VIN won't tell a dealer what it is - we only get the Jap system and what they call them, not what Inchape/Subaru Australia want to sell them as. Headlights make it look like an MY07 (chrome inside, 06 are grey) but tailights are MY06 (grey). Interior is throwing me, dual range, auto climate, seats are 2.0i (2.0R had WRX one piece). I'll say some sort of 2.0i run out model.

agree 2.0i  , same interior as a mates 2005 hawkeye sedan 2.0i

It's actually a 2005 MY06 build. So one of the very first ones built. Doubt that means it's a 'run out'?

[bobbyjimmy]

Well it's abitsa then - random crap all over it. Been in a decent smash?

[Morgan]

Nah we did a full check before we bought it. Nothing came up.

I've heard about that headlight thing before grey/chrome = MY06/MY07 respectively.

 

Most of the CarSales ads must be incorrectly edited... They're all mixed up!

im pretty sure the base model hawk eyes dont have those side skirts or any real side skirt for that matter. e.g.

[Morgan]

True! Ours has skirts!

Looks like a bitsa/runout/introduction model. Slapped together with whatever is left at the factory.

[Morgan]

Do they do that with introduction models?

If this was the timing cover, would it have variable valve timing or not?

Look up on redbook?
Redbook should give an example vin and you can compare this to your vin.

[Jordan]

Didn't a car history report tell you which model it is?

It's SOHC - so not variable.

Just the asthmatic EJ201. 

[Morgan]

There was the 2.0i and 2.0r in this model

[bobbyjimmy]

2.0R are DOHC variable (EJ204).
