Default Advert: Spec D.......ccd

Came across this advert and though it was very misleading for anyone that doesn't know a lot about subaru's & thinking they're buying a Spec D.

What are your thoughts?

It's clearly not a spec D, it's just how they keep repeating 'Spec D' / 'Spec D-CCD' etc in the advert. I think it's very misleading and some poor guys going to think they've got a Spec D!

I own a Spec D and that one's not even the right colour.

Looks like a fairly clean V9. Probably a better car than a Spec D in base form.

It's a blob for a start.
You get this a lot with traders, I message a dealer asking if he was sure the wrx 300 he was advertising was a wrx 300, as it was an 03 and not an 05. Didn't hear a thing from him, and the advert remained on eBay for a few more weeks then disappeared.
Just had a quick look and it appears to be back on, advertised as a uk300 this time.
It is a blob, so clearly isn't a uk300, but then a recent thread on here suggests a few people have got uk300 on the logbook for standard wrx's.
Problem is this trader has obviously researched uk300 and wrx 300 so has stated it is one of 300 built, but it is just a standard ten a penny wrx.
