Unfortunate story that I guess could of been me.

Been looking for months for a MY99 and eventually bought one for $7400. Totally stock which was what I was after.

Still in the back of mind I was always thinking of big mechanical issues with the car so
straight up I forked out $300 to get the vehicle inspected.

Not sure if it's just paranoia but even now I sometimes think that problems could happen with the car.

I guess thats the gamble when buying second hand.

Hopefully everything gets sorted with the car and you can look forward to driving your newly purchased wrx.

Good luck!
