I feel like they recently bought it and at that time didnt know what they were getting, thats for sure.
It’s like they bought it, then took it to a mechanic (friend) who then told them what a poor decision it was.

I understand that that is a legitimate use of the @ symbol but I do not agree with it.

I mean I’ve seen rolling shells listed for that amount before so it’s actually not a bad price. It might be a pile but $2k asking means it’s a $1500 car at best and as long as the engine is fixable and it's not rusty , it’s not a bad deal for a bugeye.

The list of things actually wrong is pretty short. It will never be a factory fresh car, but it could still be a whole lot of fun. A lot of the parts aren’t even WRX specific. I would go over the entire car with a wrench and to check for missing bolts, that’s the only part that would be potentially scary.

Still road registered. Still sees more road time than track. Absolutely awful to live with and won’t pass roadworthy inspection.

Weight saving Yo! It's not like the wheel will fall off if I put one less lug nut on right? Just think of the weight savings.
