Well that's your responsibility to carfax ANYTHING you buy used... shady on the dealers part sure, but still your responsibility.

Not all salesmen are perfect, and I would guess it was probably a salesman who "Didn't know what they were talking about" regarding a car that the dealership does not sell. Acura dealers aren't required to know the first thing about Subarus.

And I've owned 6, and the ONLY ONE i've ever had trouble with was my Contour, bought from a private individual.
