Whats a Scoob worth in scrap nowadays?
Today I recieved the news that I had been dreading. The bottom end of my 2009 impreza diesel has failed and the car is now scrap. The repair costs outway what the car is now worth, and so its now time to get rid and cut my losses and effecitvly write it off.
Repair costs are £9k as it needs a complete new engine, thanks ot a bearing failing and the resulting swarf being passed around the engine taking the turbo with it. In its current state, it runs just, but no one knows for how much longer.

There are other options. Speak to a specialist about your options, not subaru direct.

I really feel for you mate. Mine went pop ( not diesel) and IM refused the warranty unfairly imo. Fortunately for me the dealer put it right (Chelmsford AMC) and i came up smelling of roses. IM the cheeky sods even had the cheek to phone me the other week to see if i wanted to renew my warranty. I told them straight what i thought of there warranty.

Feel for you.
In my experience (and I have done this) money talks - or lack of.
The dealer has suffered no loss - only you - so time to turn the tables. Park your car directly outside the dealers on public land. Put on the inside windscreen in big letters all of the ablove, car only done 57K, blown engine, warranty claim refused. Walk in to the dealer and tell them your going to leave the car there until such a time that thay do something and walk away. It will affect their sales - so it now hurts their cash. You may be suprised how quick they get back. I did this for a few years back to a Citroen dealer - by the time I got back home there was a hire car on my drive, etc etc.

Bloody hell, 9 grand for a Diesel engine!!
Would it not be worth your whole getting a new engine built. A 3-4 year old car is a lot to write off in the heat of the moment. Someone would be getting a bargain for 2500 quid if you are serious.
