Hilarious Craiglist Ad

antiant · January 13th, 2013, 07:34 PM

LOL!

Only 700+ miles on the bike and going for the "gold," a 600cc super sport. Absolutely priceless!

himynameisjoe · January 13th, 2013, 07:39 PM

I see a "1200 dollar 600cc supersport. Crashed beyond repair, but could be used as a donnor bike. Will also accept trades for 250/300 cc bikes" ad in the near future

Jiggles · January 13th, 2013, 08:23 PM

I bought my Ninja 1000 from that same dealer. I love how he states he paid $6500 OTD and wants $5500, whoever buys it also has to pay tax that will make it $6000+ OTD

himynameisjoe · January 13th, 2013, 08:32 PM

Yeah that guy is ridiculous. No one cares about your dealer fees. We're not going to pay them for you. If we wanted to do that, we'd have bought new in the first place!

antiant · January 13th, 2013, 09:01 PM

^ Exactly, it's like reading a "woe is me" sob story.

Wow, so if Jiggles got his 1000 from him, then we can maybe assume he picked up the 300 and now he wants to drop that and get a 600. I'm really curious what the 1000 ad read now. The timeline and "logic" of it all, is too funny. It's like watching a schizophrenic squirrel in the middle of the road figuring out which way to go because it's too confused before it eventually becomes roadkill by its own indecisiveness.

No no mate. He said dealer. As in the guy bought the 300 from the same dealer that Jiggs bought his 1k from. lol

himynameisjoe · January 13th, 2013, 09:07 PM

loll it happens

BlackNinja8 · January 13th, 2013, 09:34 PM

This link and many others like it should serve to answer the question we see over and over: "should I buy new or used?" He's gonna lose $2k in a month

csmith12 · January 13th, 2013, 10:01 PM

He is also retarded

psych0hans · January 13th, 2013, 11:00 PM

His loss is someone else's gain...

Added a pdf of it in first post. Folks - the craigslist ads only work for a short time, the pdf saves the silliness forever.

For users of the Chrome browser, just hit print on any page, and then hit "change" for the printer, and it has a "Save to PDF" option built-in. (Yes, I know that there are pdfcreator and other tools that add that to all programs, but it's still a cool built-in feature).

Built-in on OSX also.

HAHAHAHA thats what caught my eye...FIRM or OBO?!?!?!!?

subxero · January 14th, 2013, 08:59 AM

90% of the ninja250r's for sale on C'slist have something in the write up about. "want more power/moving to bigger bike/got bored, NEED 600!!/i'z be ridin fo 2 wks, gotz mad skilz now, getting 600 supersport/need more power to keep up with squid buddies/.." you get the picture

If i ever put my ninja on craigslist i will have to do my best to make it the most epic ninja250r post of all time. Not sure how i can beat the guy that claimed 209mph but i will try.

Miles_Prower · January 15th, 2013, 06:47 AM

Mine will be put on craigslist when it has 60000 miles+. I'll give it away for $1 plus tax. Maybe I'll make my deal...You buy me a starbucks, and I'll sell you my bike for $1 lol. Please show up with a medium Pumpkin Spice Latte!

SCAM!!!!!!!!

OP,

People will buy for that asking price, and more in the summer of 2013.

vman1313 · January 15th, 2013, 06:08 PM

There is a listing here in Atlanta for a Ninja 650 where the guy says "MUST SELL TODAY...I have fallen on hardship and need money ASAP...my loss your gain...will consider trade."

Ummm so you have fallen on hard times and you need to sell your 650 to get a 1000?!?!?! HAHAHAHA! CRAZYNESS!!!

I dont know much about motorcycles yet but how does a bike from 2004 only have 12 miles on it? Definitely sketchy for sure.

himynameisjoe · January 15th, 2013, 06:22 PM

O.. lol I thought that said 1200 miles... oops

And even if it does actually have such low miles, I wouldn't trust the overall condition of the bike to be that great since it obviously wasn't used much.
