A stolen blue Subaru that appeared on television last week as its driver led police on a chase around the Eastside is now for sale on eBay.

I can't believe that 30 people would bid on it and that someone is willing to pay over 5000 for it! It's kinda cool knowing it was in a car chase, but it looks like it was really smashed up. I wouldn't pay that much for it, but I forgot about the huge screwdriver, so that makes it worth it! :-)

yeah, i saw that on fox news. i cried.

ROFLMAO!

 

Whenever I see somebody like Bill O'Reily or Sean Hannity on TV, I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry!

"Fair and balanced" About as fair as a meter maid, and as balanced as Charles Manson.

 

If you spend more time trying to convince people you are fair and balanced then you do on the news, maybe its time to re-evaluate your priorities.

 

 

BTW, this is the 5th "the SVX in the police chase is on ebay" thread

Looks like he;'s doing it just to try and raise money to get his dad a new car, since the insurance is stiffing them or something...

ok ladies, that's enough. let's not get this moved to off-topic.

 

this site's about cars not politics.

Of course he is; the insurance company was only going to give him $3500 for it.

i wonder why they wouldn't give him near bluebook for it?

Who mentioned politics? :-) There are a lot of things to be fair and balanced about.

Back on topic: I understand people trying to help this guy out, but take that money and buy yourself an SVX that isn't trashed! Maybe I'm just jealous that I don't have $5k to throw around. ($5k being the current bid last I checked)

the only thing to be biased about in news is politics. Come on, you guys have CNN, CNN Headline, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and MTV. Stop complaning about one channel that may be biased away from your views and the views of the other channels.

 

but yes...back on topic: i agree. 5k to throw away on a trashed car that was on tv for 5 seconds and will be forgotten about in 3 more days if not already would be nice to have.

Did you see the high bidder? robbinandmaynard; I don't know for sure, but Robbin and Maynard are a couple of morning radio show jockeys here in Seattle. I wonder if they're involved in this for the publicity of it.

i wouldn't doubt it.

How do we know that the car being sold is the real deal? Could be a scam. Some guy has the same make and model car, gets it smashed up and then tries to sell it for some bucks and makes up a story about it being the chase vehicle and the insurance company not giving them enough money for it. I went to the ebay listing the other day and only saw news pics of the vehicle....no close ups of what it looks like now. How do we 'know' that the car in the chase is the one on sale??

Car was serviced locally by the same shop I use and the stolen car was a customer's of theirs. Shop owner confirmed to me that the two cars (video and ebay) were the same.

I'm glad it looks like they're going to be getting some money back out of a painful ordeal. It's not their fault that the car was stolen, or that people are willing to bid it up more than it's worth.

 

They do seem to have a really strange taste in music though.

not everyone's out to get you. you could check the public records of the liscence plate of the stolen car and ask the seller ifit matched. might even be able to do it with the VIN

Apparently Robbin and Maynard withdrew their bid. Dropped the amount from $5000 back to $2350!

So did I.

 

The owner was on the news saying her son (I think) had put it on ebay. Repairs on that car's gonna be costly....
