That wouldn't really qualify it to be "limited edition". They're fairly common. You have a lot of varying body damage all around the vehicle also. And its high mileage for that gen DOHC engine.

Thanks for your input when I purchased the vehicle (at Subaru) they specified the vehicle was 'Limited Edition' due to the limited inventory released of its specific type. I guess you have your definition of 'Limited Edition' and Subaru have there's. Are you giving me your feedback because you are interested in purchasing it?

Cheers!

The official "Limited" trim as officially indicated by Subaru is actually the same one he's talking about.

What you've come up with is a piggy back term some salesman told you, that has nothing to do with that, and is in none of the documentation or paperwork for your car.

I am not interested in your car, just wanted to laugh at yet another attempt at bloating the price of a beat up old car for no other reason than it's limited sales figures.

But if people are silly enough to pay, why not right?

Good luck with sale.

G-Day Vladi, thanks for your input. Yeah, I can only go by what the dealership relayed to me when purchasing the vehicle. In all honesty I would take what the official dealership said to me over a non-Subaru employee; but I do wholly appreciate your feedback. In addition if you don't have anything constructive to say other than jeer then you are also welcome to keep it moving

Hopefully whomever bought the car didnt pay asking price. I used to pass by it occasionally going to my parent's place and its not the greatest example.
