Default Looking at this Preza on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-SUBAR...item19d74ee8b2

Your thoughts in general, guys?

To me it seems like the seller isn't sure exactly what variant he's selling. Is this a WRX or just a Turbo? Or maybe even a GX?

Looks like a sport special, they're 2.0 flat 4 non turbo. Someone has put a turbo bonnet on it at some point.

Yes, the description says they were installed by a PO to cover up rust.

Yup, that's what I figured. How much would it be worth, any idea at a rough guess?

And, is that colour original or maybe a post-big-crash repaint?

It's an original colour. The Sport Special was a non-turbo special edition which the factory churned out at the end of the model's life, 200 in black and 200 in yellow just like the ad says. The turbo bonnet is original too.

Given that it's a non-turbo car, rusty, in a duff colour and without a complete service history, I wouldn't personally touch it with a long pole.
