Problem you may have with auctions is there is usually a disclaimer saying you must personally check the vehicle details as once you've bid and won it's yours no matter what.
If it's a GX it won't have front spotties, one of the first giveaways.

Yeah it definately doesn't have fog lights..
So that's basically proven? Definately a gx?

Sounds like it

pictures might help

Pickles description is usually based on the info given to them from the finance company or the insurance company selling the car. The vehicle may have been insured or financed as a Heritage quite easily with most of the information about the car's specs given and taken over the phone by people at both ends of the conversation with bugger all clues.

As stated above, verify the car and the specs before bidding. It's always a risk buying at auction, that's why the prices (in general) are lower.

Also any Suabru (possibly other makes) bought at auction is not covered by new car warranty regardless of age. It's Subaru's policy to exclude cars purchased at auction. I fail to understand why they exclude, but they do.

I went back yesterday to check out the car, and it did indeed turn out to be the GX model.. And with a little bit of reluctance on their behalf, i got my deposit back..

Thank you for all your help!

Good result..... about time common sense prevailed for once and you didnt get raped over the coals in the process.....

Very lucky that time mate, next time be exactly sure about what your buying.
