Check out this CL ad.

Make sure to watch the video's that's how you sell a car.

I'm not sure which is worse for my impression of the car: Directly seeing how its been driven? Or knowing the person who's been responsible for any hint of maintenance or care is so clueless as to think that's a good sales tactic...

from the ad: "Needs nothing mechanically. AC needs freeon."

I love this kind of statement. "Mechanically perfect. Does not run."

OR maybe he thinks adding freon is chemical or perhaps emotional process. But not mechanical. sigh.

Hmmm. I don't think I'm impressed.

Nope, I'm not. That is not a way to sell me a car.

but it IS a good way to sell a car … depending on your target customer … a 16yo kid would be creaming in his pants wanting to do exactly what those videos show
