I have found some good cars through craigslist, one was a dead camry V6 1997 for 400 dollars - timing belt broke - mechanic told the young blond girl it needed a new motor.

she actually asked 400 dollars and I said - here you go, called my tow and had it towed back - the guys wrecker broke so I got half price on tow too.

new belt kit and some sweat equity later - I drove it for 12,000 miles and sold it for 3200.

I see another car - camry 2005 - car has steelies n caps - guy writes its a V6 in the field columns, ad says motor is bad, asking 1000/- unit has 140 K miles. - three pictures in total, all potato quality - no picture of engine. - car was 85 miles away from me.

I call to ask if its a 4 or 6 cyl - "Its a 4 cyl V6" man.. ... Didnt have any more questions for him.


For real fun times - put up an ad near payday for a Buick Park Avenue Ultra 3800 supercharged. and just enjoy the massive comical stuff you get in.
