swc7916 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 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. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4581483986&fromMakeTrack=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetterFan Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 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! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he is; the insurance company was only going to give him $3500 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hklaine Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 ok ladies, that's enough. let's not get this moved to off-topic. this site's about cars not politics. Who mentioned politics? :-) There are a lot of things to be fair and balanced about. Their other motto: "We report, you decide" -Heikki (male) 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

edrach Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban Coyote Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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??

edrach Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky_pete Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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. http://feedback.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedbackFromSellers&userid=zachmalm&items=-1&item=-1&de=off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UC 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Apparently Robbin and Maynard withdrew their bid. Dropped the amount from $5000 back to $2350! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spazz698 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 yeah, i saw that on fox news. i cried. 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
