"Mercedes Benz wagon, 1991: diesel. Only problem it had was a problem with the glow plug. No dents. Needs a good washing and it'll be nice. $3000"

I do believe I have found the worst wagon ever offered on CL...

Of course the year is wrong, that is a 123 body...

They did have amazingly durable paint in that era, pre clear coat, I bet a power washer would do wonders on it. Might be worth a look...

I often see cars over-priced on craigslist. Ads are free, so why not reach? When truly serious, you later see them on ebay in auction where they go for 1/3 the original asking price.

My 65 Dart was like that. Saw on cl for $2800 and never bothered to see it though only 6 miles away. Later saw on ebay w/ 1 hr to go, so bid $1000 and got it. Had $4500 written on the windshield when it arrived, and a bit more rust than you could see in the photos.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Even worse are ads that say:

~~~~~~~~

Mercedes great car come and get it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mercedes headlights. $200

This one... also Atlanta,,, https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/5658322760.html

Rear ended, needs hatch,(stuck shut from wreck but "lube" should fix it) bumper, tail light body work and what ever else happens to be damaged from speak under. SLS disabled/altered. "Vac leak" have to shut off manually... I never understand this one, it's simple to at lease bypass the bad part of the system (pods) has to shift like crap due to leak also...

But then going on about how its the most sought after, took him year to find and he of course won't entertain "low ball offers" (read I know what I have) derp. With scrap bottomed out, this car is worth 500 bucks at most for it parts.

And no title, are titles issues on older cars in GA? How about insurance requirements? No plate, can't park in the center.

How about the ads for junk that ask 2x what a good one would be worth then state " Going to scrap Saturday AM". with the ad posted on Thursday.

There is a guy that ,for the past 2 years, has listed a car with a bad transmission and states. " I have an offer of XXXX , will accept other offers until the end of month." Gee, with so many people withdrawing their offer, and the offers dropping, there really must be something wrong with the car. ( Tee Hee )
