Best of Craigslist car ads

I'm looking for a winter / bad weather car so I've been scouring various city's Crailgslist ads. It's amazing what some of these marketing geniuses put in their ads. Thought I'd share some of the better ones with the group. I've added a title for each one to spice them up a little.

Enjoy!


Nice to know…
I’ve had it over 3 years now, prior to that it had 1 owner. When I purchased it, it had 63,000 miles. [note: no mention of current mileage.]

I trust my mechanic…
It was suggested by Ford that because it is a fuel injection vehicle, it takes a minutes or two for the fuel to get from the back of the car to the front and may cause hesitation for a moment when starting.

Throe ina Spelczech…
car has new red paint that cost more than the car my lose your gane looks sharp runs even beter new exsust great on gas good tires needs nothin ready to roll great first car open to trade for whatever you might have that is equale or greater value. can be reached at xxx xxx-xxxx a must see dont let this get away this is the sporty looking one with ground effects and spoiler will have pics as soon as i can find my camera

Zoom-Zoom…
Dealership mechanic said one engine code shows it will need a catalytic converter, but doesn't effect its performance.

No seating allowed…
LOOK I BUY THIS CAR TO FIX IT BUT IS BEING SEATING
ON MY BACK YARD FOR ALMOST 4 MONTHS BECAUSE I DON'T
HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT THE CAR NEEDS ANOTHER MOTOR
THE TRANSMISSION IS GOOD

1-2-3 Lift!
I would strongly recommend picking up this car. You could probably drive it to where you were going if it was less than 2 miles – more than that and it starts to overheat.

I would have never guessed…
it has about 250,000 miles on it but they are mostly all highway miles

A nip here, a tuck there…
It was in a small collision causing minor damage to the front right fender but its nothing that some new paint couldn't fix.

2 or 4 seconds are fine…
The bad is the car one day started making a weird noise when you turn it on like for 3 seconds, and also a loss of power due to exhaust leak. Things it does need is Struts, Breaks, and tires are pretty good for a while.

Same person a few days earlier…
ThE BAD: Some weird noise coming from engine but drives fine.

Don’t we all?
leaks a little gas- minor problem, easy to fix.

********************in TV repairman tools required…
needs body work. was in a reck. but the moter tires and inside are great.
needs 2 fenders back window, mirrors on the out side and some bondo work, mybe a hood. great prject car but other then that it is fine.

Caveat emptor!
