I guess the previous owner thinks it looks great..............and presume the buyer if there is one will also think so or re-spray it.

I do like the print at the bottom

quote- "because once it leaves our premises the vehicle becomes your sole responsibility……"

Really builds confidence and obviously make their own laws up regardless of what rights you do have.

Simply says AVOID to me

Agreed, if a trader, a 3month warranty is a legal requirement.

People say a lot about the yanks and their paint jobs, but at least the vast majority are done really well....the person who did that to the OP's post should be made to do time.

One way to combat the dodgy 'warranty' issue - pay by PayPal - all paypal transactions are now covered by 180 day money back guarantee, so in essence, ebay and paypal are 'renting' your item to someone, in 179 days they can open an item not described claim and PayPal will force you to return the money when the item comes back to you!

Quite fast for an STI too, 12.7 with 450bhp, even though I did a 12.6 in a WRX with 333bhp. (what do you say Tom, I'll never beat a 450bhp STI? LMFAO.)

although he has ruined it slightly he has basically just painted the scoop and fog cover surrounds so all in all easy to put right.

i agree but sadly this is the way old subarus go nowadays.

put some stickers on it, paint something a silly colour.

the general facebook page/sioc excuse is so it stands out,looks different to all the others....blah blah

basically its due to lack of money and knowledge to do anything other than stick **** to it.
