"Life circumstances have changed," the seller wrote, without elaborating. The car has 47 miles on it since purchase. The seller has already written a 3,000-word listing.
A 2006 Subaru WRX STI listed on Bring The Bids this week carries a seller note that has generated significant discussion in the enthusiast community: "Life circumstances have changed and I find myself reluctantly parting with this incredible machine."
The car was purchased six days ago. It has 47 miles on it since acquisition, 34 of which were accrued during the drive home from the previous seller's house.
The listing, which runs to 3,100 words, describes the vehicle's history in detail up until last Tuesday, at which point the narrative becomes somewhat vague.
"I've had some incredible moments with this car," the seller writes, without specifying what those moments were or when they occurred, given the 47-mile odometer reading.
When asked in the comments what "life circumstances" had changed, the seller responded: "It's complicated." He did not elaborate. The comment received 34 sympathetic replies.
The car is listed at $42,500, representing a $3,000 premium over the seller's purchase price from six days ago. The seller describes this as "fair given the current market."
