Ive heard alot of guys are not happy with buying cars or parts off crowe sport.

They have a few really neat subarus there.
One is a Legacy ute and the other is the forester engined Justy race car.
Speculating that the car was modified or anything else is missing the point. I replied in the other thread. This car is a basic spec Japanese Version E, and they come with no ABS or cruise as standard. It's not modified.

Steve is correct when he says it is not a low spec car. What you see here is a low as it gets. No ABS, no cruise, no sunroof. When ordering your Version E you could spec it up for a price. If memory serves you could add driver's airbag, sunroof, leather, air purification filter. But even in base spec they had all electrics and aircon, so they were far from poverty spec.

The only unlikeable Japanese spec car [IMO ] was the S3 which came in round 94, same time as the US got the 2wd cars. The interiors had cloth seats, low quality ecsaine on the dash, grey plastic instead of faux wood, and serious items like LSD were deleted. No way would I ever buy one of them, even if I am an SVX fool. Nobody likes them, so they kind of have to give them away or crush them in Japan.

The S4 on the other hand, totally different kettle of fish. Now that's a really nice SVX! I might get me one of those, yet.
