Kinja'd!!!

Can get A complete history of the vehicle, any pets? what kind? Smoked in? what was smoked in it? has it ever had a parking ding? or anything go wrong with it? ever?

How ‘bout that timing belt? “it doesn’t have one” -”hondas all have belts?” Not this one “I think you’re mistaken or scamming me” “just google it”

or “ I have no problem with condition or price! will buy now,-paypal/shipper/cheque etc.”

And lots of people Haggling but never showing up to have a look.

“Can I get the vin?” “it’s on the dash feel free to come take a picture”

I’m not good at this am I?

Edit: For a living I have to convince people that their radio won’t turn off because their door latch is failing. I find any combination of people and autos equals stupid. (except oppos, we ask if we don’t know something)

Tried my hand at flipping a few years ago. Found potential buyers to be huge headaches and I wanted to fix every little item. Let’s just say it wasn’t a profitable experience. Now I only sell cars when I absolutely have to.

Your car sounds broken. I’ll give you $200 for it, if you deliver. What was it again?

Yeah, I was just trying to say how the selling process never got any easier no matter how many times I tried it or how perfect I made the cars.

MY line on used cars is as follows: “a used car might outlive us all and wind up in some future museum of really good used cars, or it might burn to the ground the first time you turn your back on it. Usually it falls somewhere in between, the only guarantee I make is that it will eventually dissapoint you, and take your money” And I’m selling a really good used car.

The biggest thing any craigslist seller needs is patience.

It might take months for a seller to come along wanting to buy what you have for a price worth selling it for.

Or you could list it as “Need to get rid of it” and take any offer that comes along.

Good little car, went to a country preacherman needing good gas mileage. “cars really ain’t the business of honest men, but I’ve got no problem telling a minister that this is a good little car” seemed to do the trick.
