From the rather brief ad:
Serious buyers only! Hehehe LOL!

This must be someone just testing the waters...

I'm really tempted to do the same with my car....!

$17500 FIRM

then I'd "settle" for a Prius (seen the 2G lo mileage used for $16K...and I can manage about 55+mpg out of it on my commute to/from work....record was 62mpg).

My 2000 is in better shape than that! Looks like the cat used it as the litter box.

You'd think for that price he could at least afford to get the paint touched up, clean and wax the car, and get those stains out of the upholstery!

A former good friend of ours, now deceased, would usually buy a house somewhere and list the sucker immediately for tens of thousands over the normal price. For some reason, buyers would immediately flock to the open houses and make ridiculous offers, even though the house had been for sale just weeks before for lots less.

I bet during the brief time we had to enjoy his company, he flipped twelve houses in a little over five years. That was his "Porsche" money...

As the hoary old quote goes, "No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public." I'd be really tempted to list an Insight for slightly insane (to us) prices right now... supply and demand and all that rot...

Maybe they're hoping to make a quick sale and buy a new Aptera . That would just about cover one ($26-30,000)!
