jerky people
So here's my craigslist ad.
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/n...208256883.html
I get an email asking "Is it manual? if so I offer 2000."
I mail him back, enjoy walking.
He mails back
Walking? You're funny, too bad I drive a porsche cayenne, which will probably toast your old vette off the line. Enjoy catching up, and good luck selling that POS.
I tell him your a big man picking on a 20 year old vette enjoy taking your porsche to the shop.
this is currently ongoing I think I just got another mail.
I hate jerky people, anyone really think a perfectly good running vette regardless of year will go for 2k?

He said enjoy taking that vette to the shop everyday.
I told him
You wish these things run forever. Too bad you'll get smoked by a cheap jeep grand cherokee Srt-8 that don't need turbo's to be fast.
Did I mention he has a Cayenne?

The guy sounds like an arrogant jerk but you should just ignore him.
Best line I ever heard about a Cayenne was in some car mag, R&T, I think. They said: "It drives just like a Porsche -- with an elephant on it's back"

I normally wouldn't alienate a buyer like that, but when you are offering less than 1/3 of what is asked, you are a tool.
That price on the 87 you listed is really a decent price if everything is mechanically tight and it has good paint. It needs minor stuff like a wheel recovering(assuming cover hides bad wheel) and a new console cover; but that ain't much $ at all.
Good Luck w/ the sale,

Runs great and drives pretty tight for an 87 as well. It ain't no 07 ZO6 but it's not a POS.

Ibuyvettes, this guy is a jerk....don't give it a second thought. Consider the source. Who would buy an SUV from porsche?? I mean to say, if GMC came out with a sports car...would that be your first choice? Sure, porsche is great but an SUV? When is the 3/4 ton 4x4Porsche Pick-up being introduced?

Walking? You're funny, too bad I'm riding the throne after injesting too many cayenne peppers, which will probably toast my spincter muscle pretty good. Enjoy catching up while I try to dump this POS.

I've been using Craigslist about 3 or 4 years and I can honestly say, some of the biggest morons on the planet reply to ads there. And I say that with all due respect to morons around the world. Never fails. some 19 year old counter culture loving fruitloop always replies with an offer of 50% of asking price. And an attitude like he's doing you a favor.....Don't sweat him.

Not to mention he probably parks his car in his moms garage and lives at home. What a dork!!
Thats a fair price on your nice C-4, hopefully the new owner is someone who appreciates it. Good luck on your sale.

I've learned that Craiglist attracts a bunch of negative sick individuals that must not have jobs because they have WAY too much to say about nothing. Your exchange with this loser is nonetheless entertaining.
