After having advertised four cars for sale on internet forums, I have come up with a summary of the typical responses:
- Nice ride mate! If I had (insert $amount) I would buy it today!
- Awesome car! If I hadn't just spent $1000 on a Ford Laser I'd be able to afford it!
- Will you take (insert offer for 1/2 the price)?
- Wow! Love the car! Will you swap it for a (insert car valued at 1/2 the price)?
- I would buy it if I had the money (no duh!)
- Mate, if it's still for sale in 10 months, I'll buy it for sure!
- I'll buy it as soon as I have a job, enough money, sell my current car, find a new girlfriend and my dog doesn't have worms anymore.
I don't care!!! If you're interested in a car but can't buy it, I don't wanna know!! Really... as interesting as your missfortunes may be, it's okay.. you don't have to tell me!

Dude, that's something I'd expect from Cool1...
I think that the thesis has morphed you into a Cool1/draven beast....

Gotta reach your target market!
Tradingpost and Unique Cars would be the go! Not toymods forums where everyone is making fast cars for under $10k etc
But if i did have the money, id buy it for sure!

Very very soon actually... I'm just waiting for Paul Pyyvaara to finish his adjustable rear camber mod so I can plagiarise his work.

One can only consider what Mr20Valve had to go through when he put his car up for sale.
At least that car was sold ... eventually ...
