Busted clutch, 219k miles, broken front bumper, busted cruise control, broken ABS.

Perfect, if I can get it for what I'm willing to pay.

Wow. You going to paint white racing stripes on yours too?

Is this a 2.2L?

IFF you haven't gotten a carfax within a few hours, let me know as I am about to get a 'subscription' as I have a few VINs to run.

What, does someone else have one of these? I haven't seen one around.

Well, that car in the pic is mine. I just gotta go get it. I've never owned a hackmobile before

Actually I've never bought a car on ebay before, but 2.2 Imprezas seem to be pretty rare in NC, so I needed to go a little north.

Here's the auction. Don't laugh at what I paid! These cars seem to go for a lot of money!

I think you might need to go to the Betty Ford Clinic for Automotive Addictions.

Should be fast enough for FTD if it doesn't fall apart first (and hopefully it won't).

Let me know if you need any help working on stuff, Mike.

Got a 3.0 H6 laying around? :twisted:

It was part of a strategic (long term) plan to buy a car with really really high miles.

Except for a couple of cam seals and a squeaky brake caliper, it has never given me any problems. It did need the transmission replaced at 150K miles along with a rebuilt starter.

Yeah, I talked to the guy before I bid and he wasn't nearly as flakey as his description suggested

The car has had a lot of maintenance done, including KYB AGX shocks about 20k miles ago.

FWIW, I hate shopping for cars sight-unseen on ebay. It's really risky, so I'm considering this to be a $1175 experiment.

Well, I think a few of us are buying some 'higher milage' So4 cars recently (Keith Vail, me, you), so I think there are plenty of people who can help eachother out.

Regardless, I am more than willing to help with anything... even an engine swap.

Good luck, and welcome to the 'hack' community.

Yea, but I think he is looking for a car that can actually WIN.
