Now I know how to advertise our crappy 2000 Kia Sephia! THANKS!!!
April 26, 2012 at 7:31 pm
OMG, I was just thinking the same about my 1997 Kia Sephia!
April 27, 2012 at 1:48 pm
If I add my 2006 KIA Sedona maybe it will be worth $700.
April 26, 2012 at 9:34 am
That may be the best ad I have ever seen, ever. Joe is a friggin genius.
April 26, 2012 at 9:36 am
This person is a marketing GENIUS. Do you think he would design an add to sell my used hot glue strings? I can’t seem to get rid of them!
April 26, 2012 at 12:03 pm
One of us! One of us!

Fuck, I don’t even need a car, but I’d buy that. That description is a work of art.
April 26, 2012 at 9:52 am
I don’t even drive and I’d buy that. I wonder how expensive my building’s parking is.
April 26, 2012 at 2:06 pm
I have a free parking spot and nothin’ much to do with it. I had been contemplating adding astroturf and white picket fence, maybe a homemade miniminigolf course, but now I feel like I need to truck this car cross-country so that I might gaze upon it.
I’d need to perfect my ladybeard first, though.
April 26, 2012 at 9:35 am
I give a lot of credit for creativity in marketing….
April 26, 2012 at 9:36 am
What fungal douche canoe flagged this magnificent listing?
April 26, 2012 at 9:37 am
Some asshole with no sense of humor. I just looked up the original listing. Damn shame.
April 26, 2012 at 10:17 am
I just flagged the boring repost as “Best of Craigslist”. Let’s give credit where credit is due!
April 26, 2012 at 10:18 am
Have you got a link to the boring repost? I can’t seem to find it.

Let me guess… this goes viral and advertising agencies hammer down this guy’s door.
Well, good for him.
April 26, 2012 at 9:37 am
This guy ought to hire himself out to write ads for other people. That is genius.
April 26, 2012 at 9:40 am
I thought I read “eliminates” manliness. “eminates” is clearly the more appropriate description.
April 26, 2012 at 9:41 am
Damn it. His misspelling of “piece” just deflated my lady boner.
April 26, 2012 at 9:49 am
your being needlessly pedantic ruined mine
such a minor flaw in such a great piece of work
April 26, 2012 at 10:49 am
Damn you shift key for being SO fucking far away and hard to press!

Your being incorrect makes Jesus cry.
April 26, 2012 at 9:58 am
Not to mention his misspelling of “emanates.”
April 26, 2012 at 11:13 am
REAL MEN CAN’T SPELL
April 26, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Honestly, I’m just impressed as hell that he can type with his penis. Now THAT’S manly!
April 26, 2012 at 1:43 pm
Penis typing? In that case, lady boner re-engaged.

