Best sales pitch ever!

I just love this Craigslist ad for a Skyline. If this has already been posting, then I apologize. The truth is even if it has; it should be reposted.

Skyline! 1990 GTSt

He understands his market better than most marketing professionals.

Seeing more and more of this kind of ad on Craigslist/kijiji. Tongue-in-cheek riffing without one iota of real information about what's for sale.

This ad doesn't disclose mileage, accident status, maintenance, or any other information about the car... with a vehicle like this, title and licensing status is critical (notice how it has no plates in the pictures?) but none of that, nor any other real info about the car, is disclosed.

Having said that, I think the seller knows his market, i.e. a pimply kid who's so taken with the idea of "JDM" and "drifting" that he plunks down 5 large for a mechanically dubious legally unregisterable *****box.

Nice... I could only imagine Nissan Advertising Compliance having a field day with that... The whole thing would be flagged red with "Unsubstantiated Superlative"...
