Where is this car, ill take it so you dont have to worry about it. $500 for a S5, california car with a great body, that is a steal!


You can always fix the engine or tranny, for that price, pick it up for the good shape the body is in.

It sounds like all it needs is a complete tune up.

It's a steal if i ever saw one. no rust? clean body? decent interior? a RUNNING engine? TAKE IT!!!!!!! NOW!!!!

That's how i got my car. But some idiot hit it and now it has a dent in the rear quarter panel and the door.

You dumped the clutch on a test drive?

I always thought that wasn't cool?

. <--- That is a period, and generally, you need more than two of them to form a paragraph.

I don't care how tired you are, I've been up for 40+hours at a time and I can still use punctuation.
