why can't the buyer ask the seller via ebay??? are you trying to dodge selling fees by any chance.
Maybe the stickers and roof vent was bought from you?

Seller has bought a Cat D cheap and got his mate (Max) at a Subaru Garage to tidy it up a bit ...... now looking for a big fat profit.

Why do people even entertain these cars when there are loads of straight, decent, offerings about?

It is, and will always be, a cat D!

I'd stay well away 'cos of the CAT-D status.

There's no bidders so far which tells you something too.

But I'd stay away from all Scoobs now due to insurance, tax, and fuel costs.

No good me saying it now as it sounds like an excuse but I would have removed them anyway, both vent and graphics.

As for the cat d. That only worries me when it comes to resale.
I've been in the trade of crashed damaged and if you understand how it works I'm sure you would buy a cat d to save 1k ish

I wouldn't personally buy a cat d but it is only cosmetic damage so no biggy.

you will get a decent blob wrx for your budget if you look around

3k may not be enough but 4k should see you ok.

Nope. If you save £1k now but have to drop the price by that much when you come to sell, you've not gained anything. You've also taken on the hassle of making sure the car is actually OK, was repaired properly, and then when you come to sell you'll have a lot more trouble finding a buyer.

I wouldn't touch it with a long pole.
