Houseboat. Needs work. $500

When I was attempting to sell my 944, I probably could have won an award for longest CL ad ever. It was basically a full documentation of every aspect of the car, any issues, and answering every question I knew would get asked. I mainly did this for 3 reasons - 1) I don't feel like answering the same questions over and over, 2) I would hope if I were buying something, someone would give me the same level of information. I mean you're buying a car, not a candy bar, there's an investment involved, and 3) I hoped it would attract similar car nuts who knew 944's and would appreciate the extra information and answers to common 944 issues.

I did actually get a few "that was a great ad" and one guy who called me with a laundry list of questions, when I told him I answered it all in the ad he responded with "your ad was too long to read", to which I replied "my time is too much for you to waste. ".

I don't understand. It takes zero effort in this day and age with camera phones and 3 minutes to write some semblance of a description.

Picture is okay, but the owner's spelling of the model name leaves something to be desired.

"Best offer of 1600$ or more..." Really? You expect a bidding war?

Uh... I don't know which is worse, the logic that went into putting an MG (and what looks to be the carcass of a Fiero) on top of an RV, or taking photos of said vehicle from two towns over...

Volvo Wagon

Great car, terrible photos
