Default Not Amulet, but close...mine is Tornado Red.

Amulet is just a hair darker, IIRC...odds are 9 out of 10 people can't tell the difference.

See my picture poster (click the signature pictures below) for more. Also, check out paintscratch.com for comparisons of Amulet (LY3C) versus Tornado (LY3D).

Default Is that the 4.2 that has been at Patrick Subaru?

I went to look at it when it came in and before I bought my car - it was in such beat to crap condition that I wouldn't even give it a drive. I know how well a car can clean up, but I'd stay away - it was seriously unloved on arrival. :-(

Default Oh believe me, I picked that thing apart, which is why the guy frmo NY passed...

Quite a few rock chips in front, a few scratches along the side, a stain in the headliner, the rear bumper (where is met the left wheel well) had a broken tab, the steering wheel had seriously faded leather, all 4 wheels had curb rash, etc. etc. etc.

However, despite the things I listed, the PRICE was certainly a good one. I think for the price they were asking, I would have bought it for myself if I did not already have mine))

Default Heh, you're up eh? I gotta say the wheels are getting me much more interested

in screwing this car up! :-)I've messed with most every car I've had and it looks like this one will be no exception.

Default Yes, I'm just putting the final touches to the taxes...

and we owe quite a bit, so looks like we'll be mailing on Saturday...damn severance package did not withhold enough federal taxes...they held abck the wrong rate....idiots! Well, at least I got an interest-free loan from the Federal Gov't for a few months!!!

:PPP

Can't wait to see your car again! Looked soooo nice the last time, and you did not yet have those wheels!!!

Default Lots of people say that you can fix the cosmetic stuff - but a car that looks like that

is screaming of an owner that wouldn't even bother to drive it through a car wash.

I went out to look at it two days after they got it in Feb. They were sure it would sell in a week and had no interest in coming off their price. I was walking around the car pointing out how f'd up it was and the salesguy was mocking me saying no one else would ever care about those things. He was also insisting they'd just taken it on trade, but the missing grille in front of the tow hooks said "I'm a big sleazy liar" Nice sales approach ;-p
