Default Ebay Subie

I'm looking at this auction item on this Subie, and I see a lot of STi this and that.. How hard is it to change a regular WRX inst. cluster to what appears to be a STi inst. cluster , and the red illum. on the stereo? Also, they say there is a 2.5 L motor in there, but I don't see it.

I would have a lot of questions about that car if I was buying it.

I would agree that I'd have plenty of questions also.. I was on Ebay looking, and I came across this listing.. Seems a little odd unless they have this car confused with another one?

at the bottom of the page it says it has the 2.0. is that a good price for an 03?

I would think this is a decent price for an '03. I see this in the listing also: "The below table shows standard features for a vehicle of this year, make, and model. Options may differ from this particular vehicle; please see the Extra Options list at the bottom for any options specific to this vehicle. " Also seems like there either making this car "something more" to catch your attention or it's a misleading listing.. Something doesn't look right with the front clip of the car. Very visible gap issues on this one..

Who knows how many miles are on it? I doubt he had that Odometer sent out to match his OEM one.

I just thought this was an interesting listing with some interesting mods.. Who knows this "could" be a true JDM imported STI for the year that it was made. I seriously doubt it, but a laugh nonetheless..

Its left hand drive, definately not a JDM import.
