I took my front bumper cover off, to see why the bumper was "loose."
The car has been damaged. The bumper bar is bent. It's consistent with damage caused by hitting a rock. Someone crashed my WRX before I got it. Frame not bent/cracked.
Cool, I didn’t know melons was from ontario….. I too would be interested to know the dealer. Also have you been in touch with CAMVAP? Also Subaru directly (if you purchased from a Subaru dealer)
Also from the pictures that’s a pretty decent impact
That sucks. I don’t mean to rub it in at all, but how did it manage to get safetied in that state?
Thats awful, man. Its mechanics like that that give us all a bad name. I know its a simple fix, but its really the principle here. I know I would be pissed.
This is why I wouldn’t ever buy a used WRX, owners spank the Hell out of them and you never know what might have happened.
If you had to take the bumper cover off to find the damage, how is the inspector supposed to see the damage? I do understand where you’re coming from, but I also think you’re blowing it a bit out of proportion, only considering the how minor the damage is. But if you suspect the inspector knew about this to begin with, as you mention the owners are brothers, then he should at least have said something.
This whole shady mechanic business is making me worried about checking out a possible purchase on Wednesday :(
Why’s your name melons? Like a watermelon?
Sorry to hear dude, I love your car. You know I do.
By someone, do you mean the previous buyer, or just bringing it in for an inspection or something of the sort?
No bueno. Best of luck.
The laws must be way different in BC as it’s not necessary to remove the bumper to check the beam here. Seems like a huge pain in the ass, especially with older cars that have..err..DIY bumper fasteners. By your standards my car would be a deathtrap lol.
