sorry for the spelling mistakes guys

 

any one pls

 

Smell of oil isn't good on any car. AFAIK it's never been a design feature of Subarus LOL

If he's driving it hard on a test drive, what sort of a life do you think it's had so far? Walk away!

 

well i have heard that turbo is very close to the driver seat its like right infront of the driver seat and you smell some thing burning when you put the heater on??? is that true

 

Hi if you need help on wether the car is a genuine sti or not you can email me on dvd.man@btinternet.com if you can supply me with the applied model code, option code and engine and transmission numbers which can be found on the vin tag i can confirm what model it was when it left the factory in japan.

You shouldnt smell anything burning, what model is it being sold as? (version 2/3/4 etc or reg) a little more info on what your looking for would help or what your looking at even
