Your most hated 'for sale' advertising pitches?

[Matt T.M.C]

Too true!

[Charlatan]

Oh, but "genuine reason" can include: engine about to shit itself, suspension hanging on with cable ties, and duct tape holding the rust together. Those are all genuine reasons for sale.

A mate was selling his Freelander with 'genuine reason for sale'. The genuine reason was it was a piece of shit and he didnt want to be footing the bills anymore ... which translated into 'going o/s' for any prospective buyers.

This pitch made me face palm

yes its a older shape liberty back, 2006 b4 front all widebody. and wrx motor turbo Inside is all black leather.. SOUNDS LIKE 3 WRX'S

From the SAU forums

[Stang]

I bet it only sounds like 2.

[jambo]

shouldn't he be driving a skyline with intelligence like that
perhaps that's the reason for sale

[Mr Purple]

Hypothetically, a flat 12 would be the closest thing to sounding like three WRXs.

For Sale - Porsche 917. Sounds like 3 WRXs.

[Babalouie]

Wouldn't the pulses all merge together with 3 WRXs and so that would just sound like a normal engine?

Or...maybe it just sounds like one WRX revving to 3x idle rpm?

Actually, it just sounds like a VW running on three cylinders.

Except every gearbox within 3 blocks will spontaneously explode.

I bought a classic Motorbike a while back for $800 which was the asking price. I showed up with $800 in my pocket and a trailer, just in case I wanted the bike. The thing looked genuine, I politely asked if he was negotiable and he said he really should stick to the price, so I handed him the 8 bills.

4 months later I decided to sell it for various reasons. Placed a no BS advertisement for $900 with full intentions of letting it go for $800 ( what me an the previouse guy genuinely believe it's worth ). The amount of lowball phone cash offers I received was ridiculous. I told them all - the thing is worth $800, if you just bother to come and take a look at it you will agree. Only one guy bothered to have a look - and Indian guy caught two buses to my house and got there at 10pm at night. Even though I'd told him over the phone I wasn't budging on price, he wouldn't pay it so he had to catch two buses to get home as I stuck to my guns .
