I'm trying to sell my 924 on Craigslist for the measly sum of 500 bucks, and this fuck head keeps texting me this shitty offer. I hate Craigslist.

So is you leaving us his number permission to spam?

Best I can do is a Doritos Locos taco and used copy of No One Can Stop Mr. Domino

Wow, what a dick.

Haha, pretty sure he's just trolling.

Just text back 'sure, I'll meet you at X', where X is a place somewhat inconvenient to get to - say, downtown just at rush-hour. Then don't show. He'd have to be a fecking moron to keep on after that.

I'll give you a copy of plays with cars for it.

505Turbeaux > Mathias Rios

sorry if I missed something, but why are you selling it? I have $500 burning a hole in my pocket and will be in CT one of the next few weekends

Rico > Mathias Rios

Block it or if you are feeling particularly villainous post the number on CL in the men seeking men section.

Kinja'd!!!

I see this deal and add two juicy clementines , half a pack of pall mall's an $15 in nickels!

RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht > 505Turbeaux

I went back and looked up some of the acquisition posts, because I couldn't remember either. Delaminating hatch, cracked windshield, cracked dash, iffy steering, dead carpets, some fuel issues now semi-resolved, no power, and assorted other grumbles. Nothing deadly, but a lot of fiddly stuff.

Replaced with much better condition 944.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Rico
11/25/2014 at 13:43

He left us the number...

505Turbeaux > RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht
11/25/2014 at 13:44

thanks, sounds like half the 924s out there. And again, I guess I need another project like a hole in my head

Funktheduck > Rico
11/25/2014 at 13:44

That can get you arrested for fraud. Don't do that.

RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 13:44

It's particularly "hilarious" that he "knows you can't sell it for that price" when, in fact, that's the price you bought it for and it's better now than it was. Yeah, tell me how you "know" nobody's going to buy it, CL dickbag.

Tapas > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 13:46

If he texts you again, tell him the price for him is $1k firm. For being the asshole he is...

RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht > 505Turbeaux
11/25/2014 at 13:46

Well, it's about par for a $500 924, and there's a market for that. I'll probably be in the market for a $1k 924 one of these days. I'd almost be in the market for this one apart from distance and the windshield/hatch.

STEF WHERE ARE YOU????????

deekster_caddy > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 13:48

You should be able to block him

why would anyone post their phone number on CL anyway? Use anonymous email to weed out the crazies

Funktheduck > itschrome
11/25/2014 at 13:48

I'll match both these offers and up it with a box of screws I found on the side of the road, a half eaten butterfinger, and a VHS copy of Dirty Dancing

RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht > Party-vi
11/25/2014 at 13:49

I'm imagining a version of the "Car 54" theme with "Stef 924, where are you?" now. Thanks for that.

Brian Silvestro > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 13:51

ok I won't junk it but I will still give u 250 cash

Because that'll change your mind

E92M3 > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 13:56

Text him back saying "Yeah you're right, I'll do $200 if you get it today". Then give him the wrong address.

Sorry but I hate the people that ruin the craigslist experience by trying to buy everything for half price to resell.

Tohru > itschrome
11/25/2014 at 13:58

I'll throw in an old cat and the roommate's Celica ST.

Tohru > Funktheduck
11/25/2014 at 14:19

Which is why you don't put it in men for men.

You put it in cars and trucks - by owner. Selling a 924. For $300. And mark it okay for commercial people to contact him.

It's not fraud if you yell surprise... :P

McMike > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 14:28

You can haggle a little bit can't you? Meet him in the middle at $325, then send him to the wrong address.

Funktheduck > Tohru
11/25/2014 at 14:40

Ha. Could still get in trouble possibly for fraud but less likely.

My crazy ex (most likely) did the whole "horny college girl seeking older man" to my current girlfriend. My girlfriend did the legwork for the cops getting the IP address and got the fake posting taken down after many harassing phone calls. The cops wouldn't do anything bc they said they couldn't. A few weeks later there was a national news story of the exact same thing happening to another girl and the girls who made the post were arrested and charged after obtaining just the IP address. Basically the cops didn't want to do real police work and instead wanted to focus on making money off DUI and MIP arrests in a college town.

Tohru > Funktheduck
11/25/2014 at 14:47

Well shit, now you tell me. Erm, hypothetically-speaking, of course.

