Well I won't ask why you bought a car from a dealer when it had done over 180k and paid dealer prices. I guess I made plenty of mistakes at your age too haha EA Falcoon being one of them.

I would persue the dealer and see if they are willing to help out. If it becomes a hassle as it more than likely will especially with a backyard dealer (if that's who you went to), then pay for the short motor and get yourself back up and running and accept your losses.

If you were to take it to court and spend the time fighting it, as said above I think you'd have a pretty good case.

If the dealer will help out do not let their mechanic do it! Agree on a reputable Subi mechanic.

And who was the dealer? I don't see any reason to keep it a secret, neither party has done anything untoward.......yet
