Worst - 97 Maxima

Best was a little more difficult. I had to choose two.

1977 Saab 99 gl

or

1966 Sunbeam Tiger

Personally, I'd go with the Tiger every time, but I know we have a good may SAABafiles around.

ALRIGHT! I love this one becuase CL always, always, ALWAYS abuses "rare".

The good 1966 Ford Galaxie 428:

The Bad 2003 Trailblazer:

Unfortunately they both fail at getting the entire vehicle in one picture because they are too stupid to turn the potato sideways.

Best - This is tough. There are a bunch of neat cars in my area with the word "rare" in the listing ('71 Saab 9-6, '57 MGA, '73 VW Fastback, '29 Ford Phaeton) but I'm gonna have to go with this 1937 Cadillac La Salle for its old-school gangster looks.

Worst - 1996 Sebring "Seabring" Convertible (it's 95% restored!). Now, I don't know production numbers, so maybe this car is, indeed, rare. It's still the worst car I could find that used the word rare.

Best of the rare: 1930 Cadillac V-16 (!).

Kinja'd!!!

Worst of the rare, and there were a lot of contenders: a salvage-titled, heavily damaged Honda Accord ad titled "2007 Honda Accord coupe project car needs work." Yikes.

I always wanted to know just what the hell goes through someone's head when they take pictures like that for their ads. Don't they want to sell the car? At least remove it from the driveway so you can get a shot of the whole car.

The same ad has been listed in multiple states so it is most likely a scam.

Best has to be this 599 GTO: http://montreal.en.craigslist.ca/cto/4384920372…

Worst is this 2005 Chevy Impala with special edition blue interior: http://montreal.en.craigslist.ca/cto/4341632547…

I just...I just don't get it.

I mean if the Galaxie was priced right it wouldn't have been on CL for over 6 months, the car should sell itself. If I had the money I'd make an offer in a heart beat, great car.

But no Trailblazer is worth suffering through this crap over.
