Default $700 bucks for a new to me STi :)

So thought id twist some brains for a moment.

Currently working out the deal right now with a guy, and trying to get some shipping quotes. Because im planning on buying a new sti. and this is just a deal i cant refuse

First let me say this. it is NOT wrecked. it has a 100% straight frame, not a dent on it. Every single body panel is there and in perfect shape. No broken windows, The paint is in perfect shape for what you would exspect out of a 3 year old sti. and Even though its not pictured, it does include the tail lights, and STi wing. They were only removed for storage because of fear of possibly getting stolen.

So besides the fact it does not come with the standard BBS wheels. Any guesses why im only paying $700 bucks plus shipping from the East coast to the west coast?

And ill tell ya right now, dont say Blown motor Or busted drivetrain. Thats not the issue either




So entertain my late night bordem with your responses...
Enjoy

If it's a $700 car, you just have to wonder, why?

Wow that is a really good deal. Almost sounds impossible so i have come up with an almost impossible reason of it being so cheap. It was bought to be striped down and turned into a rally car but since subaru is backing out of the WRC it is now no longer needed and they are selling it dirt cheap.

believe me i wouldnt buy a stolen car haha. i have enough legal matters. this car is legit and comes with a title and all the legit paperwork... not being purchased from a police auction. its from a private party guy.

no rust. frame is in tip top shape. and it is titled as an STi. so no, its not an impreza set up.

the guy probably found a bad *** s10 blazer and decided his STI was junk and decided to get rid of it =P it's probably a roller? either that or you look good in a dress and he's a very sick individual.

I'm going to guess that alot of assembly is required, we can't see the front half of the car and you say that every body panel is there.

I am guessing for some reason the whole front end is dis mantled and you have to put it together.

now I'm enjoying this. It's random, but a modern day Christine-type thriller starring a subaru would be killer...literally and figureatively. But hmm, why would a car like that be soo cheap? Hmmm...front doghouse gone?
