That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Yes, in the sense that paying 10 grand for a rotting 30 year old german tractor is a bad idea.

So still better than getting anything off Craigslist with "Barn Find" in the title, got it.

I don't know about barn find, but my coworker's husband a couple jobs ago bought a SVX that had been kept in a warehouse since the 90s. The best looking one I have ever seen, perfect paint and interior. Less than 50k miles. I guess warehouse conditions are probably better than barns, though.

"barn find" is craigslist lingo for "full of mouse poo poo"

Kinda like how "rust free" is code for "no holes bigger than a nickel" and "no accidents" is code for "definitely been in an accident"

Ah the old craigslist repost + $$$.

Let's see, original seller was asking $800 so I'm assuming this guy bought it for $500. Now he is asking $1200.

A lot of the Kerbside Cars dealers in the UK seem to take pictures of their cars outside normal level sketchy used cars lots to try and make it look like they are a dealer. You then get there and yep in a driveway with a ton of other scrap.

"Ran when parked" means "limped to parking spot with smoke billowing out of the hood and the brakes didn't really work. Oh yea, steering has half a turn of play, too. But it 'ran' "

a 119 teaspoon engine(we are using terrible engine displacement terms here right?) that puts out a whole 39 horsepower, so that is going nowhere and looking terrible doing it.

It's actually pretty easy to tell just by the pics or email correspondence. Craigslist car flippers are dumb for the most part.

Well... wagons don't tear out the floor area that the subframe mounts to, but mostly there aren't many other options if you want a manual RWD wagon.

Yeah I thought about getting one because I wanted a five door, but ridiculous prices for mostly automatic high mileage wagons pretty much got me off that idea really quick. Ended up getting a Scion xB :v:
