Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

in General
I like to collect interesting, absurd, startling, imaginative, ironic or beautifully understated comments that I find while surfing the automotive classifieds. Craigslist is a gold mine but other abound.
Do you have any favorites?

"The only bad thing I can think of is that it is a salvage title due to the previous owner hitting a truck"
"nice project .... this is the vary rare hardtop gt6 (mark3) model that originally came with a very small 6 cylinder...its good to restore or put a nice little mazda rotary in here , or even a nice 4 cylinder> it will cost almost nothing to register, it is smog exempt also. Missing engine and transmission"
COMMENT: Well I guess if the engine is missing, you ARE smog exempt!
"Owned the car since 2000, Has a missfire, has been sitting since 04 Non-OP just not interested in the car anymore. Have other toys now... This car needs work to be a daily, so unless you have knowledge of these cars or money i would pass this one up"
In dry storage for 59 years. 100%Original Survivor! $59,950.
Could it be worth more if it has the 235 Blue Flame Six? With Powerglide?
The ad: '73 VW Bug for $3,500. Why would a Bug need an air horn? :shades:
Comment: Sir, perhaps you should not have mentioned that....
I BET IT WON'T LAST LONG, TOO. :lemon:
2019 Kia Soul+, 2015 Mustang GT, 2004 Chevy Van, 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible
Not putting mileage in an ad is also lame.
There are WORLDS of disappointment to be found on Craigslist, especially if one seeks a used Honda SI (or pretty much ANY pre-2000 Civic, CRX, or Prelude) or Integra......
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)
2009 BMW 335i, 2003 Corvette cnv. (RIP 2001 Jaguar XK8 cnv and 1985 MB 380SE [the best of the lot])
I guess the engine's not too strong if it won't even start, eh?! ;-)
And really, how does he know we will have it up and running in 30 minutes if he knows nothing about cars (as he himself professes)??!!
It gets better:
I also have the original tittle, but hasn't been registered since 2006.
This one sounds like a real piece of work. But then what do I expect for $300??
;-)

Toyota Celica GT 1988
Engine ran good until the rabbits ate some of the ignition harness.
Needs a transmission.
Please make me an offer and GIT THIS CAR OUTTA HERE!
Needless to say, no price listed!! :-P

Small gas fire in engine makes it hard to justify parts. Great car if you have an engine. For more information, please call.....
I think I have all the information I need, thanks just the same!

1987 RX-7 1300 o.b.o.
- around 203k miles. Used as daily driver.
- Has an oil leak that gets into the exhaust, so if it sits long enough will cause a oil smoke cloud
- Gas gauge only reads if tank is more than 3/4 full.
- Wind sheald wipers will not work on fast setting and will sometimes get stuck on the slowest setting, but the middle setting works fine.
But this one is a real catch, because it has
New rake & pinion (not really sure how it broke in the first place).
I usually get my replacement rakes cheap at Yardbirds. But I always go to the dealer for my pinions. :-)
