Uneducated Owner
 
Saw this ad on craigslist and it makes me wonder where ppl get this information from. :bonk:

"This was the first generation of Toyota's partnership with Subaru to create this driving experience.
The original was and is still the best, the second generation from scion added a spoiler tacky, and Subaru's model the BRZ they put in a 6 cylinder boxer engine that review's stated "overpowered the handling, because of the cars light design".

Oh dear Jesus.
That's...Kind of depressing.

ntron1 02-09-2014 07:49 PM

So my BRZ has an overpowered 6 Cylinder? Who would have thought....

Tromatic 02-09-2014 07:53 PM

"Manuel six speed" as well. Manuel! Upshift!

dnieves 02-09-2014 07:54 PM

Poor car is owned by an idiot.

tonylop33 02-09-2014 07:57 PM

I going back to the dealer to have them install my missing two cylinders.

Noz 02-09-2014 08:05 PM

6 cylinder? I guess some people got screwed out of more than 2 extra cylinders. Just checked my car and found this:

Attachment 66675

Huh...................................:drool:

N_A 02-09-2014 08:26 PM

Uneducated? More like making stuff up.

ericmpena 02-09-2014 08:34 PM

Someone can't really be that dumb. It's gotta be fake.

Carlitoz3 02-09-2014 08:35 PM

Whatever it takes to sell it?....

AznKirby 02-09-2014 08:37 PM

I wonder if the seller is on these boards. Hah!

Herndon 02-09-2014 08:39 PM

I would love to know where people come up with this stuff. i remember a video a few years back where a guy had mustang i believe with gtr badges and a lot of other nonsense. But he sounded like he truly believed everything he was saying about his car.

Revzyuu 02-09-2014 08:40 PM

LOL wanting $23000 for an FRS with 26000+ miles on it...that alone is the stupidity that should drive most away.

"Her name is Emme and she is looking for a good home preferable not a first time stick driver."

He wrote this inaccurate ad and he's worried about people who don't know how to drive a "manuel"?

Priorities.

Lucky.

daiheadjai 02-11-2014 02:36 AM

I've never driven Manuel before - I've only driven Otto.

How sad. Reminds me of a track guy who said how do you like your FR-S. Why did you not get a BRZ. They have a stock Turbo in it. I proceed to tell them these are cars are 99.9% the same and are made strictly by Subaru. Same engine. Some are people are just grossly mis-imformed.

Coreyviper 02-11-2014 03:20 AM

Him selling this car is probably for the best. For the cars sake.

djmm 02-11-2014 04:50 AM

Further proves people will tell you anything to get the car sold. Who is Manuel six speed by the way? Is he the boyfriend of Lisa two timer?

gily25 02-11-2014 04:33 PM

Bad posts are sometimes up as a way of phishing for emails so they can spam you. He knows some people will email to say "are you f*ing stupid????" and in the process they give up their email.

txptkxhse3291 02-11-2014 08:59 PM

He must of had a little too much sun...or a more reasonable explanation is that he is a complete idiot!

Vincenttam 02-12-2014 06:27 AM

I wouldnt ever buy a six cylinder car with only 200 hp in this day and age. Made sense with my 97 Avalon but not 2014...

R.S-HawK 02-12-2014 07:36 AM

Obvious attempt to upsell.

quasi86 02-24-2014 02:35 AM

Asking $23k for a manual trans. and 23k plus miles. I'm thinking his wife made him put it on there and he doesn't really want to sell it!

thank you for reading. sent using Tapatalk! (wouldn't want to forget that)
