The first one with the smaller spoiler. First of all, he makes a point of service history, it has more “fruit” with it and looks like it’s been cared for despite the clear coat shenanigans on the roof (looks can be deceiving).

Secondly, the STI spoilered WRX has an Apexi AVCR. 15 years ago everyone thought they could play around with the settings and bump the boost up a bit and blah blah blah, but if you know anything about Dok Doks, it’s that they DOK when fed too much boost. AT A MINIMUM, take it to a reputable Subaru specialist and get it compression and leak down tested and get them to do a prepurchase inspection to check for gremlins (like by the folk at STechnik). Since the first car has been getting serviced there, they should have notes on it already. If they won’t play ball and let you get it inspected there, run away.
