Craigslist Story #2 How to sell your car.

Poor etiquette. Always ask before running through the gears on someone elses car. However, a perfectly good guibo doesn't go south just because some tool floored the car once. I'd say the parts are on you.

I would never test drive a car and not ask to take it through the gears though. Might miss something important.

No one wants to buy iXs right now anyway. They all want to buy in a few months, or after they sell their car, or if they don't buy this other car that they looked at last week, or blah blah blah...

Wow, you have a car thats falling apart by your own admission and you blame the person who happened to be driving it at the time. Sounds like my grandma's logic. " I've had this ________ for 20 years and you come along and break it." Of course it did not have anything to do with the fact that it is old and frail. I would not want to buy a car that could not handle a hard turn or a quick shift during a test drive. When i sell a car i encourage abuse. Gotta let people know they are not buying a pos.

:up:

If I had a dime for all the poorly maintained shit boxes I've test driven.
