Genuine 555
 
Hi,

Anyone got any views on the authenticity of this.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=300554974076

I thought they were meant to all be blue. The codes on the vin plate look correct though.:confused:

Larky 17 May 2011 10:11 PM

Now Im really confused.

Found some info on here.


http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/wrx.html

Looks like the engine and options codes are swapped.

Option code looks like a wrx sti v2

Trippie 17 May 2011 10:20 PM

my mrs has a genuine v2 sti and the vin plate is the same as a 555 ltd
apart from the paint code and trim :Suspiciou
Shaun.

Larky 17 May 2011 10:36 PM

Scoobies can be so confusing. You never know what your buying. Or not buying in my case.:Suspiciou

g7prs 17 May 2011 10:41 PM

555 were never made in White! And it's not got the roof flap either ( although these are often added to cars now as well )

Larky 17 May 2011 10:45 PM

Thanks for the info.

Dont you just hate ebay. Its a freaking mine field.

Thank god for scoobynet.:thumb:

g7prs 17 May 2011 10:47 PM

You see some cars advertised with " wrx sti 22b type r" and on and on! I think some people do it to hit lots of searches and others just don't have a clue :)

Only in 555 53c blue! 500 saloons and 100 wagons!

Larky 17 May 2011 10:55 PM

Im a bit clueless myself.

But im a demon at surfing the net and usually routing out the rubbish. Bit of a tight wad aswell so never buy anything without being sure of it first.

Will have to look out for a classic on here. Much more chance of getting something which is what the owner says it is.

Thanks again for the info.:thumb:

MattyB1983 18 May 2011 10:56 PM

I couldn't help myself, I messaged him asking if his car has had a respray as 555 only came in blue. Let's see what he comes back with, lol.

Spot on plus they weren't numbered like the v-limited's :thumb: I must be mad using my 555 daily and putting 200 miles a day on it :eek:

lmao :lol: When my sister was buying her wrx (GC8) it seemed that everything was advertised as an sti :rolleyes: People seem to talk out of their arses and that 415bhp type R (4 door on a standard TMIC) says it all :nono:

MattyB1983 19 May 2011 09:00 AM

He got back to me.
He reckons that the English 555 editions were blue with Roof flap but JDM 555's came in other colours and without flap....

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

TonyBurns 19 May 2011 10:15 AM

The guy has no idea, probably told it was a 555 from the previous owner who took him for another 1k extra :lol1:
Even the information he has given shows its only a v2 STI and not a 555 :rolleyes:

Tony:)

MattyB1983 19 May 2011 11:16 AM

He is the second guy I have messaged in the last couple of days putting them straight on their car.
I might make it my mission to put these idiots straight.

Yes I am very bored, work is a bit slack at the minute, lol.

Cleaning up ebay, one fool at a time.

http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/wrx.html

so is the site above pants :Suspiciou

53 19 May 2011 06:58 PM

It's not pants, but as with all things a little knowledge can be dangerous ;)

MattyB1983 19 May 2011 10:03 PM

That site could misslead some people.
For instance, the STI V2 has the same number as the 555 edition, and the STI V3 has the same as the V Limited etc etc.
As above, a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous.
