How to sell a car

I've been browsing craigslist car listings, tossing around an idea to buy a cheap car and convert it to an electric vehicle. While it's still a fairly low probability that I'll actually get around to doing that, it's still fun to look through car listings. My favorite so far had the following:


And here's the kicker, 4 reasons you will never hear from a used car salesperson of why you should buy my car:

1. You will make new friends. My volvo is rather distinct, and I've been driving it for a while now, so anyone who sees it on the road will think its me driving, they will give you a super friendly wave, and then have a moment of realization, have an akward laugh, thus, giving the two of you an icebreaker. My friends will soon be your friends.

2. She has character. It may be hard to believe, but the character vibe that surrounds the volvo, it's not just me. It is the car itself. Thats all I can say really, you just need to be near it to understand. Have a good lean against her, you'll be sold.

3. She is the perfect place to hang out. Thats right, you don't need to find somehwere to go with friends, just somewhere to park. You can chillax in the back, on the hood, or my personal favorite, in the trunk. Not when the trunk is closed of course.

4. You will be cooler. Yeah, I'll go there. Driving this car will actually make you cooler. It will change you, for the better. You won't even need to feel embarassed to sing in the car with people watching. You will make the people who don't sing ashamed. Yeah, you and the volvo will put others to shame.


Unfortunately, it's an automatic and therefore not a great candidate for conversion.

Can I buy this car? I need to be cooler. :)

You could drop the trannie when you drop the engine. Course you would have to install a manual. Nevermind, but cool find.
