As Jamie says, a scam unless the guy has Big Ed banging on his door from a bet that went bad. Way too cheap for what looks to be a very nice car..

A scam I'm sure. We were selling a Zafira GSi a few years back and low and behold someone else was also selling our car at the same time, same pictures everything, only a 'you can only contact me on the email address listed' ad. Reported to auto trader at the time but it still took them 2 days to remove it!

Usually the scam adverts don't have phone numbers on the listing, just email addresses. Also scam adverts are usually priced at silly low prices i.e. 3-4k (sometimes lower) than their actual value - You can pick up a blob STi for 5.5k so 3.9k is not really that underpriced for me to think it's a scam. Possibly just someone who either doesn't know what they are selling for / needs a quick sale / it has undisclosed issues.

Also on eBay...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-imp...-/251462652226

No feedback as a seller only buyer but has been a member since 2011. I'll ask if its advertised anywhere else.

I don't think it's way underpriced tbh just a cheap sti but I wouldn't expect a minter that's all still if anyone is after one it's worth a call
