STI on Autotrader - Too good to be true??
Hi all - Just having a look through Autotrader as you do and came across this
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...p&platform=DFA
Looks extremely cheap! I was not aware that Subaru made white Blobeye STIs in the UK so could this be an import however no rear wiper??
Cheers
Gary

Price seems extremely low especially with low mileage. The updated blobeye STI is my ideal scoob but didn't think I could afford one until I saw this however my WRX has probably lost a similar amount in value!

It looks spot on.. I'm thinking i'm spending far too my on my classic and i should get newer.
I really want a spec c but out of price range. This on the other hand..

Selling 12 other cars, certainly cheap but he probably got it is a trade in from a despirate owner, or picked it up at auction..We all know Subaru's are'nt selling great. I would look at it for sure/.....not every good deal is in fact a bad deal...

Thanks Kevin_STI looks like it's had a colourful past then surely it shouldn't still be on the road!

There must be some made up government department that prosecutes dealers like this, the dealer needs reporting!!
Some poor perspective buyer who is to trusting and would not think to run a hpi check as it's from a dealer would get seriously stung,

That car is the ultimate death trap for some unsuspecting potential buyer and his/her family. How would we all feel if someone bought this car and we heard at a later date that the car fell apart, or similar, at high speed and killed all the occupants???
Ive just copied and sent the HPI report to the dealer asking if he is aware of the car's history.
I will let you know his reply.
