Favorite PO lines

[65'1300Deluxe]

Haven't seen a thread like this yet, nut thought it would be fun. My personal favorite is the usual "it ran when it was last parked." A few days later my motor seized. Although, the PO of my totally solid and original 72' also mentioned that he "was going to chuck the body and make it into a sand-rail".

Anyone else have a personal favorite?

When the P.O says "SOLD!" and signs the title.

"This car should be in a museum it's so original".

It was a nice car but the whole interior was redone and was wrong.
Engine was not original either.

"Ain't got no rust in the pans!"

Which was fairly true since 3/4 of the "pans" were actually fiberglass.

"I just redid the entire brake system. You have to pump them once or twice, but all VW's are like that".

"I just changed the oil about a week ago". Oil was black and stunk.
At least it didn't seem to leak.

"restored"

Hmmm, I didn't know purple was a paint option. Or velour seats. Chain steering wheel? Leaky brakes? Great restoration!

"It has the original engine it it".............Really? I, did'nt know that 57 came with a dual port 1600!

"Come see me if you have any problems."

"Rebuilt it myself!"

"I always have leftover parts when I rebuild something."

"They all do that."

"That'll buff out."

[19super73]

"It's totally restored but still needs a headliner, paint and interior."

Or in the case of people who think they can weld, "I did the body work myself" as you are looking at their hack jobs.

"pans are solid"

*looks under car, I can see a huge hole in this solid pan.*

"I want XXX, but the engine needs a full rebuild"
"ok, then I'll give you X"
"deal"


one fuel pump later it's running

[rgdedge]

It has a brand new rebuilt motor.
Only made a few 68 super beetles.
VW's never have a heater.
It will pull the front wheels up at every red light.
If you take them hoses off of the shroud, it will run cooler.
It's got a Porsche motor in it.
