Well, clearly they don't.

They have advertised this car as a Spec C Type RA, on me pointing out to them it is just in fact a Spec C they politely informed me that "all Spec C's are RA's".

If anybody's thinking of looking at this car, it's a £12-13k car not a £17k one.

 

Personally I think you've got some cheek suggesting that such a prestigious well respected dealer has got it wrong.

 

It may have been a few years ago...that's a £15k car now IMO, my blob is around that price...but I agree with you about the RA...there was another well know importer selling MY03's as Spec-c RA's too!!

 

what's the difference between a Spec C and a Spec C RA?

 

Different badging, different wheels, different colour centre console, a whole host of suspension upgrades, less made. A lot more on top.

 

Just pop the boot , no floor brace Mr , your false advertising

 

Both versions are lightweight, more focussed versions of the STI, better equipped to deal with hard driving.

The Spec C to drive is rawer than the regular STI and feels more wired.

The RA takes it further and sounds like a skeleton wanking in a biscuit tin in the cabin above about 50mph.

I think it's very disappointing that we never officially saw Spec C cars in the UK.

 

Careful, they will sue you! I guarantee that they will threaten legal action unless you remove the post! Please please please post the message they send if they do!

 

I'd larf if they did

 

They've just emailed me a question on what is the difference between a Spec C and a RA, I've sent them a link to this thread.

 

You are right, although I've had both, I think the 22B I had inbetween was the rawest of the 3.

 

We all know they are con men,
if you spend 15k on an Impreza you should know what you are buying,if you get duped by these lying clowns it's your own fault.

 

How long until the mods get worried about being sued and the thread gets wiped......???

 

I don't see a problem,it's factual and proves they are liars.

 

I don't think they are liars, just not knowledgeable.

 

Surely a garage selling such cars and the amount of cars they sell should be researching the actual cars before advertising them.
I wouldn't want to part with a large sum of money if the person I was buying it from didn't really know what he was selling.

 

if they read this thread then they know full well what they have

 

What's the difference?

They are selling cars for a living. Isn't it their responsibility to know what they are selling?

And yes, they are liars and has been proven several times on here recently.

 

The Spec-c and Spec-c RA both use the same applied model code, but plenty of differences between the two, easy way to spot it is pink lateral arms, pink trailing arms, pink springs etc...

 

They are going to amend the advert, wonder if they amend the price?

 

"A skeleton wanking in a biscuit tin' made me laugh my *** off

 

What a wonderful analogy

 

Made me chuckle too.

 

Reading that made me properly laugh out loud, Really hope I come across a situation soon where I can use that line

 

Just remember that Clives Performance ARE Liars, based on Angels thread (which they have now silenced - think a little under the table exchange of pound notes happened) where they bought back a car they fraudulently sold to him, and then readvertised it as the car they know it was'nt.

 

Advert amended but price still ott lol

 

This.


Says all you need to know about the company.

 

They still mention Ra in advert and that price is a joke! These are obviously a bunch of clowns trying to rip the unwary off,,,

 

as said earlier, if you are after a 15k impreza you should know what you are looking for.

you cant blame them for trying it on there are plenty of thick impreza owners out there just join sioc and see.

 

I know you like a bit of banter Fat Thomas, but not everyone is clued up on all the different Subaru marques. So does that mean someone who buys this off them deserves to be ripped off because there not clued up enough, really sad way at looking at things!!