TexMex > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 14:50

Amen. And also, since when did "What's the least you'll take for it" become the obligatory opening question?

RotRod > Funktheduck
11/25/2014 at 14:51

Instead, unleash the wrath of oppo. Dude's number is nice and available :)

Mathias Rios > Party-vi
11/25/2014 at 16:15

I think even she wouldn't touch this car haha, she knows about it too! She's in texas and i'm in NY.

Mathias Rios > 505Turbeaux
11/25/2014 at 16:16

What rambling rover said. It's a rough car, and add to it now a dead starter, it's a rough sell. I'm just waiting for the right person to come take it really.

Mathias Rios > RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht
11/25/2014 at 16:16

yep. I'd rather keep it than sell it to him honestly.

Mathias Rios > deekster_caddy
11/25/2014 at 16:17

I don't care about blocking him, it's pretty amusing. I put text because it's quicker and easier than email. I find that a lot of people don't even bother when you don't list a number.

Mathias Rios > TexMex
11/25/2014 at 16:17

AND WITHOUT SEEING THE CAR!

Mathias Rios > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
11/25/2014 at 16:17

pleaaaaaseeee do it

deekster_caddy > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 16:19

That's how I weed them out... email or nothing. I don't want random jerks calling me. I guess it's a good reason to get a google voice number and let people leave voicemail.

505Turbeaux > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 16:23

are you in NY state or CT? It will fire with a push, right?

Damn it thinking about it. You are on the facebook , right? If so hit me up and we'll talk

jkm7680 > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 16:37

Block the fuck out his number.

jkm7680 > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire
11/25/2014 at 16:37

And a copy of "FiSTing with Brian Silvestro."

Mathias Rios > 505Turbeaux
11/25/2014 at 16:39

The car is located in long island. I think it should, but I haven't tried yet as the tires are deflated and need to be replaced. I bought a shirt from you I think! This is probably the biggest deal breaker with the car, but the seats aren't included as they're ferarri 348 seats and I want to sell them separately...

I'll shoot you a friend request now.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 16:41

I just asked him if he has a porche for sale. We'll see where this goes.

505Turbeaux > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 16:42

if I bring a set of tires and a milk crate to sit on would I be your hero?

Mathias Rios > 505Turbeaux
11/25/2014 at 16:43

That would be insanely awesome. I mean I could let you keep the seats if you really intended to drive it but, I strongly recommend a tow. The car sometimes likes to die because the CIS system is tuned wrong and it has some fuel delivery issues and without a starter, that's gonna be rough.

505Turbeaux > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 16:47

haha yeah I might be too old for that shit. I have driven through the city in some sketchy cars though. CIS is no issue, have multimeter with duty cycle and the correct allen to tune it with. Is it stumbling on idle or at a certain RPM? How close are you to a ferry though, my pops is right on the other side of the sound

Mathias Rios > 505Turbeaux
11/25/2014 at 16:50

Yeah, I understand.

It stumbles at idle and it seems to have issues at higher RPMs. It's weird, and I really couldn't be bothered with it since my 944 runs fine and is pretty much better in every way.

I am in mastic beach, in the south. probably an hour away from the ferry

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 19:12

He didn't respond :(

Mathias Rios > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
11/25/2014 at 19:32

it may have backfired on us, I'm getting texts looking for sex now...

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Mathias Rios
11/25/2014 at 19:45

So he is pissed you didn't except his trolling? That makes a whole lot of sense.

Mathias Rios > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
11/25/2014 at 19:48

who knows

Stef Schrader > Mathias Rios
11/27/2014 at 01:37

Two words: diqq pics. Or lemon parties. Or goatses. Or y'know, the usual. (Don't Google those.)

And no more 924? :'o( PORRRRR QUUUUUUUUEEEEEE?!

Stef Schrader > Party-vi
11/27/2014 at 01:38

:'o( I'm too broke right now, otherwise, ZOMG!

Stef Schrader > 505Turbeaux
11/27/2014 at 01:38

DO IT

Stef Schrader > Mathias Rios
11/27/2014 at 01:41

Alternate locations: Rennlist or (if you're cool with it being stripped and raced) the 24 Hours of LeMons or ChumpCar forums would be all over this.

Or send this guy horrifying texts back. "I'm sorry, I have this inflamed pustule on my bum and it's been leaking on the transmission tunnel. I'm going to have to see if they can clean it off..."
