Default buyers beware p1

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2000-Subar...sAAOSwXrhXmj1m

Hi everyone,this was my old car and so obviously i know some of the history. Unfortunately i wrote this car off (late 2004 if i remember right)insurance cat b at the time and so i was unable to buy the car to be put back on the road so i was told.Anyway after a while i received a letter through the post with pics of the repaired car that i am told was reclassified cat c and the new owner requested any service history etc that i had.
The car is a jap car that was imported new by subaru uk for shows etc prior to their release it is not 1 of the official 1000 cars,it has the shortened vin number and had dccd etc ,also the car is not a 1 owner car.i was the 2nd.
I'm not saying it is not a good car it might be,looking at the pics a lot has changed since i owned it, but just making you aware there is lots of false info in the advert.

I've just emailed the seller and this is his reply

New message from: shiz91 (219Turquoise Star)
Hi, regardless is X544 HAE I'll do a hpi check myself but I'm sure it's never been involved in a colission that I know off or been told by previous owner but will check. I hope it's not.

Is there any chance u can forward me. THANKS

I's been talked about on the P1WOC, the seller says it's got a certain P1 build number out of a 1000 but that doesn't tie in with our P1 records or register

wouldn't mind the front bumper & splitter and rear spoiler of it for spares lol

Definitely off road for a while. I wonder what was changed when it was put back on the road?
Also, it won't be full service history, unless it was serviced every year it was off the road

Original advert said "in family since 2003"
Updated advert says he's just found out it was written off in 2004...lol...

What a helmet... clearly just trying it on.

You don't need to read the description to see that this car is being sold by some bell piece. Those pictures are awful, and a clear cut sign of a dodgy bloke!
