    I'm looking for a full size Bronco, so I check CL religiously for those, Cherokee's and 944s because why not. So today I fond this which is hilariouos. It's obviously a response to a seller after a prospective buyer looked it over. I will link it, but also cust and paste it if I can.

    1985 Ford Bronco:

    here are the specs if your interested: -217,292 miles -transmission is in good shape, 5th gear and reverse work but the rest dont -the V6 engine was replaced with a V8, gas mileage is pretty good - i got about 12 mpg highway the other day but that was with premium -power windows but you have to turn a crank to roll them down -tape player - it does play but there is a def leppard tape jammed in there and it won't come out. great for def leppard fans! -i am a smoker so you can smell it in the car, but ill throw in an air-freshener for an extra 10 bucks -it came with front airbag, but it deployed in my last accident and i didnt get it replaced. broncos are safe though so you wont have to worry about an airbag. -the air conditioning does not work anymore, but it used to and was really cold. -heat works if you drive the car for a while -the frame is bent due to an accident with a tractor trailer, but as long as you dont drive over 40 you shouldnt have any problems -it can seat five which is good for kids, but the back seat has beer and urine stains. they have been professionally treated with windex -the rear window is missing, but has been repaired with saran wrap -you will need to have some minor repairs done: new brakes, the rear axle is missing, needs a new radiator and coolant system. i spoke to my friend who knows a lot about cars and he said it shouldnt cost more than a few bucks. im asking for $7,500 but am willing to negotiate. let me know what you think

    thanks, Larry

    Then when the wife asks why his hunk of junk isnt out of the yard yet, his response is that he's put an ad on craigslist and doesnt know why it wont sell... My dad's pulled that move once before but not quite like that one. He just asked for twice the going price, my mom didnt know the difference. heheheh
