Run your hand under the spare wheel well. If it is bumpy it has sound deadening and is not an RA.
If it is smooth, no sound deadening, probably an RA.

In theory a true RA should only be able to be B-reg here.

Get the VIN from the VIN plate and check it against the VIN stamped on the firewall, it should reveal what it actually is.

Its a re-shell. Think someone asked the same question on FB and it was found to be a re-shell

looks like a neat car in general, what would it be worth as a GC8 in general disregarding the claims of RA.

the dude I think is genuinely surprised it isn't legit

essentially the same body as a wrx regardless, its not like it has to be cut & shut to install the rear diff like a lancer, i don't think that detracts from the price, still worth 5-7 grand imho

Center Diff replacement from a dealership for $500? Worth checking that out as well.
