This is an honest deal.

This car is for those who aren't so concerned with the exrerior. There is writing in a permanent marker which I will paint over with spray paint before selling (this will be the second time I've done this).
150,000 miles, quality condition.
The clutch is starting to get somewhat weak so, in all honesty, it will probably cost you $700 within the next year; that's simply the way cars are.
Broken rearview mirror, newer brakes, fuel gage is off, windsheild wiper fluid does not work, quality interior, cd/quality speakers, new tires (nice-all terain), mechanically sound, blinkers do not work but hazards do, cigarette lighter might not work.
The broken rear-view mirror and blinkers are the main things needed currently, but it's interesting the way it does not need anything to get you around at this point.
Call Daniel at 000-xxxx. The steering wheel says "owned and controlled by rightness" and that aspect of the car should always reamin, no matter what; I pray that aspect will remain part of the car. There is nothing legal about it, I'm sure, and you can remove it if you want, but the car will hopefully always belong to rightness; the legal document will state you own the car though. (Great car for younger people or those without a high income).
Here is a link with a video which shows what the car looks like http://video.xanga.com/What91365
I require cash in full including the 15 cents. You'd better believe I care about 15 cents, and you'd better all the more believe that I care about you and all, all the more. Take care and bles you and bles all!!!!....

He is BACK! Been posting the car on the local CL for the past few days. He keeps getting flagged as SPAM. Now he is pissed.. I am leaving the phone number in there this time. I did reply to his ad with another local ad. Stating that he need to take his meds. I even posted his pictures for him as he seems to be havin g trouble figuring out how. My mailbox should be an interesting read in the next few days....

Remember - It's the EVIL corporations man!

It runs. Quality deal. I have title. Please call me (Daniel) at 262-1363. Corporations can only pretend to be scary, trust me.

FOR SALE: 2002 HONDA S2000, Black,Black Wheels, Leather, 90k,
SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY!

~~~Air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, keyless remote entry, and tilt steering are all standard. 0 to 60 mph in just 5.8 seconds and the standing quarter-mile in just 14.4 seconds, according to Car and Driver magazine. That's quick. The S2000 is capable of 150 mph at the top end. 3.0 L VTEC SYSTEM (only made a few of these kind), The engine doesn't really come to life until the tachometer soars beyond the point where most en-gines run out of breath.~~~

This car has been well maintained and is in luxury condition. Call me to come take a look....PRICE IS FIRM NO TRADES!!

Also of note, S2000's don't have tilt steering and wtf is 'luxury condition'?

Edit: http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/ctd/963331941.html - I originally posted this car in this thread on February 9th (it's on page 8). Good news! They've dropped the price by $2,000 since then!

Tough Guy posted:

For sale - Klipsch, Denon, and other audio and home theater audio equipment. All remote and manuals included.

Here's the story - I was very in to my audio equipment and bought all this stuff when it first became available on the market. Then I got married and moved. My new bride didn't particularly appreciate the incredible experience provided by this system and instead focued on the size of the speakers and how they didn't match her new drapes.

So this stuff went into storage for 5 years. I (wrongly) fantasized about having a basement man room someday. Well, we just moved again and we've got a kid on the way. It's pretty clear now that the man room is going to be a play room. Alas, it looks like have to finally let go of that dream.

So, in all, I shelled aout over $3500 for this stuff. No, it's not new, but it is all in terrific working order. If you love high-end sound, this is an incredible system at an incredible discount. 80% off what I paid. I'll even throw in a 21" Sony Microblack TV and some high end cables if you don't insult me by haggling.

Finally, some admin items. I've had some interesting experiences with craigslist. I love it overall, but folks, some of you really are, well, interesting. So if you'll forgive the directness, a few requests:

- If you have no intention of shelling out $500 for this stuff, do not contact me. Please let's respect each others' time.

- If we set up a time to meet, please show up when you say you will.

- If you show up to meet, please do not look at my wife like she's a lamp chop. She is a lamb chop, but she's my lamb chop. The last jerk that couldn't help himself from helping himself spent a night in the hospital.

- If you show up to meet and you make an ill-informed attempt to "lift" anything of mine that you are not paying for, take note of the aforementioned gentleman's fate.

- I am a friendly, easy going guy who would love to do business with you.

System Details: -omitted-
