    STI with low mileage for 4500...it is not showing now as I called the crook out.

    :<here is his response, guys do not buy into this SCAM>:

    Hello
    I will need to take some extra time off from work over the sick-leave I'm currently in, to finish this transaction I am now working in Canada for 3 months and this transaction will take some time (4-5 days) because I need to come back in US; the car is at my home from there in Manasquan, NJ, locked in the garage. I don't want to sound rude or anything, but to be sure that I don't come back for nothing in the states and that you are going to buy it for sure and you have the money to do this, my proposal is to use the Vehicle Purchase Protection Program offered by eBay Inc. They handle all the paperwork and collection of selling price, and will hold the payment until you verify the 2004 Impreza WRX STI is as described and want to keep it. I have already enrolled and paid all the necessary fees. To begin the transaction I'll need your full name and shipping address.

    Thank you very much, Kevin

    PS: If you are interested, I will give you a list of upgrades!

    when i was selling my truck the guy told me to give him my address so he could send me a check, yes i know if was stupid but its hard to say no to someone when they are waving a 12500 check in my face. i mean he didnt want to come look at the truck or anything. So i got a little weary and told him to call me or give me a number to call him on and he wouldnt. so i called him out and i never heard from him. the guys got my name and address which kinda sucks, its my own fault for giving it out. im just a little more awake when i fall asleep these days. tho anyone can find your address out, i still feel like an idiot for making it so easy. moral of the story dont give someone a address of where you are selling the vehicle cause there prob. going to come try and jack it.
