The perfect Craigslist car ad
There are a wide variety of ways to put your car up for sale, but nothing can quite match the perfection of a well-written Craigslist ad, which can be informative, detailed and hilarious - for free!
Craigslist is like the pirate wharf of the Internet, wth many dangers and terrors to avoid. I found an unbelievable price for a laptop on Sydney Craigslist, answered the ad only to get a suspicious reply advising me to mail the money to a shady location, then they would mail me the laptop.
Still, it can be an entertaining read, like with this, the greatest car ad on Craigslist.
It's a very detailed ad, with descriptions of all the faults of the car, but there's so much storytelling involved that it becomes a great read:
I HAVE seen that movie and, no, there's nothing to worry about when your car shrieks at you like a barnyard animal being slaughtered.
I love this line:
I can relate because I have a car in the EXACT same condition. Well, it'd have to be nighttime, too, for you to ever think that my car possessed no flaws. Nighttime and raining, really.
Actually, on further reflection, there's no hiding the disastrous contempt that most human beings would show for my car, and that's the way I like it.

"1997 Black Infiniti J30 4D Automatic with Leather and Moonroof. - $2200 (Koreatown)"
It's a very detailed ad, with descriptions of all the faults of the car, but there's so much storytelling involved that it becomes a great read:
"There’s something wrong with the fan belt. Again performance doesn’t seem to be affected much, though, when driven under 70mph, it does make a metallic shrieking noise like the Ringwraiths from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. If you haven’t seen those films then I suppose it sounds a lot like a pig being stabbed. This is nothing to worry about if you live in a bad neighborhood and don’t need to impress anyone."

I love this line:
"Generally speaking, most of the cars flaws will go unnoticed if your passenger has had more than 4-5 alcoholic beverages."
