I must be a bit naive.... Facebook Subaru buy/sell group....
Last week I joined a Facebook group called 'Sell Your Subaru & Parts UK'.... It's got almost 5,000 members so I assume it's one of the main groups. Since I joined I have never seen so much junk, non-turbo's and bad examples of cars appearing on my Facebook feed. I know Subaru's have a bit of a reputation with some people regarding them as chavvy, but I never knew it was this bad!!
I guess that because I only visit enthusiast forums, the majority of the bad examples are filtered out and don't appear on the forums (properly because the plebs who own them don't know what a forum is) and I only see the good/well cared for motors. I have not seen a single nice car for sale that I would be remotely interested in, they're all just awful!
Anyway, it's opened my eyes a little that's for sure.
In 24 hours this beautiful line-up of cars are up for sale:
Non-turbo
GX Sport
Bad knocking engine

Ive bought quite a few bits from there with no hassle, fair prices too. I think its safer than ebay, if you sell crap someones liable to get your particulars, come to your home and smash your windows/car/knee caps.
Beacause theyre not "enthusiasts" tend not to get over inflated prices and head up **** syndrome.

The group is called: Sell Your Subaru & Parts UK
I think you need to join/like it. It's unbelievable the crap that's being sold! If you click on the peoples profiles who are selling cars like this, they don't look intelligent either
