post a crappy car to CL for the right price, and it’s gone in less than a day!!!
Wait... was this offer $550 cash just to come look at it!? man why did I turn that down!?
ahh, the ol’ “you gotta pay to run the history because it’s your car” trick. no thanks, eat into my meager profits with unnecessary vin checks :P
in the end, it was gone in less than a day, sorta.
I posted this glorious brown turd for $1100 a month ago. My competition on the local CL at the time was a $1000 same model that had a broken trans. In the end I lowered the price to $800 and immediately had interest. The market sets its own price. $1100, $1000, $900, had a few calls, and one visitor. But $800 had the car sold that same night. With two backup buyers ready to come later the same night if the first buyers backed out. 3-ish other interested parties asking good questions, 1 fool who wanted to pay $200 a month
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
and a voicemail from a gentleman asking me to hold it a month while he got the cash together.

Well, to be fair, the other person offered $200/week and not $200/month. It was still foolish and funny, though.

I just had the realization that the Intrigue looks amazingly like a Ford Taurus of the same vintage. Also, I love craigslist!

I would of thought a running car at $1000 would of went FAST.

it needed work, and the options on denver cragislist for the running car at ~$1000 are pretty high.

Well I for one definitely could have offered you a lawn mower with a bent crankshaft. You could fix it for $5 in parts I swear. I might even throw in some lawn chairs on top.

Owners should run Carfax reports and share them with prospective buyers if asked. It only cost $3 if you know how to use google. Definitely help me sell my car, but it was $13k, not 1.

I got a guy wanting to trade some assault rifles with the vins “scratched” off
And someone wanted to trade me a paraglider!

Sounds legit.
I think I might actually have a hard time turning down a paraglider, just for the story if nothing else!
