ive recently been on craigslist looking for cars alot and i noticed a bunch of car selling tricks.
1. when a car has a lot of miles it's always highway miles. even if it's a 1965 honda with 300,000 they are always all highway miles. wtf it's the same shit.
2. when a car has a motor swap the swap always has less than 100,000 miles but they have no way of proving it. yeah. your 1991 swap has 80,000 miles.
3. when a car has a salvage title it's always super easy and super cheap to get it registered. if it's so god damn easy why havent you done it??????
4. it has a check engine light for some 20 dollar part that is very easy to replace. if it's so easy and cheap why hasn't it been fixed?
5. 20 dollars of fuel last me 2 weeks. this car is a great gas saver. yeah, 20 dollars would last me a whole year if i didn't drive the car.
6. the car has been rebuilt from the ground up. Yet, they have no receipts or pictures or any proof.
7. if a car has mods, even if the car is ugly as hell, it's still worth more than a normal car because it's been modified by someone that probably does not know what they are doing.
8. all it needs is some paint. yep, how i and dents remove themselves. body work is not cheap.
9. And what do people consider good condition these days? dent's, high miles, dirty car, ugly paint, not lined up body panels is not clean, or good condition.
10. The worst thing that people do when selling a car is say that it runs perfectly, but when you see the car it is nowhere near perfect.
There is many more things that people do when posting their cars for sale. these are just some that irritate me.
