Today we will be featuring possibly one of the weirdest ads I’ve seen on CL for a while. A slice from the cake: Now you, a member of the working proletariat, can have a piece of the Bourgeoisie cake and eat it too since these things never break. Enjoy after the break!

Hey!

Hey you!

Yeah you!

You lookin for a car?

Then look no further. This is one mint piece of the 90's ass you can’t just simply pass up. Back in 1992 what kind of crap do you think the Big 3 were peddling to us? Cavalier’s and Escorts. While Japan was silently making the best cars ever built. The Lexus LS400 took 10 years to develop, in that time Chrysler went through 3-7 CEOs.

Now you, a member of the working proletariat, can have a piece of the Bourgeoisie cake and eat it too since these things never break. No seriously, they never break. It’s the Camry philosophy but applied with the best materials and put under a microscope. I could write a list of feats the LS400 could perform that no other car in the world could at the time but it would be too long to read in any sort of timely manner. So I’ll just keep it simple. This thing is nicer than some brand spanking new economy cars and can be trusted to get you anywhere anytime with mileage on it being no concern. There’s a guy out there with nearly a million miles on his with minimal maintenance. There’s few out there that don’t go forever. Trust me. You won’t be disappointed.

-QUESTIONS-

Q: Why are you selling it?
A: I’m a Lexus Enthusiast, and besides this I also own an IS300 and another LS400 amongst a bunch of other Toyota’s and a few domestics. This excess of cars means I have to street park a few of them and Mr Douchecunt (my neighbor) didn’t use his mirrors when reversing one day while this beast was out front and put out the light and scratched up the front and dented it a little. It’s really not bad, but I was gonna get rid of this car anyway since 6 vehicles is too many for a young guy like me. I’ll throw in a case of touchup pearlescent white paint and silver clad paint that matches to the car perfectly at no extra charge if you want to pretty it up yourself. A new front light and cornering light will run you a $100 then you’re golden Ponyboy.

Q: Any other problems fixed? Service records?
A: I’ve had very few problems with it (as should be expected with an LS) but I’ve done a lot recently to keep it tiptop. Recently it had an EGR check engine light on, but I’ve had it fixed (dealership labor is not cheap, you can see why I’d be pissed my neighbor hits my car less than 2 weeks after it’s fixed). It sporadically will come on but turns off sporadically too. The Lexus dealership (they have amazing coffee and pastries while you wait btw) has looked into it and said it shouldn’t do that after a few 100 miles while the ECU relearns everything. They said the work is warrantied in case the CEL stays on for too long. So bring it into Freeman Lexus anytime and show them the VIN if it persists after the next 100 miles or so they’ll take care of you for free. Nothing to worry about there. You can ask for details if you want more specifics. I have a stack of service records dating back 8 years about an inch and a half high. Don’t believe me? This thing is more documented than Bill Clinton’s love life.

Q: Gas Mileage?
A: This thing is a 3800 pound V8 tank with a (good for the time but I mean let’s be real here) 90's vintage slushbox. I get like 15 putting around town, the highway is where this thing shines. For example, I got 27 mpg a few months ago going down I-5 at an average speed of no less than 90. It’s a COMFORTABLE cruiser and does roadtrips like no other. I cracked 30 mpg once but the lengths I went through were pretty crazy.

Q: Will you accept PayPal/Western Union/Trade for riding lawnmower?
A: Will you accept my fist to the bridge of your nose? I’ll take cash thankyouverymuch.

Q: Meet me in my hood/barrio/seedy underpass in Stockton?
A: I’ll travel a bit to meet you, but it will be on my terms. Nice part of town, well traveled parking lot, middle of the day. I don’t want to be killed over an old Japanese car.


SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THIS DEAL WILL LAST AS LONG AS A TEENAGERS FIRST TIME.

DON’T WAIT!

DON’T DELAY!

PS: text me before you call me. And don’t text me at 1am asking if it’s available. The ad will stay up as long as it’s not sold.

Seems reasonable, though I don't love the white over grey. It needs to be Black/Grey or Beige/Dark Beige.