Chuck Norris doesn’t spell, spelling conforms to whatever Chuck Norris writes.
April 26, 2012 at 9:43 am
This guy should sell on Etsy. He’d make a a killing with his masterful words and photoshops.
April 26, 2012 at 9:44 am
And that right there is how you do Craigslist, my friends.
April 26, 2012 at 9:46 am
Joe Isuzu’s love child!
April 26, 2012 at 9:49 am
I just had a dick aneurysm. Must. Have. Car.
April 26, 2012 at 9:54 am
“Tires! Door! Steering wheel! Seats! Radio!”
I’m so sold.
April 26, 2012 at 9:56 am
Marketing: LIKE A BOSS.
I hope someone offers him twice the price for the honor of owning the car and an autographed copy of the ad.
April 26, 2012 at 10:11 am
I don’t even care that he misspelled “emanates.” Lady boner is go.
April 26, 2012 at 10:15 am
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BUYING THAT CAR. REALLY!
April 26, 2012 at 11:14 am
REALLY really??? You lucky people!
April 26, 2012 at 10:15 am
Not really.
April 26, 2012 at 11:15 am
Oh.
April 26, 2012 at 10:18 am
So THIS is why my size 11 Nurse Mates nurse’s shoes haven’t sold yet.
I am definitely adopting this format from now on!
How did he get it to be like one big image? Craigslist only lets you post 4 pics and I didn’t know you could make the whole LISTING a pic. So amazing.
(P.S. …anyone wanna buy some size 11 nurse mates? anyone?
;))
April 26, 2012 at 2:35 pm
You haven’t learned anything from Joe, have you?
April 26, 2012 at 10:21 am
The Unicorn got me. That car is SO MINE! Calling NOW!
Not really.
April 26, 2012 at 10:31 am
I tried this approach to sell an old HDTV for a dollar a pound.
It did not work. It was a struggle to even give the thing away on Freecycle.
April 26, 2012 at 8:54 pm
My parents have that TV! (or something similar, anyway. Damn thing took four people to wrestle out of the box…)
April 26, 2012 at 10:35 am
I think I’m in love. And not with the car.
April 26, 2012 at 10:56 am
It’s posted on the Seattle Craigslist – it should go without saying that every owner has had a beard. Beards are the hipster-est!
April 26, 2012 at 10:59 am
My two favorite things about this ad:
1. That the Craigslist title is so normal and unassuming. And then, BAM! Teal rays of genius.
2. The rakish angle of the crown atop the Grand Am’s hood, where the graph climaxes and then collapses.
My Toyota Celica wants to hook up with this guy’s car (4 years her junior), blown gasket and all.
April 26, 2012 at 11:16 am
2. YES. That graph is everything that is good.
April 26, 2012 at 11:16 am
I don’t even have to ask. I’m certain that my husband is perfectly okay with me offering motorboats to this guy from my ample bosom. And if he’s not, this guy is so incredibly manly, my husband will be forced to back down in fear.
I am in awe.
April 26, 2012 at 11:35 am
Holy shit, this is the tits. My nuts bloated to the size of a hippity-hop just reading this ad and is that some motherfuckin’ facial growth. No, it’s not, it’s a beard-sculpture in the shape of one of those hedges you saw in Edward Scissorhands. No, not that one. The one with a bicep coming out of a dragon and covered in majesty. It wasn’t in it. IT IS NOW! Why can’t I fuckin’ stop talking this way? OH GOD, MAKE IT STOP!! IT’S BURNING! IT’S BURNING!!!!!
April 26, 2012 at 12:04 pm
The shear CARness of this makes me want to weep! And winged unicorns too? Surely this “joe” must be a FJL – he certainly should at least be an honorary one!
April 26, 2012 at 2:02 pm
We had to replace our ’93 Ford a couple weeks ago. Bought a small, even older SUV for $750. I wish we’d had the opportunity to buy THIS CAR instead. Fer reals.
April 26, 2012 at 2:19 pm
This looks like it was inspired by the old “Extreme Advertising” motif that was popular on 4chan a while back. Here’s an album of them for those who are interested. Please be warned that they are NSFW and full of offensive language and content.
April 26, 2012 at 3:27 pm
If that car was closer I would buy it though I’m sure it’s gone by now.
I love Extreme Advertising.
April 26, 2012 at 4:14 pm
Where was Joe when I was trying to sell my Dog-Shit-Brown ’97 Grand Am a few years ago. Of course, mine wasn’t so bloated with testosterone that it blew a head gasket, but it did have battle scars from a midnight battle with a Bronco (or the ’83 Ford variety), an early morning standoff with a Jaguar (’95 XJS) and mid-afternoon showdown with the elusive and nearly extinct Cutlass (of ’79 vintage).
April 26, 2012 at 7:44 pm
I think my brother has that car (but green and 2-door) in that year. I expect we will have to bury him in it he loves it so much. Yes he has a beard… crying with laughter right now.
April 26, 2012 at 7:45 pm
p.s. he is the original owner
April 26, 2012 at 7:57 pm
That is the single best craigs list ad I have ever seen.
April 26, 2012 at 9:13 pm
I want that shitty car! Can you throw in the current owner?
