#1 of 21 Best Lines You've Read in Car Classifieds by Mr_Shiftright HOST

I like to collect interesting, absurd, startling, imaginative, ironic or beautifully understated comments that I find while surfing the automotive classifieds. Craigslist is a gold mine but other abound.
 
Do you have any favorites?
 
RULES OF THIS GAME
 
Please DON'T post phone numbers or e-mail addresses!
 
Just identify the comment and if you wish, the type of car.
 
If you have to edit a little for clarity, that's okay.
 
I'll start in the next message!

this from an add on a 1999 Mazda Miata:
 
"The only bad thing I can think of is that it is a salvage title due to the previous owner hitting a truck"

"nice project .... this is the vary rare hardtop gt6 (mark3) model that originally came with a very small 6 cylinder...its good to restore or put a nice little mazda rotary in here , or even a nice 4 cylinder> it will cost almost nothing to register, it is smog exempt also. Missing engine and transmission"
 
 
COMMENT: Well I guess if the engine is missing, you ARE smog exempt!

In dry storage for 59 years. 100%Original Survivor! $59,950.
 
Could it be worth more if it has the 235 Blue Flame Six? With Powerglide?

I'm glad he said "$59,950". It certainly isn't worth $60,000 but $59,950...well, i'd consider that.

There is an air horn in addition to the original.
 
The ad: '73 VW Bug for $3,500. Why would a Bug need an air horn?

#8 of 21 From local newspaper by Mr_Shiftright HOST

" WOW! Look at this! My 2008 Smart car for the same price as my neighbor's 2006 MINI Cooper S!!"
 
Comment: Sir, perhaps you should not have mentioned that....

I have for sale this REALLY used 1997 Dodge. It's in great shape for a car with 170,000 miles on it. Just needs a new windshield and a head gasket. $2000. This car won't last long!
 
I BET IT WON'T LAST LONG, TOO.
