If I understand correctly, the seller thinks it's salvage because it's modified?
Assuming everything's alright, you get a wrx for 2800

Not a wrx, just an Impreza.

EDIT: THIS IS STARTING TO SMELL A LITTLE SCAMMY

seller gives a phone number to call that traces back to an antivaxxer trucker organizer

I mean the phone number matches the fb profile of the seller too with the "f*ck trudeau" cover photo and accompanying political posts.

It could be real. 200,000km, US car, not much details. If it needs an engine, which seems likely at this km, its $15k to $20k to start.

Not sure if it qualifies as a " good buy"

160,000 kms / clean title
1.6 4A engine
Rebuilt carburetor
Good running condition
Front wheel drive
Rear trunk shocks doesn't support well.
$5500obo

68style 03-01-2022 09:57 AM

That car is very confused about its identity and isn't even worth 20% of the ask

bcrdukes 03-01-2022 10:12 AM

Oh my goodness... :heckno:

EvoFire 03-01-2022 10:29 AM

It shouldn't be in the good buys thread, but instead the CL fail thread.

jpark 03-01-2022 12:01 PM

320icar 03-01-2022 12:26 PM

trollface 03-01-2022 12:50 PM

the sellers name also matches a real linkedin profile for a non profit.

if you're going to dig - dig all the way.

I still don't know if it's real, but I'm somewhat intrigued by an ad that confuses my scam radar.

impreza_scott 03-01-2022 03:23 PM

How does being an antivaxxer trucker make it scammy?

Ad looks like it check out, mileage is high for what it is.

That wasn't what was being linked to it being a scam...

Almost no description + the telephone number on google search being attached to an antivax trucker organization was what was making people think it's a scam.

Sensing a trend here

320icar 03-02-2022 09:22 AM

Maybe someone clever trying to bring the market lower. They didn’t foresee the conversation

“Why are you asking 45k? There’s a bunch on Craigslist for 32”

“Then go buy those ones”
