Default 555 wagon help??

hi wanted to ask all of your expertise on a chassis plate for a 555 wagon I've been looking at all the info I can find on it tells me it's a v3 special edition but wasn't 555's v2?? I dunno?? Any help/guidance would be great
Chassis plate numbers are:
Gf8d5ed/model
Ej20kdw6pr/engine type
Ty752vbcaa/transmission type
71c/option code
720/trim code
53c/colour code

Thanks for the info,It's got all the badges saying its a 555 number blah blah,you don't think they just rolled on the 555's onto version 3's because of sales numbers and model year changes??

People buy cheap ebay badges and then bluff the description. They get caught out soon enough when posting on Subaru savvy websites. Looks like you have been bluffed.

I'm just thinking to myself here but am I getting confused between 555 v3 v limiteds being made and badged up/plaqued up special editions and the v2 555???

I'm just thinking here but did they do a limited run on the v3 v limited??555 in total then badge them up with a plaque saying what number they were in that limited run,that may explain why it's listed as a 555??

I have a 555 Wagon but even though it's awesome, as an investment the saloons are the ones to buy

Must admit I do prefer the look of the wagons over the saloons,I'm guessing the original shape imprezas will be going up n up in value like I see the r32 skylines have rocketed up in the last year
