my buddy wants to buy this sti and the deal sounds kinda crooked to me so if anyone has unlimited carfax's then hit me up on AIM: fleaman2k

or just post here

 

If it sounds crooked, it is. And I would bet that more often than not, things don't show up on carfax.

Good luck.

What's the deal though?

 

carfax says it has 5 records on it, but i need to pay 20 bucks to see em

 

ah...maybe just different owners?

someone will come through

 

hopefully :-O

 

Post the vin

thanks a bunch, so this deal is that the car came from united states, went to the UK then the lady got the car in a divorce and wants to sell it to my friend for 7,000 dollars


it all sounds shady to me for an 03 sti

and he has to pay 2000 dollars shipping.

 

that sounds very shady to me, it seems like an ebay scam type where you send the money through western union ... just heads up and be a little cautious

 

I agree...scamish..big time. I've experienced the scam first hand (but in reverse) when I was selling my previous car. A potential buyer in "Europe" was very interested my car because of it's "rarity". They would be willing to pay $3000 over KBB and would pay to have it shipped out. They would send a check (fake) for the above amount and I would ship the car out. They even listed a name...so I Googled the name and over 100 leads came up...all consumer alerts..."be aware of John Doe so and so" and what not. Maybe this car is the result of someone in Washington actually falling for the scam (e.g: sent the STi to Europe, got a check, and two weeks later found that the check was bogus...minus 1, '04 STi)...or maybe not...I would forget about it.
