Funny Craigslist Wanted Ad

The poster has probably been burned so many times by flakey CL sellers that he's putting them all on notice, up front.

I'm dealing with the same thing right now. People post a laptop for sale and then behave in the most inane ways. It's like they could care less ...

Guess how many fake responses he got to it, though? I can just imagine all the people screwing with him now.
 
I have $1500 in cash, and am willing to spend up to that amount on a good used vehicle on the 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th of May ONLY.

#1) The vehicle must be within 20 miles of where I live in Battle Creek. I am not willing to drive to East Bumblefuck or wherever elce you may be.

#2) You must e-mail me only. In the e-mail you MUST list the ***PRICE***, YEAR-MAKE-MODEL-Miles on the odometer. I will delete the message if you fail to list this shit.

#3) You must have the goddamn title to the thing, and YOUR drivers licence or state id must MATCH THE NAME ON THE TITLE! If the thing is in your spouses name too, than he or she better be handy with ID IN HAND when I show up to buy the thing.

#4) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ONLY!!

#5) I am not a car dealer, and do not wish to deal with any either. This is a cash deal, buyer to seller, used car dealers are one level above drug pushers in my book.

#6) You must have a phone number!!! Send me an e-mail, if I am interested in your POS, I will e-mail you back with my phone number.

#7) This vehicle must be in running order, as I plan to drive the thing home, or better yet, have you drive it to my house, so I will not get a ticket for driving an unlicensed car.

#8) We will each get a reciept with the VIN# etc on it, in fact, we will have our photo digitally itaken together by my wife with the money, car, title, and cash all toghther. This covers both our butts.

#9) I only want ONE car, vehicle etc. OURS DIED---NOW WE NEED A NEW ONE!!! Got it????

#10) Do not take your $400 POS and offer it to me for $1,500!! I have read every used car ad on Craigslist. I know whom has what.


(NOTE: I expect around 300 offers on this. This including asswipe used car dealers, and buttheads who live a hundred miles away. If you want my money, you better be ready to make my day.)

Now listen up on this part: *******NO!!******* I am not willing to drive to some jig-town with $1,500 in my pocket to meet you. If your car works, you can meet me in the damn police dept parking lot of whatever town we agree to meet in. I have a concealed weapons permit for Christ's sake.

hibeta_tradings@yahoo.com PS: I work every day until 3:00 pm. I read my e-mail when I get home from work.
 
Sadly, I know where this guy is coming from. I've responded to so many ads for rust bucket classic cars just to see if they're worth pull some parts out of (or restoring, you never know) and have talked to so many shady people.

When it's starting to get dark out, I DO NOT want to walk half a mile through the field behind your house to get to some abandoned-looking barn... only to find that the car is actually outside under a tarp and you're just showing me your collection of other rusty vehicles.

I refused to meet up with anyone unless I have a friend or two to come with me. And even then, we bring flashlights, pepper spray, and pocket knives (for what it's worth).
