Default JDM STi WX55 BWG - Anyone know the history?

Folks does anyone know the history/previous owners of the car above that is for sale on ebay (281152949229). I've got a client who's interested in it and it has a Scoobynet Tax disc holder so chances are the ex owner is on here?

I can't remember for sure, but I think it's a car I bought over WX is a manchester reg so would have been done here at my local office. Pretty sure the first owner was a SN membe.

Probably a Litchfield's car, V & W are around that part of the country (VX/WX).

Cheers lads. Russell (WUZ) is looking into it for me. Hoping to find out if its had a good life or if there is some questionable history with it.

Have checked the feedback and seems fine, but it's the car I'm interested in.

WUZ called the 'seller' who turned out to be his 'Brother'. Told him we were interested and he's never called back!

First reg'd in Bristol, so could be a Litchfield.

However, I'd have thought that Tewkesbury would have been a Worcester reg, not a Bristol one.

Just viewed the ad, and it definitely ain't a Litchfield. (If it was I'm sure that the seller would have mentioned it).

Blitz bits and pieces - owner wants noise, imo.
Stickers etc. - owner wants 'presence' and street cred, imo.

Had an Ins claim but you would never know if the seller hadn't mentioned it - ever heard of HPI?

"Always Been Warmed Up And Cooled Down Before And After Journeys. Always Run On Shell V Power, And Serviced With The Best Oils" - they would say that but don't actually mention which oils.

Most of the rest of the ad is what you'd expect of a JDM STi or what you'd like to hear.

As I say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Ask a lot of questions (some as above) and if you're happy with the answers then you've got yourself a bargain.

Who's interested in the car, you or Wuz? Are you the aforementioned client? I don't mind checking the car out as I'm not far from Bradford. However if you're paying Wuz to source you a car then I'll leave it to him to give it the once over.

Hi, I am the client. WUZ is a good mate of mine who has done all the work on my previous cars and I've asked him to help me source another Subaru. He is a personal friend and no cash is involved in helping me find a car.

Thanks for the offer to check the car out, I never bid on the car as the seller never contacted WUZ back. The auction had ended and the car never made the reserve so we are going to try and contact him tomorrow.

No Bodski don't do it! It means we'll have another 'Get Bodski in to an Impreza' campaign.

For anyone wanting info on the car the OP is asking about Eggy790 is your man.
