Seller is Jason Patrick of Patrick Subaru in Worcester (moving to Shrewsbury), MA. 10 miles away from me. With SOA's strict requirements, they might be risking being blacked out of allocations of STi's for 6 months if caught. In any case, it's pretty sleezy to put the car up on ebay rather than offering to some loyal customer.

my $0.02 worth.

AFAIK, MSRP is still a bit of a secret. Probably $33-$38K. The car that was listed on Ebay sold for $31K.

I hope they lose their asses on it.

These EBAY scumbags have been recently posting/offering all sorts of things from "our very first allotment" to "the privilege of buying the very STI's in the country" ooooh ooooh its JDM! oooh that must mean it can sell for another $6-$8k....lol...

I don't buy it. Something is fishy about this whole thing.

Why would someone sell an STI on EBAY for 31k IF the MSRP will be between 33-38k. The seller would have to be a fool. Here are possible explainations.

1. MSRP will be around 31k.
2. The whole thing is a hoax
3. The seller is a complete duffer.

Personally i dont thnk the MSRP will be ANYWHERE near 38k. If the above sale is real, and the seller knows what he is doing, the MSRP has to be around 31k. Period.

I suspect the seller doesn't know what he's doing. Even dealers have no idea what the MSRP will be yet. There's been plenty of speculation though. I think this guy thought he was going to get a bidding war that would drive the final price well into safe territory.

Terms of Sale

Within 48 hours of end of auction, winning bidder MUST submit a $5,000 non-refundable deposit.

Are these f-ing people on dope? I can walk into nearly any Subaru dealership tomorrow (well, on Monday actually) and put a $500 refundable deposit on an STi... Sheeit, they must be counting on some damn gullable folk out there on eBay.
