(wow, all caps and double exclamation points. seller must be really excited about this listing!!)

Sometimes I get a little excited as well. He probably has a touch if ADHD. Happens to the best of us.

Rewritten:

'95 Dodge PU long bed. R title, no AC, 50k junkyard motor and trans, cap included.

It's not all that exciting really.

In reply to Giant Purple Snorklewacker:

Maybe he got bored and started to Joe in there.

LARGE PRINT FOR THE HARD OF HEARING.

I went deaf from reading it because he was screaming so loud.

Yeah, I just posted my Miata up for sale and have been reminded of the fun of Craigslist again.

Got one this morning:

" A KBB fair price for the car is $1,510 without the track mods, and I suspect that your car has been "aggressively" driven."

Well, no duh it's been "aggressively" driven. What gave that away? The fact that the description says "It's set up for use as a street, track, auto-x, and drift car," or the pictures of it lapping Thunderhill? And you can ignore KBB for this car, too. Try looking at prices on comparable cars.

WHAT?!

YEA-UH!!

^^^Awesome .

WHAT'S AN "R" TITLE?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PUTTING A FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL INTO THE COMPRESSOR FIXED IT!!
MAYBE THAT'S WHAY IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN!!
BUY THIS, REMOVE THE $500, FLIP IT!!
AND KEEP THE $500!!

OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT, GENERALISSIMO FRANCISCO FRANCO IS STILL DEAD!

R title=rebuilt i'm guessing.

Guys, guys guys you are gonna blow the welds on the forum software with that hundred shot of caps lock you keep hitting.

As long as I don't have to replace the rings on the intertubez, I'm fine.

Sounds like a non enthusiast, if they think the mods decrease the value. I know Beer School calls, but do you really want to let somebody like that have it?

Just tell him, "I suspect you'd be happier with a different car.."

He said he'd offer me $2100 for it with mods, and claimed he used to track his '99 Miata. I figure the car is worth at least $3k, probably more like $3.5k. KBB is so meaningless on a car like that.

Got another good one, a guy who wanted to trade me for his "turbo Miata" if I throw another $1000 on top. Somehow I predict that car being a basket case.
