I was just looking for a Robocop Taurus and stepped in some crazy.  http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/1489073181.html If it wasn't for the tree branch falling on it part this would be gold:  I'd probably still take it even with tree damage for $200. Looks clean outside and in, even if the engine was totally hosed I have a 2.0L SPI in an Escort with a lovely exterior and finding a tranny to go with it wouldn't be too hard. Plus if you were to take the hatch off it'd look like a miniature Ranchero.  Of course I don't have room, time, or money for a project car

VideoTapir posted:You think this is an indication of fraud or something? I think you see that statement disproportionately on 2-seaters. (Also from misguided people selling 2-doors with back seats.) To be fair it is a pain in the rear end using a baby seat in a 2+2. My mom drove a Maverick 2 door when I was born and my dad drove a Nova coupe. They sold the Maverick a few months later and bought a four door Buick Wildcat.

VideoTapir posted:Most coupes and 3 door hatches have small back seats, and it can get tiring to have your kid's knees poking into your back. Also folding seats forward and back every time you get in the car. It's just plain easier with a 4 door, even a compact one. We also had an Escort hatchback. Oh god the all red vinyl interior and the horn on the signal stalk.

I know this snow makes me miss my mom's '96 4x4. It was a gas guzzler, the suspension was totally shot, but it just did not give a gently caress how deep or icy the snow was.

slidebite posted:This is quite possibly the cleanest XR4Ti I've seen (going by the pics) up here in over a decade. That does look very clean, and it has the proper spoiler on it. Wish my boss hadn't jacked his XR4Ti up so much, I like those little buggers.  He decided "I WANT A RACE CAR" so he took one of the XRs he owned and had the motor built to hell for roundy round racing. It's far beyond his needs or ability to actually drive it, and now he bitches all the time because it idles rough and it's hard to drive on the street. He has to take a back up car to races because the Merkur breaks down within a few laps, usually blowing a rocker arm off. He's got probably 50 or 60k into this car, including having a somewhat famous tuner and custom guy rebuild the engine. Also it has a Sierra Cosworth rip-off whale tail spoiler on it.

deviant. posted:Undermining? I'm not familiar with this...is there software to increase your feedback score or something? I believe there are scripts to automate the process but what a lot of scammers do is have multiple accounts buying and selling those 0.01 HOW TO MAKE MONEYZ AT EBAY and other such things ebooks. Leave ambiguous "GREAT SELLER A++" "GREAT BUYER A++" feedback, lather, rinse, repeat until you have a good feedback score. It works out to something like 50 cents per positive.

Rhyno posted:I don't think it's legal to sell cars that have contained murdered bodies. I know it's legal to buy suicide cars because one of our mechanics bought one from the son of the woman who blew her brains out in it. The son just threw a towel over the blood and drove it that way for a while. Now the carpet and seats (including towel and blood) are lying around the employee parking lot being gross. The other techs keep razzing him over his "haunted car." Professor Bling posted:It's not craigslist but it's most definitely gold: Marchero Cinquo! I would drive that in a heartbeat.

Doctor Londom posted:Oh my god Ahahahahahahaha The rear strut mounts rusting through is the death knell for a lot of Escort sedans as it's not safe to drive but the car is worth so little that it's more economical to buy something else than to have the body work done to repair it. Obviously this man was thinking outside the box. The box of pop rivets and sheet metal scraps.

VideoTapir posted:Does a dying (or just anything-less-than perfect?) battery cause permanent damage, or is it something that is fixed when the battery is replaced? It can cause damage, although it's usually only in certain cases. Like powerstroke diesels, if you run it on a failing battery your FICM will burn out.

Toucan Sam posted:I know where there is a 0 mile 2002 Ford Thunderbird. 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".
