ha-evolution Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Sick and tired of waiting for news on the Legacy so I decided to get this: [URL]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2465176462&category=31868[/URL] Now I just gotta find the local Western Union office to send out my $1,500 deposit. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 So is it an auto or a manual, front swap or bugeye, 2L or 2.5L? :lol: Almost as good as the 2004 STi V8 auto I heard someone talking about a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 I'll let you know as soon as I get back from picking it up from RACING FAN, USA??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 2002, second owner, where was this car? We didn't have STis here in 2002... Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Not only is the model year wrong, if you check out the specifications on the engine, the 2.5L only puts out 276HP! Well I shouldn't say only, but it's missing 24HP... -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 There's a LOT of inconsitencies in that ad. 18.1" wheels. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other markets got the 2.0 for their STi, or the 2.2 in the case of the 22B. The 2.5T debuted in this market, with the STi, which is at the earliest, a 2004 car. Could the date be a typo? Not with two owners, you would think. I dunno 'bout that one. That's definitely a USDM STi in the picture, though, complete with pelican on the hood and picnic table on the trunk. Personally, I would stay far, far away from that car. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Yeah, the whole ebay listing is a typo - actually scam is more like it. My posts were a joke on my part including the reference to a 2.5 turbo from 02. Having owned an STi I'm quite versed in the history of the car. I've actually got this cool Japanese mag that has every STi version from 01 to the current facelifted STi. I always wanted to get it translated because they have detailed information on the development, specs, road tests, etc. of the current STi. Anyone read Japanese?

ha-evolution Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 At least someone is looking out for me. Ebay certainly isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 I just reported this to Ebay. Here's the email I got back: "Thank you for writing eBay's SafeHarbor Department about a current listing you would like us to investigate for fraudulent activity. We are concerned about this type of activity and want to assure you that we will review your report as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours. Due to privacy concerns, we will not keep you informed about the status of our investigation.

titsataki Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 LOL an 02 STi would lok like the bug eye Impreza. :) A bit irrelevant but I as well may be going for a 04 STi within the next 2 weeks. I will take test drives this weekend. Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I still find that add funny as hell. Do note the dash is in metric though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 It's probably Canadian because of the metrics and non-HID headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kage Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Note that it's an Automatic tranny above, then a 6 speed below. Hmm, a 2.5 Litre engine that only displaces 1994cc - someone's definitely mathematically challenged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 The 04 STi that was on Ebay for a measly $14,000 was much more humorous. It had a V-8 and leather interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotmfk Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 lol... all of those listings sound hilarious. I would never buy a car from ebay!!! Sell one... that's a different story. I sold my 92 3000GT VR-4 on ebay this past fall. It had unknown engine problems, and I clearly stated so in the ad numerous times. The bidding went MUCH higher than a car with such problems should have gone! lol I was thinking I might get $2000 for the car and ended up getting JUST under $6000 at $594x. Even better: The guy called from Boston, Mass. saying he wanted to pick it up from me in VA! I told him again that the engine wouldn't make it. Sure enough, that weekend, he flew down, paid me, and took the car. I am curious to know if he made the drive home... but I'm not going to call and find out!!! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Not everyone is so smart. Oh well, if they're stupid enough to overlook those facts, then that's their problem. We have common sense, it's just a matter if people use it or not. As I say, common sense isn't so common. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
