emoji23] In all seriousness we've done 2 X 45 mile journeys and she said it's a lovely car and doesn't think it would be the same if I changed the exhaust. Done 225 miles now and fuel gauge still showing 1/3 tank left. I think I have sticky brake syndrome and a knocking I haven't managed to locate yet. Hoping it's just the wooden spare wheel well cover and going to do school run without it in tomorrow to see. Speaking with the dealer tomorrow about cracked windscreen anyway so will mention these things too. Both neighbours have spoken to the Mrs and I about the car already...both chaps in late 20s / early 30s...still strange having a car that turns heads [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
