The location says it all, I wonder whats covered with that 60 or 100 mile comprehensive warranty. This guy can't be much older than 19, at least I pray that he isn't while reading this ad.

"If there are any problems with the brake hoses or anything like that, they are fine now, so it will be your responsibility."

??? What exactly is the point?

Here's the real killer:

Terms of Sale


"60 mile warranty. You bid on it, you buy it. If this is a gift, I will put on a bow on it and lie for tax purposes. (If you win) "

Not exactly what I would put in print.... also I checked the white area (hidden print) majorly funny.

Just like the Cat D8e I used to operate for a summer job when I was in high school. It was a 6 speed, but you could not shift while moving (and trust me, I tried my damndest)- you had to stop, put it in the gear you wanted, and then go. It had another shifter for forward/reverse, so in reality you had 6 forward and 6 reverse gears! Ah, the driving tales I can tell from driving Cats! Makes some peoples' Porsche stories pale by comparison!

This pretty much is the clincher for me.

"All of the lights on the inside are very bright, sometimes too bright but you can dim them."

If I had not read that the car has never been airborne, I would be writing a check right now. I NEED bright lights.

For Sale, or maybe not: 1 car by "Sammy the Schizo"

This may, or may not, be a really good car!

Someone should show email him this thread - he is taking the piss to see what sort of reaction he gets (an Ebay troll if you will) and while he is getting the enjoyment of people emailing him and telling him he is a moron, he is missing out on the above.

I am seriously impressed - the hidden writing is class. I bet he's got some major traffic through that ad.

I would in fact be surprised if he is even that serious on selling the car...

LMAO

OK all you PA and surrounding guys need to get together a do something about this before he breeds. I don’t think the gene pool can take another one of these guys. His mother obviously didn’t hit him enough.

that's funny, because my rule is I never buy a car that *hasn't* hit a Llama. Alpaca is OK too. Why do you think it took me so long to find my car?

That is quite possibly one of the funniest things I would never have seen if you told me about it then maybe I wouldn't have until last week. But sometimes I did and not usually. LOL...I thought I would die when the basketball player was knocked out by the full-court pass!!! Hilarious!

"And I have a garage that I park it in. But that's not included. And I have gas in the car. But that's not included. AND I have a sun shade. But that's not included."
Did anyone else notice that he listed about three things and then said they were not included. What a schmoe. LOL

rice burner soy sauce were you in the war

Cute. Made me chuckle a bit. I didn't know you could put the *hidden* white text in the add. Perhaps to get a few extra hits on the search tool...

I don't think I have ever seen an item with 25K+ hits.

Think that could be a sham counter??
