Default What! Ebay classic

Subaru Impreza WRX UK Intercooler on eBay, also, Subaru, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 19-Dec-07 22:06:37 GMT)

OK so its not STi, for sure, and never heard of a WRX STi UK at that age - friendly email sent but all I got back was a stack of abuse I can't put on here in full but decipeher SCaCMF - shame ebay don't have an 'avoid this seller at all cost' section in the favourites! Oh well ebay sent a complaint....

The UK didn't get an STI in 1995 (as you pointed out) as far as i know there were no classic shaped UK stis.


this is why i hate ebay you can get some bargains or you can't get ripped off quite badly.

I thought you were talking about a car at first, not a dirty poxy intercooler.

I read it as an intercooler that will fit a uk or wrx or sti of that year.

Yes, it isn't an STI intercooler so it should be ammended.

To be fair its similar to some MY95 brake discs being advertised as MY95 UK WRX STI disks. Yes they fit all types, he isn't describing a car!

He only wants a fiver for it FFS!

Now if he was advertising a UK WRX STI Type R Spec C RA-R S201 door cards for £250 + £250 uninsured postage without bubblewrap - then it might be different

For a fiver I dont think this seller has any intentions of ripping anyone off.

Yes but the entry pipe WRX/turbo to STi is different, so it can't fit both.....

You will find that they are one of the best sellers on EBAY for Scooby spare parts.

I have used them a few times and never had any problems, and an intercooler no matter what it's from for a fiver??!! Does it matter?

Chill out.

It does if you sell it as an STi when its not...

If I have an STi and buy it, its the wrong one, if I have a WRX and buy it as I'm told the STi is better, its the same as I have and I've lost out. Then to come up with such a neanderthal reply when questioned was the icing on the cake - I wouldn't have posted here otherwise!

I think that the reply is of far more importance than the original advert. That said: I wouldnt deal with any Bradford-based breaker, unless they were personally recommended.
