Congratulations on your purchase!

I can't offer much assistance to you on most of your questions, but on the remote programming one were the doors and trunk closed while you were attemtping to program the remote?

Warranty is up to you, but may be a good purchase. I'm a little concerend with your post about the transmission.

Have you taken it to a Subaru dealership or competent tech for inspection? You might also want to try and hook up with immortal suby, he lives in SC and may be able to help you.
