Joking, it was way too sketchy to actually buy but I hadnt noticed the URL. Edit: When someone e-mails you a photoshopped carfax report about a car it raises some flags before even looking at the link. Muffinpox fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Apr 4, 2011 |

 Some Goober posted:
Things I love about this ad: 1) The price 2) The fact that everything he lists as normal maintenance is suddenly and investment 3) The crack-job paint 4) The fact they had the dents pulled before spraying it crack-job blue 5) The idea that he wants the car to go to someone who will "appreciate it". I am struggling to think of many cars less worthy of appreciation than a 1992 dodge. 6) That he is going to "report" spammers and tire kickers. "Hello, Police? I just got low-ball offer on my 1992 dodge, send help!"

I've thought about responding to an ad like that and kicking the tires first thing just to see what the guy does.

Strangely, I got the best response on my Camry ad only after I threw in some language telling people not to bother with lowballs, etc.

My 2002 Dodge isn't worth as much as he's asking, and it's in far better condition than that heap. I guess I need to replace the entire fuel system to get it to appreciate in value.

Not really too bizarre. But pretty bizarre, almost 6k for a 16 year old probe. Also, is "female owned" really a selling point for a car?

A followup on that hilarious 20k e30 318 posted earlier:quote:Another addition - here's an email I sent to an E30 (in my opinion) expert who had questions about my car. Hopefully this reply will explain myself to all the other highly knowledgeable E30 people out there...

I don't know what is wrong with people that buy a car in order to run up huge storage costs forever. It almost never works out for them financially. Good luck selling your zero milage car that is now worth half of what you paid for it.

I think they run on the same logic comic book collectors do, hoping that everyone else will junk/sell/whatever theirs. And also don't realize that nowadays cars are made by the like 500,000s.

Muffinpox posted:Joking, it was way too sketchy to actually buy but I hadnt noticed the URL. It's a bit weird for a fake, that plate is right for being in Scotsbluff, NE, which is in the middle of nowhere. It's plausible that someone would sell a S2000 for that low of a price there, since there is little market for a car like that in rural Nebraska. Also, why would someone choose an extremely remote location for their scam listing?

It is stored in one of those bubbles in a climate controlled garage. We made the final delivery of it, put it up on jack stands, and stacked the tires in the corner. It was never driven, only pushed on and off of trailers. Last time i saw him it was still in the same place i left it. I still don't think it's worth what he paid for it when he bought it new.

It's definitely not, the 00s T-bird was a really awful car to begin with. All the customers at my job that drive and like them are huge douchebags, leading to the cars' nickname of "douchemobile".
