Beware- Dodgy Impreza for sale
Afternoon all,
I just thought this might be worth bringing to people's attention, save anyone getting bitten.
I came across this advert on Pistonheads by a guy called Razi Islam: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2092552.htm
I also came across this advert on Gumtree from about a month ago from a guy called Don:
http://www.gumtree.com/london/03/65300903.html
Even the partially sighted amongst us will have noticed that at least one of the pictures in the new for sale advert is the same as the one from the original Gumtree advert. You will also have spotted that a month ago the car had 140k on the clock, yet now only has 100k.
The original advert shows some damage to the bonnet and front bumper, the new advert has an ok bonnet but a bad repair to the front bumper in the same place as the original damage. Also note the mis-matched vents in both adverts.
In a nutshell, this car has been badly repaired and clocked. Also no mention as to whether the PAS leak has been fixed.
Hope this helps avoid anyone getting stung

Some quality mods on there too. I particularly like the 22B bonnet vent! 
Hopefully the good people of S-Net land wouldn't consider that POS.

I hope i am not doing him a disservice but i am sure there was a thread about a year back about scamming across several car boards, if not Razi then apologies to him.
Here ya go - found the thread about Razi: https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...azi-islam.html
