'Steven York' wrote me back and had this to say:
Hello,

Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in Scotland (United Kingdom) right now and I have been very busy. Anyway, thank you for your interest in buying the 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI .The car is located in United States right now. Why is the price so low?I am going trough a divorce, and I had to move out of USA.So all that I want to do now is to sell the car at this price, because I need to sell it fast.The title is clean. The car has 33,367 miles.It is in immaculate condition, rust free, no scratch at all and hasn't been involved in any accident. The motor runs very well. The interior looks great. This car needs nothing. I want this transaction to go smoothly enough as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and have little time to my disposal. I already have tones of emails so I hope you understand that I need to sort them out. The price is $4,000.00. THIS IS MY LAST PRICE.I will not negotiate the price. Also, I take in consideration only those buyers who are really interested in buying the car, to be sure that I don't waste my time with endless discussions. This way, I shall be assured of the serious intentions.

VIN-JF1GD70696L503975
Exterior Color White
Interior Color Blue
Engine-4 Cylinder Turbo
Transmission-6 Speed Manual
Drive Type-AWD
Fuel Type-Gasoline

I still say he's a scammer....LAME STORY.

The latest from our STi Seller:

Hello,

I am sorry but the pick up and the test drive are not available because I am not in the country.As I told you in my first e-mail, I am in United Kingdom. Before leaving I had prearranged the deal with eBay Motors so my presence isn't necessary. The car is in United States at DAS Shipping Department, ready to be delivered. The shipping cost is included in the total price of the car! You have 5 days to test it and inspect the car.So if you want to make this deal I need the following details from you:
full name and address,shipping address,phone #
After I will have all this details I will forward them to eBay Motors and I will proceed the order. eBay Motors will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal and also to see that I am covered by them and that I am legit seller. Waiting your email with the requested details.

Regards

Hahahahaha - Who does this and who has time?

Aren't you protected if you pay with Paypal? Someone could actually be getting a crazy good deal.

Find out if he is the original owner.

I was thinking the same...but wouldn't you think he would sell it a little more than 4k? i mean $10,000 would still be an outstanding deal.

Just ask if he's the original owner. If he says he is he's lying.
