There is / was a 2007 Prius with 32k miles on Auto trader right here in Pocatello for $14,700. I called as soon as I saw the ad, nothing but voicemail and no response. The pictures look more like southern UT / AZ.

I doubt the Lucas electrics would survive the soaking in seawater.
I dunno... Soaking in seawater might actually improve Lucas electrics. Couldn't possibly hurt to try

All hail Lucas, Lord of Darkness!

You know that the reason Brits drink their beer warm is that Lucas makes refrigerators, right?

Tee hee! Presumably keeping your beer cold (and all that air conditioning) is why Americans and Canadians have an average carbon footprint of 20,000kgs per person per year, compared to us Brits and Europeans at 10,000kgs per year....

the sad thing is that the world population needs to average 3,000kgs per person to live on the Earth sustainably

Default Re: Another Craigslist Scam

The below site compiles a listing of Insight for sale on multiple websites. You can quickly spot the scams as the same car will be listed multiple times on different sites. Currently, there is one Insight listed on approximately 100 different forums. http://www.jaxed.com/cgi-bin/green.c...onda%20insight

I responded to one of the postings and informed them I wanted to puchase the car. They responded with the usual - we had to move and the car is in another state at the shippers so send us a check with your shipping address and it will be there in a matter of days.

I responded that I was a refugee and would have to send him a Nigerian bank check for double the amount of the asking price and that he would need to cash it and send the overage to me. Surprisingly, I received no follow-up response.
