wouldn't surprise me, at the end of the day they're a classic Scoob, probably MY99/00.

Ok so it's a P1 - but it's still several 'generations' old now

Not exactly low miles either

Still, bot a bad weekend-toy if you had 3k lying around

Here is the reply i got from the seller having emailed them at the email address given

Hello,
I have received your email regarding my car 2000 SUBARU IMPREZA P1 BLUE.
First you have to know bidding is restricted since I am carefully with my auction,so no one will press the button until I have the assurance that he will buy it.
The car is in perfect condition,with no scratches on it,no damage. It have all the papers and documents and is registered in UK!
The price for the car is £3,100.00 !!!
The car was my husband`s as he loved it very much, but he did not enjoy it as he died in a IRAQ 3 month ago. It brings very bad memories to me, I want to get rid of it.
The buyer will receive the car with all papers and receipts that he needs to register it to his name. It have 90800miles!
I am in BERLIN,GERMANY right now but the car is in UK and it will be shipped from there.
Shipping will be done whit DAS and it will take no more then 2-3 days. I have a friend there who will manage me a low price shipping and I assumed that it is my duty to pay for shipping it.It will be delivered directly to your address.
Anyway, I have to let you know that I want a fast deal so if you are really interested in buying it, please reply with the following information's:
-Your full name and address;
-Your ebay user id.
The transaction will be closed only through eBay vehicle purchase protection so we both be protected.
Also in this way you have the chance to pay after you receive and test the car!
I will look for your email,so that we can move forward with this deal!
Let me know,
Pauline

p.s. that email isnt really from ebay, lee, have a look at the full headers of the email and you'll find its not from ebay, but one of 'paulines' other accounts pretending to be ebay.

i've just accepted to buy this car from an anonymous email account, she wants the money by western union, and asked me where she should deliver the car

- please deliver the car right up your *** you scamming bitch,

i hope it gets there in one piece and the wipers still work.
