I told him Id just bought a BMW of the same year for $1300 cheaper (not-so-casually mentioned), and wanted a winter car and asked if he would take $1500. I didnt hear back from him.

I've looked through dozens and dozens of these ads and the cars never "run well," they "run good." I'm no grammar Nazi or anything but goddamn it's annoying me.
