A few years ago when I was looking for a Civic to replace the one I had that got crushed by a tree I noticed this trend here. Every dealer lot with a Civic that I went to would not budge below $10k, no matter the condition or mileage.
I looked at a '91 with an inoperable passenger door that was caved in, no radio, no AC, an interior that was completely shredded like someone left Hooch in the car for a day, and almost 250k miles. The tires where bald, the steel wheels didn't match, the paint was flaking off in spots, and it didn't start until the fifth try.
The dealer absolutely REFUSED to budge from his $9995 asking price. He told me, verbatim, "These cars are extremely desirable right now what with high gas rices and all. I have other people interested in this car, but I will gladly sell it to you for $500 over sticker right now!"
What a loving deal!

I was looking for cars up here in Vancouver, I was actually on the phone with DJCommie/Baby Hitler at the time, I noticed a 99ish civic, non matching wheels, lovely altezza lights that were all fogged up inside, there was water inside the car, all the little interior bits, radio surround, door handle surround that kind of stuff was painted this lovely light blue and it was chipping off, they wanted something like 11 or 12k for it.

Great opportunity to drive a high-performance E55 AMG model for SUPER CHEAP! This elegant thoroughbred will showoff its talent under any circumstances. Lets start off by impressing you with its� intense 469-horse power supercharged V8 that throttle like a super car and has taut handling to match. This vehicle will only make Consumer�s like yourself, stop what you�re doing and seek answers to what this beauty entails. This shiny black surface will loll you to peek into the slightly tinted windows to see what the inside showcases a bevy of appointments. This car is fully loaded (Canadian car) that recently hit a ditch and is currently in the body shop having it's undercarriage fixed. You can have the car now, and pay the body shop yourself (or choose a different shop altogether if you wish) but do understand, that when you check the VIN: WDBJF74J2YB113588 it carries a clean title, but won't once the car is fixed. The pictures are of the actual car AFTER the damage, so that you can see that it isn't much, and the body, frame, or airbags were not compromised.

THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!"

Look! The on-dash DVD player/little TV!!

Those really are some BLUE racing seats!

Sadly, I imagine just from the look of it it's been pretty ragged out mechanically. Of course, I have no proof of that, but it seems that around here, people rice out their cars, put fart cans on then then drive the dogshit out of them, as though LOOKING like a supercharged sports car is the same as having a real supercharged sportscar.

Otherwise it may not cost TOO much to take that thing and UN-molest it... but given it's a 92, I would be surprised if it wasn't on it's last leg mechanically.

Thats great, I wonder how long it takes someone to go cut the top and steal the DVD Player and stereo.

If he's from Ft. Walton, odds are this dude is Air Force, and is probably getting deployed somewhere.

He loves this country so drat much, he's willing to sacrifice his car and go overseas to fight for the american way

But then he would say he was 'getting deployed' which is way more patriotic, and makes the car way more patriotic, you could say you bought it from a hero.

Hell, even the scammers say they are getting deployed.

I can't understand this ad. Does she come with the house or something? Why is it listed as "for sale" in Vacation Rental section? And where did that other picture come from?

I'm guessing Divorce Barbie wants someone to buy her house so she can keep up her lifestyle, otherwise she can't afford to stay there.

The nerf bars and mudflaps are somehow the weirdest part. On a car this...molested, the 2 things that'd be completely normal on something else are the weirdest part.

Everything else is just rice taken to the extreme, cant decide if you want a fake hood scoop or fake roof scoop? Get both! wings west whale tail roof spoiler or weird bodykit quarter panel spoiler? Fukken both dawg! But nerf bars? is this something people are doing now? or is it something this retard got high and came up with and had a friend weld him some up?

edit: and what does someone who sells a car like this buy next? I mean a Ferrari F50 would be the next logical progression but what if he take some weird tangent and gets a town car and a AAA membership, or a boring little bitty japanese crossover SUV or a prius or a 26' retired diesel u-haul truck.

I think he went to Autozone with a blank check and said GIVE ME EVERYTING!

Is it normal to see tire in the engine bay?

They probably had to cut the wheel wells to get the engine to fit.

I don't think that splashing the alternator with water if it was raining would be all that great of an idea...
