Is this just another dealership that knows absolutely nothing about cars, are they lying, or did someone really swap out the engine?

sounds like a retard dealer... no engine bay shots to back up the 2.5 claim ...

Yea, I sent Autostrada an email asking them if they were sure it wasn't the Jag V12 engine in there instead of the 2.5

yea wat was it? im intrigued now

It was a craigslist add from a used car lot in Bensalem (I think) called Autostrada.

The add was for a used 02 WRX "With fantastic AWD powered by a 2.5l turbo engine"

I was curious as to whether it was a swapped WRXer or they just didn't know what they were talking about. I called them out in an email, and shortly after the add was pulled.

They never know what they are selling. I am sure the last owner said it was a 2.5l and they just assumed he was right and listed it!

Its autostrada what did you expect, haha
Check out there reputation in some other threads, i would advise you to not buy a car from there unless you can get all the details on it and check it out really good.

Do Not Buy A Car From Autostrada

K-Rex · 01-31-2007, 12:09 AM

I was never planning on buying it, I wasn't even interested. I just puruse craigslist for deals and came upon it and was trying to figure out if they were selling a swapped 2.5 or they just don't know what hell they are talking about.

from what everyone is saying it seems they are just retarded.
