Default Can you say "confused"?

I'll post the whole thing since this one will undoubtedly get flagged in the next few minutes. I sincerely hope this isn't someone who is here. And I'm not putting this up for ridicule merely based on price (spot the errors!). I'M a bottom feeder, but you know there IS a point where you're insulting.............

It's not that unrealistic...but then again I am a bottom feeder too...

Last week's automart in Michigan had two 996 TTs listed with the asking price of $34k.

IF he had limited it to 996's, sure........... But throwing 993's into this ad shows ignorance, not only on price, but on the cars themselves.

Yes, this is how ugly guys get good looking girls.

I somehow think that this will invite all sorts of lunatics and this guy will regret posting the ad. You might be able to buy one for under $30K but would you really want to own that car? If you really need to dump your 996TT you could advertise it at a steep discount and still get a lot more more than $30k IMHO.

The ad is no big deal to me. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
