This is sad but funny (ebay Legend)

colinc · 02-28-04, 07:40 AM

Every once in a while I'll see this. A nice legend for sale on ebay, said to be in good running condition, etc...... Check the pic of the instrument cluster. See anything that's "not right?"http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2463079169

Mastervtec · 02-28-04, 07:57 AM

I lived in Santa Ana for 3 years. Used car dealerships are mostly shady in that area.

AngelaTheLegend · 02-28-04, 09:04 AM

i dunno about you, but i would love to have a legend that overheats!!

oh thats right, I ALREADY HAVE ONE!!! actually, it hasn't in a while

i think we should all send him e-mail!

Searchin4acoupe · 02-28-04, 09:09 AM

I especially like the black badging on the rear deck that they didn't bother to remove or mask. Very sharp. It looks like they painted that thing with a can of rust-oleum.

Edit: would it be unethical for me to email anyone who bid on that and clue them into its problem?

Edit again: nevermind.. no bids

colinc · 02-28-04, 09:26 AM

This is not the first time i've seen a spiked temp gauge on an ebay Legend. That's a good reason not to buy a car sight unseen, since the people who write the descriptions likely aren't mechanics, and may not be looking out for your best interests. At least they took a pic with the engine running so you can see what's going on.

Rumnarv · 02-28-04, 11:03 AM

I WANT THE FRONT SEATS ! ! ! SUCH NICE SHAPE ! ! !

Dre Linn · 02-28-04, 11:21 AM

Hell, even the engine is cleaner than mine!!!

*thinks*

*dies laughing*

Agent Smith · 02-28-04, 11:28 AM

Wow, that's pretty bad. I certainly don't condone lying or selling $h!t to some poor unsuspecting soul - but if you have to do it don't make it that obvious!! I'll bet that car doesn't make it to its new home without letting loose.

Nice temp gauge. Whatta POS. It screams "Parts Car!"
