That's exactly why I asked. Either way it's a good deal but STI/WRX... huge difference. Even if the drive train is gone. For me to drive 3-4 hours out there in a suburban to look at it and 3-4 hours back PLUS rent a trailer, etc. That's a lot of money to throw away if it's not what's advertised. I asked the questions and the dude vanished. Irritates the crap out of me. I was VERY serious about picking this up. Oh well.

That was my main concerned. If I could repair it it'd be worth the trouble if it's an STI. As a WRX and NOT repairable it comes to the value of scrap metal and what I can sell off it as I'd only use the brakes and steering wheel. LOL. So it's a LOAD of time and effort not to mention the trailer rental and about $120 in gas... so the value drops a lot. I have a family and a lot of work to do. I charge $40-100 for my time so you start considering that and well... a little information would have gone a long way in me saying yes... I'll be there at 10am on Sat. LOL.
I hope whoever pulled the trigger on it is stoked. It's a great deal any way you look at it. There's an easy $2000 on that car as it sits. More if you have time.

Hey guys, sorry for the fracas this has caused - please don't throw me under the bus when the ACTUAL OWNER doesn't email or call you back. He's not a forum guy, so I really am just trying to help him out.
It DOES appear that it is a WRX, not an STi - I saw it one time when it was built up still and it had a full STi drivetrain and grille badge, so that's probably why I overlooked the rear fender/bumper differences.
I have bought and sold thousands of dollars worth of parts on this and other forums, and anyone who has dealt with me in person or otherwise will tell you I'm a stand-up dude. Its unfortunate that the owner of this car is not being super responsive, but I can't be held responsible for that and it bums me out that you folks are allowing this situation to reflect poorly on me. To reiterate, this is just me helping someone out, and I'm sorry that he is not communicating well. I have NO influence in that arena.
