    Hey, I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience on buying cars from this dealership/shop. The car has a salvage title car. The car is a blue 04 WRX. If anyone has any more info on this place I would appreciate it. Or, if anyone know the car and can attest to condition or repair quality. Supposedly their mechanic has owned it for two year.....

    Just wanting to save him, and mainly me the headache of him buying a POS WRX.

    Headgaskets in a wrx? Now i would be concerned, unless the t-belt snapped.

    checked out a 2k civic si for my bro from eastside auto. for some odd reason the car didn't pull hard maybe the vtec wasn't working properly. test the car out completely or you'll be stuck with the bill.

    I am more worried about the work on the car(body work, mechanical work ect...) being done ****ty. The car supposedly has a new timing belt and water pump. It was a front end hit so I assume it caused there need to be a timing belt. I also believe the heads have been off(probably due to accident)....
