yup, the salesman. i'll check the icbc record before i put any money down of course..
the funny thing is, they have a 51k car there that's worth 27k, and this car, which is 56k. It's worth 26k. Is that funny at all?

thousand bucks for a 5,000 difference in mileage? or at least that's what the dude said. the condition is "excellent" :)

ya do yourself a favor and dont take anything the sales guy says seriously... check for yourself and then YOU decide if its excellent or not (keeping in mind that before displaying the cars, they go through a inside/out cleaning, so check out the engine bay, check carpeting/seats for any signs of damage, and listen for any wierd sounds that you might hear while its running/idling. btw i think its normal for the wrx (or any other car with a boxer engine) to 'shake' a LITTLE when idling due to the opposing pistons.. correct me if im wrong. Also double check to make sure the tranny fluids 'smell right' and that the engine oil is relatively clean, it gives you an idea of how well the previous owner took care of the car (tranny fluid should be fine though due to kms.. i think)
