if you're happy with the car and it drives well, then keep it (but I'd try to get some of your money back given the fact it was in a rollover) but if you're not happy with it or don't trust the strength of the body should you yourself be in an accident, bring it back

Material Damage, Divison 3.6 Vehicle Sales, Section 9990-9993
They HAVE to disclose it in writing. Get another WRX unless you got it for a CRAZY LOW price.

Be forewarned. It can have a 'clean' CarFax and still have been in an accident. Happens ALL the time... we see cars with obvious body work coming in on trade that show 'clean'. We still say, no thanks!

Update
Just thought I would say thanks for the advice and let you guys know what is going on now....I know I did everything *** backwards...
So I spoke with the General Sales Manager(finally), and he told me that the contract was only good for a week even though there is no date or mileage limitation written down. From my understanding of contracts, is that there are no implications when making a contract, so you must write everything out.
So basically he is not going to accept the contract. He said everything was fixed correctly and I said that is fine, but that I was disapointed in the customer service I was recieving and the fact that I was not given the details of the accident and the repairs.
I am contacting the better business bureau and planning on using my companines legal advice system.
To be honest...I love the car, but am very disapointed I had to go out of my way to find all of these things out. I still feel that they needed to disclose EVERYTHING.

I just have to back up with everyone is saying. Take it back and sue them. If it isn't written it's no good. Think about what they would say to you if they told you 22K out the door and when you showed up they asked for 24K out the door. "Well do you have it on paper?". I'm sorry I don't see the 1 week limit on this and you don't have paper saying so. If you took them to court with the return then they would lose. The only thing is that you did buy it in Oct and thats a long time for you to be argueing things.

Did the Dealer take back the car? Just saw posting for 06 Limited from that dealer in Oakland. About a month ago it was posted and I had called that dealer and they said it was sold and now it's posted again. Hope things work out or maybe you need to press the dealer with channel 7 on your side.

Unless it's written on the contract, there is no time limit. He's blowing you off in the hopes you'll disappear. Keep hounding him - ask to speak to the owner. Be polite, but forceful. Explain that you will have to seek recourse through the BBB and your lawyer if they will not honor the terms of their contract.
