Do you need help with this?

I am in sales and have all the NADA guides to see if you paid for an STi or a WRX.

If you bought an automatic, it is not an STi. Check your paperwork. If it says STi anywhere on it, then you may have a case.

I am sorry that the people on this forum were so rude to you. Most are nice people.

first things...HID's, brembo brakes, and of course a 6spd tranny...
everything else, like turbo, intake manifold, ic, trunk, gauge cluster, entire interior are parts that are often swapped into a wrx...
sorry but it sounds like you have a fake

I managed to talk to the general manager about the situation. He told me that particular salesman is a new guy there and had not told him to pass it off as a real STi. They claim it was a mistake on their part and that they will take the car back and cancel the deal. If they actually follow through with it I will be surprised and happy. The people being rude on here do have a point, I should have read up a lot more before buying it. For the others that were freindly thanks for the offers for help and the answers I was looking for. I was also told by the manager that the car was bought at a wholesale auction and they thought it was a good car, but found out its just an Imprezza with some junkyard parts added to make it look like a WRX. Anyway, it looks like my problem is over.

That's good they are working with you. Just for next time post up your questions/concerns BEFORE you buy your next car. Good luck.

Sounds like it could possibly have even been a RS.
