Talking Stevens Creek now does STI Swaps!!!

Ok so I'm posting my 01 RS on autotrader for sale right... ( unfortunately i dont have a link to shameless plug my own ad right now ) and I'm looking to see what other RS's are available in the area...well I come across an AWESOME deal at Steven's Creek for an 00 RS with a ver6 wing, ver 6 steering wheel, sti titanium shift ****, jdm tails, sti fog covers, old skool wrx decal on the trunk, and some awesome prodrive wheels. I think to myself "wow this guy was suckered into trade it, he could have parted that stuff out and made over 1500$ probably!" So I look at the description and see the following:

ok so i call up steven's creek a few minutes ago and spoke with dane or dana (claimed he was a manager) and I asked about the RS and wanted to do the sti swap on it. His first response "Why dont u just buy a wrx??" and i told him i prefer that body style and he rambled on and then asked if i wanted an STi, I told him i was looking at the car, and he said he didnt know how much it would cost, how long it would take, or what it would involve and said it was a case by case basis that they had parts laying around lol and the car was in and out the same day! I then got another call from Mike(internet manager apparently) at steven's creek and i asked him the same thing since he called me back after i hung up since i got the answering machine. He said that he didnt know anything about it, claimed he didnt post the ad, said it could be done since they were ASE certified and blah blah blah and subaru specialists and all that jazz lol. Way to go Steven's Creek, real bright people there Someone else needs to call them up and see what they tell u and post it lol 1-800-792-1693. If you hang up, theyll call u back in a few minutes like they did for me.

Hey hatteroo.

I've called Steven Creek Subaru on a few occassion and I think both times, I got an attitude from the two people that were talking to me. I don't know about their dealership. I think some of their used vehicles are on the pricey side. I think I saw a 2000 2.5RS for like $16K or something and I was thinking to myself, maybe I'll just get a WRX or something.

i honestly doubt that stevens creek subaru did that swap themselves... if anything, some guy traded it in for something better maybe at best.
