Up for worst CR ad?

Quote:
European W123 body, 3.0 L OM617.912 I5 diesel engine with aftermarket turbo, automatic transmission, power windows + sunroof, CD-player, dark green exterior, clean tan interior, flawless dashboard, AMG rear bumper, spare tire, all new glow plugs, biodiesel-ready, 207k miles.

I can't sell this car immediately as it's my only means of transportation, and I also need to adjust the valves, replace the brakes/rotors and flex pipe. Located in Albion, asking for $5900 or best offer.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/1036667728.html

Mismatched wheels, bald tires, 200k miles, aftermarket turbo, AMG rear bumper (??), needs valves adjusted, needs brakes, and he's not quite yet ready to part with it even though HE HAS IT FOR SALE. All for $5700 and it's yours.

$5700 or $5900, the seller cannot make up his mind. European body? Bio-diesel ready?

I love the park setting for the photo.

That car has been advertised for sale before; I think ebay... The fake AMG rear bumper is poorly attached and it was rear ended hard at some point.

Wow, I haven't been called a nerd since my sister was a high school teen brat. Sure, I watch star trek, played with legos until I was 18, and many, many other nerd like behaviors, but I have a some good attributes to make up for it. My nerd friends in high school used to call me the daywalker, since I did well in both worlds of high school cliques. (Blade reference)

Seriously, does this handsome devil look like a dork to you?


Look what I had the winning bid on yesterday... Oh yeah!

A 617.912? That's not a turbo motor - or is it some oddball version we never got?

The fool that pays full price for that car needs to call me...I have a house and a mortgage for him, along with a free bridge.

No, you don't look like a dork, but then again I never called you that. I called you a nerd. You're actually quite cute. Wanna date?
