More awesome Craigslist photos

I decided to search for a Ford EXP on Craigslist, and it turned up two ads for Explorers instead of the odd two seater Escort. Interestingly, both of them had a severe problem with photo composition - they always had part of the truck out of the frame.

From this link:

Good codition 2 owners everythn wrks 1800 will negotiate prices dent n pass bck door

And to his credit, the "pass bck door" is visible in this photo, but it is very difficult to tell its "codition".

And... that's the only picture in the ad.

The other ad isn't as awesomely terrible, but he still can't get the whole truck in the viewfinder, even after taking five different pictures.

Look! It's a vintage Thunderbird with an LPG conversion and an extra long range fuel tank!

My best guess is they are selling the 3 wheeler.

In reply to pjbgravely:

Yep - A Honda 200S is a 3-wheeler.

"Comes with a trailer" - That trailer looks like a terrifying liability...

"No rust anywhere. Other then it just got light serface rust" - Not sure this guy knows what "no" means

Wow, just wow

I know how to sell my dune buggy! I'll stick it with its deathtrap trailer with a flat tire at the abandoned gas station behind that ratty pea soup green boat.

I just noticed they never got out of their car...you can see door panel in every shot!

These sorta make one want to try to post an auto ad with even crappier pics, just to see if anyone will bite!

In reply to trucke:

In their defense it does appear to be raining out. Maybe they're made of sugar and will melt.

2007 audi s6 v10 - $25000

The pictures not great, but the wheel reference is awesome!

Car has 67,xxx miles on it Custom x-pipe exhaust, apr stage 1 tune and H&R lowering springs. Have he receipt For $2500 worth of maintenance done to it maybe a month ago. Exterior is in good condition, with the exception of a few spots, normal wear for a 10 year old car. Worst spot being a dent in the passenger fender from hitting a pothole. Interior is is good condition.

The passenger side back wheel is a little bit of a different size.(company sent me the wrong wheel) having trouble getting them to return it. Will sell before or after I get a different one.(if they return it)

This Camaro has been in storage for 10 to 12 yrs. It has a 12 bolt posi. with 3.73 gears . This is a good solid restorable 1st. gen. Camaro. I have all new in the boxes parts to restore the body. The interior is there . All the glass is in tact. I have a brand new 3 core alum. rad. in the box. Too many parts to mention. Sorry; Can't get good pictures where it is stored inside a building. Phone calls only. Thanks, Dave

Clearly took photos with his phone of actual printed photos, but didn't bother to orient it so it would actually focus....lame.

But they spelled Camaro correctly.

Is Tact a suburb of Hanover, since that is where the glass is?

OMG, I have been hunting for a project car for several weeks now, and I think CL has given me cancer. Seriously. I don't know how many ads I have seen contain one or more of the following:

Need to sale soon.

I am saleing my car.

Car is complete, just needs engine and trans.

Will pass smog ... Exhaust has strait (not straight, mind you) pipe and deleted cats.

Brand new Cadillac converter

These are getting harder to find in this condition!!!

If you know what this is you know that they are rare!!!!

These cars regularly sell at auction for 50-75k when restored!

Gas Saver!! - I literally saw this on an ad for a Ford Expedition one time.

Car in good condition but needs restored (yes, needs restored. I swear most of these people must have failed 2nd grade english).

I e-mailed the guy and suggested that his crack habit was leading him to delusions of grandeur. He (politely) explained to me that he could get more money parting it out if he wanted to.

$2000:

This one always gets me riled up and/or laughing. Because usually the condition of the item listed in the ad is the exact condition most of them can be found in: Rusting in a field in need of complete restoration.

The statement of how "rare" it is is another funny one. Nope...a craptastic Fiero* is not rare. And when it is some day...it won't make it worth your asking price...it just means most of them have been crushed.

*(I have nothing against Fieros nor the "craptastic" subset of Fieros. There is a good chance that some day I may own a Fiero...and if I do, there is a nearly 100% chance it will be craptastic, at best.)

I once saw a very interesting old Volvo sitting in a converted gas station lot along with another dozen or so relics from the 50s and 60s. I went into what I thought was the office to inquire as to the price of said car and the guy ran me out. Said that none of the cars were for sell and that I was trespassing (Note that this was also at the corner of a major intersection in a mid-sized city). Months later I bumped into a Craigslist advertisement for that car for a pretty realistic price. I sent him a note saying that the market for old Volvos was small enough that he'd have better luck selling them if he wasn't a shiny happy person about it.

Are you trying to take a selfie or a pic of the truck?

2nd one might be even better

Ad is otherwise unremarkable. F150

I saw this in a few STI and Evo ads when I was hunting for one, too.
