Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

[thumpar]

Not needing TLC. It looks decent but a 1990 Capri with 3.0l for $7200? Even half that price would be high.

And for a 3.0L to boot. It does look to be in great shape, but $7200? Maybe a classic case of stick it on craigslist at a "Im not selling it" price, and see if someone bites.

Or wife wants it sold so he set an insane price so it wouldn't. It originally sold for $10k 25 years ago.

Hmmm... File that away in the "I might need this technique some day" folder.

What can ya say, it is Spokane, those people are nuts, I look at the Spokane list almost daily and they think their stuff is worth gold!

If you don't know how to spell "Planter", "Boat" is easier.
That messes up the deal about the trailer exclusion, though.

Here is the craigs list ad and the boat I just bought .... the boat wasn't an 86 like she advertised ...... it is a 1958 !!!!! The serial number says 57-6681 SuperDuty AA .... and the wheels weren't like new ... one was flat and I had to pump it up to get the boat home.

Hey now, I live in Spokane but I know what you mean. Any decent deal is hard to find and you have to jump on it.

Was shopping for an additional boat and one seller listed all of the options the boat had in the ad. It was loaded...until I got there and he simply listed all the options of the 4 models that were covered in the owners manual of which his boat had none of them. Some of the options were standard on the more expensive model but optional on his model. I couldn't believe how dense he was. He changed his ad removing the non existent options after I viewed it and I explained to him that you can't say it has it because it is in the owners manual but he still kept the most expensive option in the listing, again the boat had none of them. The boat had 20 hours total on it and was nearly new and of course his story was he just bought it from the original owner but never used it.

Reads like some of the Hawaiian Pidgin we heard when I lived in the islands.
