Favorite Sales pitches in a Pelican Ad

[Vaive]

Priced to sell!

Oh really? So everyone else is listing their car at a price that is not intended to sell?

This isn't just Pelican but ads for things in general. When people say $X or OBO. They don't ever understand what best offer means. If you're asking $50K and the only offer you get is $45K, that is your best offer. But 9/10 times that offer won't be accepted. Because what they really mean is best offer that is within $500 of asking price.

I don't "need" to sell it, and I definitely don't want to sell it, but I would sell if for the right price

So why exactly are you listing it then

S.O. demanded it?

"Don't contact me unless you're prepared to commit to buy." (listing provides so little info, you don't know if it has an engine let alone running; let alone matching.)

Fixed that for you. RS clones are played out. The cache term is to call it an ST rep, which mostly had 911 dog leg boxes in them.

And its cousin; No test drives without cash or proof of funds.

Redone. What the hell is redone?

Rebuilt
Overhauled
Refurbished
Rattle canned

It has 274K miles. But don't let that scare you. These engines can go 500K miles easy with proper maintenance.

[Munky King]

1000 words cut and paste directly from the Wikipedia page about the history of the 911 followed by three lines of detail about the actual car itself, along with all 3 photos of the car, screen captured on their iPhone, taken from half a mile away, outside someone else’s ‘aspirational’ house, all presented in one long run-on sentence.

LoL - It has 210k miles, just getting broken in.

The 30+ year old engine with air cooled heads and cylinders is, "bulletproof".
