GarageScout Take

Dark Gray Metallic is uncommon among observed examples, and the 2019 replacement of the short block with an IAG forged-internals unit, supported by parts receipts, anchors an extensive build with GT35R turbo hardware, Cobb fuel and ECU components, air suspension, and an MntRider widebody on WORK wheels.

Strengths

  • The VA-generation WRX STI was introduced as a standalone model for 2015, with production ending in 2021.
  • The 2019 engine short-block replacement is documented in the service history, with supporting parts receipts included.
  • The Subaru has been registered in California since new, with no mileage discrepancies during the documented Carfax periods.

Watch For

  • The Carfax report records moderate damage to the left front, front, and right front in February 2017.
  • The Carfax report has a reporting gap from 2018 through 2022.
  • The extensive modifications make it ineligible for sale and registration in California and may prevent emissions compliance in some other states
  • The listing documents exterior chips, scuffs, scratches, cracked bumper paint, front-lip scrapes, weathered paint
