Is this STI the real deal?

I was wondering if I could get some feedback from the WRX experts on this forum. I have a 2015 V6 Mustang but am considering switching to a hawkeye STI because of two reasons:

1. Oregon is wet for the majority of the year and also has a lot of nice outdoor roads to explore. I think having an AWD vehicle would be great.
2. The hawkeye STI has kind of been one of my most-want vehicles for a while now.

I found a deal that seems too good to be true but am not sure:

This black STi is going for $17,000 with 42,000 miles. I know for a fact this price should be much higher, I have yet to call because they are closed but I am guessing it is a salvage.

There reviews for this place are mixed, some say great things and others do not but there are too little reviews to truly tell. What do you guys think?

The thing is, I will have a couple grand left if I sell my Mustang and could potentially use this money to cover anything wrong with the vehicle and make sure it is running properly. It would also cover a full-inspection if need be. Is it worth it? Thanks everybody for the help.

That's a suburb of Pittsburgh. Have the car go through a used car inspection at TPG Tuning (who are familiar with modified Subarus) and proceed from there. Make sure a compression/leakdown test are performed.

17k? Seems low.
When you can buy them at auction for $10-12K, flipping for $17K isn't bad.

Same VIN is listed on a STi for sale in Chicago: http://www.luxcarschicago.com/web/vehicle_photos/3939763/

It was also listed on eBay and sold for $10K back in May. The listing there says it has a "flood title". Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-Subaru...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Here is a link to the eBay AutoCheck report from back in May: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-Subaru...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Shows it had multiple sigificant issues including salvage title, unibody damage, flood damage, and multiple times through auto auctions.
