To be fair that means that all shit is at least there is some state or form. It may be garbage now, but it's all there so you have some reference on how things go together.

My eyes always glaze over like bruh when I see that "don't waste my time" shit.
Motherfucker, you're advertising on Craigslist. If your time is so valuable, just sell it to Car Max for a quick buck.
>a million irrelevant tags
>I have no faith my car will sell. Maybe the more people who see it the more likely I'll get a buyer, even if they are not interested in anything that is in the neighborhood of what I'm selling
>convertible with a jillion horsepower mods
I've tuned it up so much that now it runs like crap and nobody can figure out why. I've also realized that maybe I shouldn't have started with a convertible. Please rid me of this headache.
>over $xx,xxx invested, my loss is your gain
I am not good with money, but I'm hoping you're worse
>car has x problem, but I have x part to fix it, just haven't had time to install
Problem is elsewhere.

I was just looking at this one

Holy shit that's spot on.
>I've put tons of mods and shit in it and now it doesn't run
>please buy
>10+ year car with no collector value with a 5 digit price tag
I'll let you guys figure this out. Though usually it's something like this >>13814549.
>>13810827
I've driven the wheels off of it and am trying to dump it on a sucker before it dies for good. I've also towed shit with it, so the ride is extra janky now.
>>13814549
>my loss is your gain
That's code for "Jesus Christ himself couldn't raise this car from the dead."
>project
this is a pile of parts loosely put together in a car-ish shape
Here's something that's I've been noticing recently
>I don't need your help selling
what, like people call up and "dude, lmao, I'll help you sell your car"?
why?
Where did everyone go?
Pic related, 2000 Toyota Echo. Post as follows:
>Recent tune up
>40 mpg
>Automatic
>Would make a great first car
>232k
>Clean title
>Needs nothing mechanically
Asking 1700 for it. When I texted the person about calling tomorrow to get details and possibly meet to test drive, they just responded 'Yes' twice, nothing else.
Tfw about to put a fair condition car that runs good but has quorks on craigslist for a grand.
But it passed inspection, so its legit, right?
The most important one
>Im the original owner
>I bought financed this car and paid it off years ago however I'm selling it for three times the bluebook price because it has family history
>>13814982
>they just responded yes twice
Lol because echo, right?
>>13814982
echo a slow piece of shit
>>13814982
Other than the mileage, seems OK. As long as it has no accidents and is still tight, sure.
>I have not had sex with this car
Look, I had sex with this car. I have fetishes.
>good first car
it's reliable enough to take you 15 miles out of town, but will leave you stranded if you go beyond that

That's overpriced. There's lots of low mileage tercels in NY for under 1k
>>13814646
This happened to me, I kept getting calls from several people representing companies that "have buyers interested in you car" and would connect me to buyers for just 20% of the sale price. Of my shitbox. And for a long time, they were the only ones who contacted me at all.
>>13815156
Jesus... Just saw a Lincoln Town Car like this. Nearly 200k miles and asking 6 grand.
>>13819369
So jack the price up 20% and let them have a go at it, right?
what about
>mileage not listed
?
>>13821261
>mileage not listed
over 250k miles
>>13820915
No, meaning you get 20% for the privilege of having your car sold for you.
>>13810690
Rare car + "blah blah blah" + project
>this here base model big-three product has been sitting in the weeds for 30 years and has the structural integrity of wet cardboard, but I still want 4 grand

>don't bother
One of a kind
>I handed several thousand dollars to a guy named chaz who glued on a poorly fitted bodykit, ran blue RTV around the outside of the oil seals to make it look like he did work, disassembled the engine electrics and then disappeared off the face of the earth never to be found again. I called the police and they laughed. Give me 15,000 dollars.
> Some rust
Some metal left on the body panels
> Usual rust for this area
You can see through the fenders and rocker panels
> No rust
It's held together with paint. Don't attempt to jack it up, it might fold in half
>>13821406
Good truck for winter
>Frame is already gone

>Took these out to fix my other car, trying to pass this destroyed shell off as a project to some dimwit.
>my face when rust is such a rare problem it's never listed on ads
>>13821364
But why not add 20% to the price?
ie, selling a shitbox for 2k, someone is calling that they'll sell the car or you with a 20% commission. Tell them the price is now 2.4k.
