Paging Captain Obvious to the Craigslist ad
 
Well...I was confused until I'd read further.




1983 Porsche 944 NEED GONE ASAP

16vCorey 03-13-2013 08:07 AM
Haha! "That 944 looks just like an old LTD or something! Oh, it's the one on the left, never mind."

Jferr006 03-13-2013 08:08 AM
Im still confused... why is he asking $5500?! :D

16vCorey 03-13-2013 08:14 AM
Yeah, it's certainly not priced like he needs it gone asap. I have a feeling he'll be keeping it for a while.

So he can get "talked down" to the 2500-3k he actually wants for it...

gacook 03-13-2013 08:53 AM
Actually looks pretty well taken care of based on the pics, too.

2500-3k would be those "bs low-ball offers" he specifically says he doesn't want.

gacook 03-13-2013 08:59 AM
True, possibly. However, the asking price isn't stupid out there if the car's in good condition. The range of values for these cars is crazy, and very geographically-dependant. I picked mine up for $1800 primarily because the guy was not the most brilliant about taking care of cars. I've put a few hundred into it and it's like driving a different car (cosmetically and mechanically).

Lol! Life is great.

Trevorlw 03-13-2013 09:03 AM
5,500? And probably never had the Rambo Done.

Sad. Lol

From the market I've seen around here.. $5500 would be way too much even for an '83 in really good condition but, 2.5-3k, definitely. For $5k it would have to be a later car for me.

Aw man. I wanted the one on the right.

Gawernator 03-13-2013 10:37 AM
Looks nice to me

Pettybird 03-13-2013 11:03 AM
It's tied for the dumbest thing I've read today. The other is from USA Today, with the headline "Catholic cardinals elect new pope."

Good thing it wasn't the St Louis Cardinals...

I get the feeling that you haven't tried to sell much on the ole Craigslists.

I'm sure someone has offered him a Ramcharger and $750. Or maybe a TV. THAT'S your typical CL lowball.

Gawernator 03-13-2013 11:13 AM
Lol someone tried to trade me a cheap motorcycle for my 944 on CL

iplagolf 03-13-2013 02:51 PM
Do ya think you could transplant the Landau (sp) top on the one on the right to the one on the left? Nah, would look like a bad comb over...

I've bought and sold quite a few vehicles there... I've had many stupid trade offers but, never really stupid numbers like $800 for a $6k car.
