Im thinking about purchasing this STI and want your opinion on it. is it worth the price and the deal or should i just keep looking? i really want the black on gold look and am willing to pay a little extra for that. The thing that bothers me about the car is the odometer for some reason doesnt match and the guy told me that the car was broken into and the guage cluster was jacked and replaced at the dealer but the dealer couldnt progam it with the current milage. Another thing is that i ran carfax on the car and its registered to the 3rd owner right now. It also couldnt pass smog at 9,000miles and then 3000 miles later it did...so comment away... http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/car/148962069.html ...thanx

 

If it has "never been modified or raced", why couldn't it pass smog?

 

yea seriously man, why couldnt it pass smog?


"The car is 100% original and has never been modified or raced. "
all original except for the instrument gauge
usually when people say "modified or raced" theyre full of **** unless its some really old person lol


either way it seems sketchy....but go with this deal, its a much better one lol

Uh, just a little shady.

 

if you had the finances would you buy it? i mean what would you do in my position..just pass it off or go for it..?

 

I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole, after seeing that CarFax.

If it looks like ****, and it smells like ****, it's probably ****.

 

lol...thanx...thats what i wanted to know...

 

agreed!

 

me either, id never buy a car that smelled like asterisks and IS asterisks! but thats just me

 

Agreed...

On another note, I would never pay high dollar and probably would not even buy a late model, used, forced induction car unless I was 100% sure of the car's history.
