"It never crunk back." Awesome.

Here's my contribution for today:

91 Nissan NX2000 - $500 (Fulton, MO) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2011-06-29, 9:20PM CDT Reply to: sale-hmuhf-2470001037@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Text for pics, car does run and drive just needs jumped, over 200XXX miles, SR20DE motor, T-tops work and dont leak, 5th gear is popped out but is external and is a easy fix, I lost interest in the car when it was totaled due to deployed airbag. an aftermarket steering wheel comes with the car. the windshield is cracked and the from bumber is cracked you will see in pics. all lights still work, i drove the car for another month after the wreck until insurance totaled it without letting me know when i didnt want it totaled. For those who know this car is rare and SR20 is a high redline engine and is fast out of the box. CAR HAS NO TITLE IF YOU WANT THE TITLE YOU HAVE TO PAY 150 TO THE DEALERSHIP I GOT IT FROM. i payed over 2,000 for this car and is worth more than what im asking due to its rarity and its its fair condition due to its age. txt anytime at xxxxx DO NOT CALL OR TXT ASKING ABOUT AN EVERYDAY DAILY DRIVER. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED BY THE HIGHWAY PATROL TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD OR YOU CAN JUST MAKE IT A DRAG CAR OR SHOW CAR. thanks. •Location: Fulton, MO

No photos...but I can only imagine.

I suppose the price isn't way out of line but the "It's worth WAY more than what I'm asking for a wrecked, no title car that I paid too much for BEFORE it was wrecked or had no title" puts me off. Also...the griping about the insurance company. It's state law that the insurance company HAS TO total a car if the cost to repair exceeds 75% of the value.

1992 Silver and black Subaru SVX. It has 176,230 miles engine runs good. Only 14,000 made, very unique. It has grey leather and suede interior in ok condition. The car also has a sun roof that works well and 18 inch Motegi Racing Rims with Radial Nexen Tires in really good condition. A $1500.00 dollar set up! The car is all wheel drive also.It has new brakes and rotors,new water pump,new alternator,new radiator,new timing belt,new coil packs and spark plugs. The transmission on the car is a automatic. The transmission will go into 1st and 2nd but not 3rd or drive. I think it is a dirty trans filter or sensor. The only problem with the car is it needs a paint job and the transmission worked on. I can start the car up any time but don't drive due to the transmission. You need to tow to destination. I am asking $1500.00 for the car no more no less! There is no room for negotiation! Please don't call past 9:00 pm will not answer. I am available on Saturday's 10:00am to 5:00pm. No other days. Serious inquiries only. First person with $1000.00 gets the car. Located in Tampa near Bush Gardens. call 813-778-8562 or 813-989-8505

Right...just a little transmission work.

I know this thread says delusional Craigslist ads, but this eBay ad is too good, bad, and ugly to pass up:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Replica-Kit-Makes-/290585353641?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item43a83c9da9

No, your crappy Cougar-based Veyron-wannabe is NOT fast enough, and it never will be unless you drop it off a cliff with booster rockets attached.

CL Seller said: It has only 170,000 and has plenty of life left in it [are you sure? How do you know? I'm sure you have a full maintenance history on it, right?]. I would trust this car to takeit anywhere. [wait for it....] Now the down fall with this car is that it is not currently running. [WHAT!? Did you not just say, 55 characters ago that you would trust this car to take you anywhere? How, on a tow truck?] A few wks ago I ran it out of gas. [Sorry, the mark of a moron. I have NEVER ran out of gas. See, there is a little neddle thing on the dash that tells you when it's low. If that doesn't work, you have an odometer] It never crunk back. [where did you go to school, Detroit?] It turns over but seems to act like its no getting gas. [what's a missed "t" between friends?] I replaced the fuel pump (retails $400) [if you mention that it RETAILS for $400, you got some crappy Chinese knock-off for $40] and it stll didnt crank. [I don't care if it doesn't crank, I need to know if it will crunk]. I researched the problem and read several articles that says you must replace the fuel pump relay and possibly the Main Relay. These are $30 each. [so, the car will take you anywhere for $60 more dollahs?] I really think this is the problem but I have decided to pass this car on to someone else.[How can I thank you. I appreciate you blessing me with this problem that you can't fix.] I dont want to put any money into it. MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN!!![it's only your loss if you don't fix it you freaking moron!] I will sale or trade this car. I am asking $2400 for the car as-is.$2400 for a crunkless car that has plenty of life left in it? What a steal!] I am looking for another car of equal value that is alittle better on gas. If you have somethig to offer, please call me. [I'll offer you a case of crunk to put in the car, would that help?]

I've added commentary...

that seems to be going rate for e46's around here sadly. bmw's are super expensive in this area for some reason, I think everyone really is convinced they are indefatigable. ultimate price gouging machine!

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/ctd/2609517696.html
yes! I finally found the $14k 1988 944! with the automatic transmission I desired!
I don't care that I could buy an old 911 for the same price!
or a much newer boxster! or a hell of a good 928!

hah wow just looked at the pictures and noticed that the "transmission: automatic" has 3 pedals and a manual looking shifter. weeeeeeird?!
I can't believe how stupid the people who list these cars are, can they seriously not just look at the car to check? I see this nearly everyday, and on a car like this the tranny could be a make or break point. well, that and the price.

Saying the title is "lost" and a purchaser would be stealing the car just seems like a bad sales angle.

I bought a car from an ad like that. It was silver car for sale, 5spd, $50. Turned out to a be a 88 Tempo but I still bought it.

It's a jen-yew-wine " Zunfolge"! Sez so, right on the cam cover.

Zunfolge...that's one of those high-performance versions...like AMG, right? Or could he mean ZÜNDFOLGE...German for "firing order?"

Rare 2bbl Boss 302 Engine!!!!!
