Default would you be mad?

HI guys just thought id let you in on the problms im having with my vehicle.

These are all problems that the car came with and im slowly finding them out as i go. OK here are the problems. Im hoping some are not too major and can be fixed quickly via the infinate wisdom this forum brings forth.
note: the car is a 93 legacy RS. It has a 96 WRX engine with td05h turbo, 3" turbo back exhaust, std jap ecu, turbo smart stg2 boost controller, turbo smart type 2 BOV and a boost guage.. Thats about it mechanically.

PROBLM #

1. Car stalls. either floggin it or driving nanna style the car 50% of the time will stall at the lights.

2. turbo timer will not kick in and the car will turn straight off. Usually happens after a "spirited" drive

3. The alarm will turn on out of nowhere, the lights will turn on out of nowhere, the central locking will open the doors out of nowhere.

4. When i bought the car the first thing i noticed was a crunchy reverse. Now i know alot of subis can be stuck with this problm and not have to worry about it, but the friction point was on the floor so i let the nice gentlemen at TENAGAH have a looksy for me and they gave me nice pedal feel and no crunch but virtually NO CLUTCH. Now the pedal feels like shit again and the crunch is worse than ever but thanks the the nice gentlemen once again i have a sort of clutch.

5. On a few occasions ive heard the font cvs clicking.

6. the car has been in no fewer than 3 MAJOR accidents. Once VERY VERY recently. Even when asked about the cars history i was given no word on the accidents.

7. Rear suspension geometry could be out. Ive been advised that after the first rear ender (yes its had 2) the rear suspension has never been the same, the swaybar is not only there to look pretty or go hard, its there to make it feel straight. rear wheel on the drivers side looks like its toing in a bit.

8. 4th gear has a nice crunchy feel to it and when reversing the center diff sounds like its whining. *ive been advised that the box was replaced with a 4.44 ratio box when the rear diff is quite clearly a 4.11

9. after the car was purchased i was given a copy of the import papers and it says that the car was imported for parts! its been registered in australia for about 5 years in canberra.

10. liquid filled boost guage.. the liquid is now in the dash.

Some of these porblems im not tooo worried about. But things like the stalling, the turbo timer , the alarm etc are urgent. I feel i paid too much for a car with this many problems (14000) When i asked the Seller, (who i had met and spoken to before the purchase) If the car needed to be checked over, she said that there is NOTHING wrong with the car, They wouldnt sell me a dodgy car and i have their word on that. And the sellers Partner also had an RS. Plus now i KNOW for a fact that the seller knew about these problems looong before they even thought about selling the car.

Now besides the obvious technical questions ive listed, Is there anything i can rightfully do to get at least some cash back for the reapairs? Im only worried about the clutch and the body. as the other problems i think cannot be avoided. Let me know what you think and or help with the stalling etc

CHEERS
