I like the angle of appealing to a greener audience - "Excellent gas mileage".
I was really leaning towards a Prius, but this ad has convinced me otherwise!!!
Also, please be sure to test drive this recently-on-check-engine-light MPG queen with $35k in your pocket in case we run into any problems! J/K, there won't be any problems - it drives straight!
Pay no attention to the only door panel that happened to be damaged by the sun. (Good thing it's not one of those 4-door models that Dock likes!)

No way I would have the intestinal fortitude to deal with this one.

Dock - this is in your neck of the woods, if I'm not mistaken. Just for giggles, show up with a bucket of nickels and see if he lets you test drive it!

Love the idea.

What's this seller going to do if someone from outside the area wants to buy the car sight unseen but only after a PPI? The car would get test driven by a mechanic without cash being present. It looks like the seller is not open to a PPI being done.

Yeah that guy doesn't sound like a great seller. Not that I'm in the market (sadly) but I'd be immediately put off by the "RARE 6 speed manual" disingenuous nonsense to begin with.

And yet ANOTHER smoking deal. About 24 hours left and looks like no reserve. Looks maintained and miles not bad.

If the title is clean, it seems like an absolute great deal. Day Driver Tip for less than 30k?

just my opinion of course.

And I’m a little biased because I’m pro tiptronic.

Not a bad looking car. Assuming it doesn't need a lot of maintenance to bring it up to snuff that could be a good deal.

Too bad the new headlights are the wrong ones (they are Carrera headlights, not Turbo).

Gotta love this ad. "Easy Fix" cracks me up as does the price.

LOL at the price they're asking.

Pity, looks like it was a gorgeous nearly perfect car before the wreck. The interior looks flawless.
