There's nothing that really stands out when you start reading this guy's ads. A bit overpriced on some of his cars, but what dealer isn't?

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ctd/1898647539.html is one of them.

But start scrolling down.. He goes on to explain that he named his business what he did because he's a big soccer fan. Okay, he sounds a little eccentric.

Then you see the last photo. It's Sam himself.


Click here for the full 640x480 image.


But don't worry... Sam says it's A-OK! And yes, he puts this same photo at the end of every ad he posts.

I think his hair gel is finding its way under the hood of a lot of his cars too, batteries are NOT supposed to be shiny. Going a bit overboard on the detailing...

Last time I saw a Geo Metro convertible, it was $2k. So getting 2 Metros for half that is kind of a deal, for the right buyer:

The convertible gearbox is the hot ticket for Metro speed (hah), its the closest ratio. It'd be a hell of a track upgrade for a Chevy Sprint Turbo-engined Metro or Swift.

DESERT AUTOSPORT IS VERY PLEASED TO BRING TO THE MARKETPLACE THIS 1999 FORD CROWN VICTORIA RACE CAR. THIS CROWN VICTORIA POLICE INTERCEPTOR(COBRA VIC)IS ONE OF EIGHTEEN CARS COMMISSIONED BY FORD AND BUILT BY ROUSH RACING FOR THE WORLD FAMOUS BOB BONDURANT SCHOOL OF HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVING. THIS IS NOT ONLY A UNIQUE AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE CAR BUT IS WHERE THE IDEA FOR THE MERCURY MARAUDER ORIGINATED. THE COBRA VIC'S WERE USED AS INSTRUCTOR CARS FOR THE SCHOOL AND ARE HIGHLY MODIFIED FOR SAFETY AND FOR PERFORMANCE. THE MODIFICATIONS TO EACH CAR COST IN EXCESS OF $40,000 PER CAR ON TOP OF THE COST OF THE ACTUAL POLICE INTERCEPTOR CROWN VICTORIA ITSELF!!! THE MOTOR IS A 1999 SVT 4.6 LITER 4 CAM 32 VALVE ENGINE WITH 320 HORSEPOWER, IT IS NOT A DIRECT BOLT IN FOR THESE CARS AND REQUIRES EXTENSIVE MODIFICATION AND EXPENSE.



I believe this to be the very definition of speed and class -

That isn't a particularly desirable year for the Corvette. The challenger, could be a scam, but at least Tineye isn't finding it and the text isn't anywhere else. So that's one scam sign that isn't showing.

Yeah the vet isn't smog exempt so that explains why it is cheap. But the Challenger is priced way low for what it is.

That vet is priced about right assuming the need for haggle room. 79K mile corvettes are pretty common. Low mileage for a vet is under 12K. Over 100K in a vette and you can forget about selling it. The challenger guy might just need money but that price seems like a bargain.

He's haggling with himself. After a little more back-and-forth, he and himself will settle on $37,500, and he'll drive off in his new car to spend his newfound riches, and he and he both win.

Too bad Craigslist isn't binding...

I don't really get the people trying to selling anything for over like ten grand on craigslist. It just doesn't seem like the place to do that, like selling some Du Pont Registry Countach car in AutoTrader.

What I don't get is people trying to sell something for ten grand+ and making even the slightest mistake or glaring omission in the ad. I listed a '93 Nissan Altima for like $1500 and I went over that fucker with a fine-tooth comb. If I were trying to sell something for many times that, I'd probably go through and diagram the drat sentences looking for misplaced modifiers and split infinitives--certainly I'd make sure the price of all things was within [b]an order of magnitude[b] of what I actually wanted.

Q: hi would you be prepared to swap for my grandmas disabled boogey it has one speed(not very fast)and a reverse light is out .and if you deliver your aston i will even throw in my granny for three if thats of any intrest .thanks 22-Aug-10

A: Sorry, no can do. This reminds me of a shocking episode in my life, that happened when I was twelve. I came home from school, and found my parents going at it hammer and tongs in the en suite bathroom. As I stood in the doorway in shock and disgust, my father turned to me, laughed, and said 'bugger off'. Sensing the need for immediate and proportionate revenge, I ran down the stairs and tipped my disabled grandmother out of her wheelchair. I then proceeded to tear away at several layers of popsocks and petticoats to reveal a shocking array of winnits and bongo-twiddlers. Unable to acheive full ridgidity, I had to hastily thumb in a softy, and just in time too, as my father come running down the stairs as the emergency cord had been pulled. Seeing this ghastly spectacle before him, my father went absolutely ballistic, his face fixed in a grimace of sheer terror. I ended the onslaught, by casually announcing ' Not quite so funny when it's your Mother, is it?'
