overly optimistic craigs list ads

He only wants about $3500 to $4500 more for the car than it's worth... Meth kills brain cells.

Sadly that's the going price for a 240 wagon. For some strange reason I've always liked those vehicles, but gave up looking when I couldn't find one for a sensible price. Got an 850 T5 wagon instead for less money - it has twice the HP, not to mention creature comsorts, safety etc. But then I sold it when I realized it was boring as hell.

Ive dropped the price to 7000 obo because I really need a bigger car.

Ok, I've heard of some areas where Miata pricing has gotten obscene... but, this is Florida.

yes, its called miata.net

This vw single cab is great. You get some mad crazy customization for only twice what a nice stock one would go for.

Yes, we are a little strange in Florida. Hey, just look where the mag is published? See, I told you so.

Um. Didn't he just say... Wait, this isn't dependable? Gets good gas mileage? I thought 34.4 was good, but this gets 34.5! Or does it? Is he lying?

i'm pretty sure the Q45 was always an automatic.....

Isn't that the engine everybody says is indestructable?

1994 FROD TAURAUS - $800 (sp?)

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/1442884111.html

I will say that "Tauraus" is immensely more fun to say than the actual name of the car. I've been repeating it to myself for several minutes now and I am still vaguely amused.

I would also guess that "Frod" is quite likely a fitting descriptor given the execution of this ad.
