I find it humorously refreshing when I read “Won’t last long!!!”. Probably telling the truth, lol.

Seconds on "patina"!

Code for:

- rust bucket

- too lazy to paint it

- looks like hell but we will pretend it's the new look

- might get you kicked out of the neighborhood

- close the doors carefully please

- the weight of new paint will be the straw that brings this project to it's knees

- I should have picked a different car

any combination or all of the above.

"Serious buyers only" I guess interested wise asses need not apply.

There is no room for humour in a Volkswagen. That is the German way. :evil:

Price: SEE AD

Look in ad & the asshole doesn't put the price in the ad either.

My definition of 100% original must be different than his.

"This car has never been hit..."

Really? Then why is the arc of this wheel arch completely out of whack? Something's not "100% original" here.

Maybe he hit something. Technically the car hasn't been hit :lol:

"Just testing the waters"

1) Why, because the vehicle isn't in your possession yet?
2) Because it isn't yours to sell?
3) Because it's an absolute pile of shit, and you're not sure if anybody wants it?

I've never understood that verbiage in an ad...makes me just as confused as the seller probably is. :D

I hate when people post their "BETTLE" for sale. WTF is a "BETTLE"?!?! :lol:

Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:10 pm

I like when people misspell "Beetle" and "Volkswagen". 😁 I've been late to respond to an ad because it was misspelled and didnt show up on most people's search (Craigslist). And I scooped them up. Bought a nice "Rollback" Vw that way too😁

People trying to sell something using incorrect terms. Do your research! Such as calling it a barndoor because the bus has side cargo doors. Bumbers, Turkish, etc. Drives me nuts.
