credit for ambition.  Now for humor...

Since the seller omitted punctuation, we have to supply it.  "Reason for selling Uncle passed away selling car for my Aunt"  Is it:

  • "Reason for selling: Uncle passed away selling car for my Aunt" (If the uncle passed away due to selling the car, why does nephew think it's a good idea for him to sell it?  Might he meet the same fate?)?
or,
  • "Reason, for selling Uncle, passed away. Selling car for my aunt" (Did reason pass away selling the Uncle? And now, in absence of reason, the nephew must sell car for the aunt? Is she worth $12000 OBO?)?
Hah!

So is it safe to say this car will come with $11,500 worth of cocaine hidden strategically under the rear seat, behind the plastic in the backseat, and trunk, and lastly, is the seller on shaging drugs, himself?


11.5K of pen 15e isn't all that much, in a physical amount. Easily fit in the glovebox and console, but the car doesn't have a console, so....


I'd have to imbibe that much blow to think 12K is a fair price. 1200 would be better, and that's still too much for a 3.8 car, much less with the Can't Fuel Inject  system....LOL

I hope it sells.  I'll have that much in mine when it's done.

I like the Turbo Coupe emblem on the rear bumper of a car that is obviously a V6.

I missed that...must've been dazzled by the non-faded Brothel Rouge interior...LOL

That car would be ripe for a coyote swap, SN95 suspension, and big wheels/rubber. But not with the price, AND that slutty red stuff. Hey, want to buy a bridge? I have 3....

I have seen several basic V6 cars like this with stupefying asking prices. I think these people all have the original window sticker so they just take whatever price is on that, cut it in half and say "That's TOTALLY fair! Look how much it was when it was new! And it's STILL new! Clearly!"

I bought a mostly complete parts TC AND a running driving Sport for 800 bucks combineds. Granted, neither car had was as clean, but obviously much more desirable parts.

Think I actually made a few dollars' profit of everything I sold, too. Thinking about taking my riches and going to Vegas, but shiznit, gonna have to rob a bank and a car dealership first...
