What a deal - I mean ... what a moron!

That's funny. He must have changed the $$$. I looked at this add yesterday and it was at $57k for sure.

Might be some truth to that.

Funny story, a neighbor here had a sofa they wanted to get rid of. Didn't want money, just put it out front with a sign that said free for the taking. It never left. Was told to stick a sign on and "Sell" it, so they put a sign on for $50 and left it out overnight, got up in the morning and it had been stolen!

Never can tell.

That's it...I'm sending mine to Barret-Jackson!!!
All of you seem to be unaware that his Vette runs on pure Canadian air which adds considerable rwhp, but only if the Vette is yellow!

I couldn't help myself, I had to "ask a question" on Ebay and ask if he was smoking meth or something! I said what I paid for mine, the only response was, "what year is yours?". Lol. Seriously, for 15 grand less I can get a brand new 2013. I just got an email from Crisswell tonight, they've got 80 Vettes in stock and truckloads of money off... These have 0 miles, 100Kmi warranties, and 0% financing for 72 months... Lol.

I do wonder sometimes if people really are that out of touch that they think something like this is worth that kind of money... It would take a person with not many brain cells remaining to think this far out.

Got another response back!
Have you installed a pdaux3w-cl2 in your c5 yet?
http://freecomwireless.com/index.htm...ette&Model=ZO6

No, is that gonna raise the value of the car by 50 grand! Lol

A renta center I deliver to told me when they leave stuff out with a free sign no one takes it. It's appliances mostly and they do work. If they just leave them out over night they are gone as long as there is no free note. I don't know if some one is only happy if they steal it. Or if they think if they are free the don't work.

Used car prices in Canada is messed up since now the US dollar is on par with Canadian dollar.

US dollar used to be 0.65 cents Canadian.... back in the day.

Well yea... that too...

I had that backwards above. US dollar used to be much stronger than the CDN dollar. I used to take out $100 CDN from an ATM in Canada and when I got back to Dallas I was only showing $63 removed from my US account. Its not that way now for sure...

Unless the exchange rate is now $5US = $1Can, this guy is smoking some good stuff.

This is a very special vehicle, and it was chosen amongst hundreds of other
vettes @ Mosport by the 3 beautiful ladies on the award depicted. The
pdaux3w-cl2 has also been known to pay for itself many times over on resale
value.

Yea! Lmao, it was chosen by 3 ladies alright. That was before you told them the price!

Although it's not reflected in used car prices, the GM dealers in Canada are allowed to gouge buyers of new Corvettes. When I checked last there was about a $25,000 difference between the CDN and US price for a similarly equipped Corvette. The local dealer advertises a 2013 Corvette "from $60,600 MSRP" and that's for a base coupe. I expect they will be asking $100,000 for a C7 when they arrive.

Sounds more like it runs on pure Canadian Whiskey and maybe the owner too.
