Craigslist

 

hahaha I saw that SPECIFIC one this morning and had an iffy feeling about it.

guess my spidey senses still work

 

Same car?

 

looks like it

 

same pics, different prices and different names.

I bet the cl guy just used those pics randomly, since he says "real pictures coming soon"

 

same mileage on the car (the craigslist guy could be lying). The price is different by the OP in the i-club post, but has already dropped it to 16.5k on the day after he posted.

Looks like the pics were taken in Colorado, I am not familiar with that scenery in Shingle Springs and I grew up in the area. Only get snow up there once in a while, and I am pretty sure there is no snow up there now.

then there is this - Subaru WRX STI Invida Turbo Back Exhaust - Shingle Springs, CA - $500

the seller was also selling a 04 STi with a salvaged title on iclub as well.

All the posts go by the name Kyle, the link to the old craigslist ad has the name Kyle, but the same phone number as the new craigslist ad for the WRX but the name Aaron.

 

just found this, it correlates with the old craigslist ad with the same item for sale

STUPIDCHICKEN GET IN HERE BRO

 

haha

 

Yea, he claims it to be clean title until subieman22 called him out on it.

 

hah there no point in hiding...it clearly states whether its salvaged or clean on the title..

 

So is the title effectively "washed"? Meaning it doesn't say "SALVAGE" on the title but there's an accident reported in which they totalled the car? I'm just curious at this point: I've heard of this being done, but never seen it in person.

 

I know people who used to do this with motorcycles. Pick up a bike that has a salvage title reg it in florida then re reg it here in cali and wala clean title and bikes value goes up. Most of the time they did it with bikes that would have a small dent in the frame from a high side incident. The method prob works the same for a car. but with all the carfax stuff i wonder how easy it is to do now.

 

Carfax doesn't always tell the whole truth. I had a truck that got in accident, Got all the repairs done through my insurance. Few years later I go to sell it, got a Carfax for the buyer and the only thing that shows up are title transfers and one maintenance repair. I just bought a used WRX from my wife's dealership, got the car fax and it shows clean, no accidents. My brother in law who has been in the body shop business for 30 years see's my car and notices that car had been worked on before.

 

That's good to know, Carfax is not as accurate as they claim it to be.
