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.

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

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.

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.

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”
