I'm far from one of those THE WAR ISN'T OVER YET types of people, but my inner WWII motorpool nerd goes insane when I see that or P51 sharkteeth on a BMW etc. Seriously, a Rising Sun would look great on that truck if you really have to get your decal on.

I had some guy continue to email me about "a man's word" when I decided to sell a bike to someone else for more money, getting the higher offer literally a half hour after the first guy made his. I gave him the opportunity to offer more, but he chose to go on a rant about how a man's word is bond and yadda yadda. gently caress you, I never "gave my word" and if you wanted it bad enough you'd offer more if not STFU.

In a funny turn of events, I had a camera and two lenses sold with an agreed upon price and meet up time and place. At the last minute the buyer says he found another camera cheaper and wants to re negotiate...... WORD IS BOND MOTHERFUCKER

Lol, I just said sorry have fun with the cheaper camera :v:

Okay, burned interior aside, the glass, bumpers and lights are indeed rare as hell. Not worth $1500 but absolutely worth salvaging.

I think it's the 940r that is the rare one. That one looks pretty meticulously cared for, like a cereal killer would.

My other favorite (living in a state where titles are gods word itself to the one true prophet, named MassRMV - unless it came from a handful of no title states, no title means it aint yours gently caress off) is "the guy who sold it to me lost the title, now I am selling it, it's totally easy to get a new one and the fee is only 25 bucks for a replacement, honest, that's why I'm selling it for 25 cents on the dollar instead of getting a new title myself"

I took a co-worker to look at a silver "one owner, accident free" Corolla and the passenger side door had one of the worst paint jobs I've ever seen. Little slivers of red paint showing through around the trim and door handles which I can only assume was caused by someone attempting to use painters tape to mask a fully assembled junkyard door. Also the passenger headlight was crystal clear and the bumper had fingerprints in the paint.

I had a guy tell me the car he was selling had some cosmetic damage. I went out and the entire reinforcement bar was bent in at almost a 45 degree angle.

Honestly. No sane person over 16 has interest in a craigslist "500awhp Eagle Talon TSi AWD" anyway.

The car doesn't look that bad. If he sold all his "extras" separately and sold it as what it is, a mostly stock alright looking dsm, he'd probably be able to get $3k+ for it easy.

Anyone who thinks they can get 6 grand for the least desirable year Talon with a bunch of lovely parts and a plastidipped rear hatch is a meth head.
