Ignoring the date on the ad, look at this near flawless Datsun for sale: http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/4888450315.html I wonder if it would come with hideous pants.

If it wouldn't have shown up in my search results at the real price it means I'm not interested in buying it shitlord. I've been looking for a tacoma and the ads are so bad that it only take one flag to bring the listing down. poo poo ad? BAM. Justice served. It is only satisfying the first 1000 times.

Friar Zucchini posted:http://augusta.craigslist.org/cto/4944236132.html I've got an 89 DPS Mustang, correct wheels and all. I'll be selling it in a year or so, if you want one that bad. It won't have a motor or trans, but the interior is amazing! It somehow started, after sitting in the back for a few years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFZ6oOlZ_2Q They're nothing special, though. Just had two different parts on the engine and they didn't make it go faster, although that '85 was carb'd so it might've been different. Most fun part of driving one is that noone on the freeway ever passes you. It's uncanny. Sir Tonk fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Apr 4, 2015 |

Uh no timing chain should be "lifetime" 150k plus on those motors. Motor's shot. But, you can swap a K24 into that for some HUGE TORKS.

  http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/ctd/4961673678.html Aside from being a 185k mile mid-90s Volvo wagon, in one of the sketchiest used car lots I know, in a bad part of town, it doesn't look like a bad deal assuming there's nothing particularly major wrong with it. It's been amusing watching the ads relist every couple days for a while now though.

Is craigslist not as adamant about pulling down multiple ads as they used to be? I swear that never seemed to happen a few years ago. Sure would clean up my searches.

Another favorite of mine is people who put unintelligible garbage in the location field which defaults to 0,0 which is coordinates off the coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean.

Been looking at Wranglers lately, it seems like every year the prices get more retarded, and it's close to impossible to find a completely stock YJ or TJ anymore. Guess I'm not gonna own a Wrangler any time soon

Guess I'm not gonna own a Wrangler any time soon Welcome to what I like to call "the >1999 MY Subaru market." Part of the initiation into this exclusive club requires you to set up no less than four different CL notifier rules through no less than two different CL scraping websites, and checking those emails the moment you wake up, and right before you go to sleep. Seriously, why are Subaru Bajas so expensive? Theyr'e the ugly ones!

Heh, we just spent last Friday hanging out with my wife's friend who recently left her neurosurgery residency to become an anesthesiologist so she didn't have to constantly work 12 hour days all the time. If that's about what she's making now, I wonder just how obscene her income was before.

It's funny you mention options because I am guessing there aren't a lot of Coral Red interiored BMW's on dealer lots, he had to special order that. Also: BMW branded tire cozies!

The seller is of a higher socioeconomic status than you so therefore he must be better at you than everything including taking care of cars right? Really though, I wouldn't buy a 3 series from the CEO of BMW himself, because you know he has better things to do than worry about the condition of his 3 series. A real selling point would be "owned by a poor that saved up to buy this and values it more than his children".

I read an amusing story a while back about how a doctor took BMW to the supreme court over $600. http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/the-king-of-all-bmw-owners-1688628187 quote:Let me tell you the story of the greatest BMW owner of all time, Dr. Ira Gore. He loved his black BMW so deeply that he sued its maker and won a $4 million jury award because it had $601.37 of paint repair before he bought it. He fought all the way to the US Supreme Court, cementing his claim as King of all BMW owners.
