So many lies in one Craigslist post

http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/2166583901.html

Check out super moron - I hate when people do crap like this

"2007 Scion tC. 70,000 miles, 5 speed manual transmission. $12,000 or best reasonable offer. Paid over 22,000 for car brand new, special order. I am the only owner.

Excellent condition, custom interior, 2007 was last year for 194 hp for vehicle. 18 inch aluminum rims, low profile, z-rated tires. Purchased with extended warrantee on tires and rims, that will go with sale. Still has manufacturers warranty until 100,000 miles. Full panoramic retractable sunroof. Pioneer sound system with the best quality sound. Power everything.

I took excellent care of this car, I had planed on keeping it for 10+ years. Oil changes, tire rotations, and proper maintenance every 5000 miles. Car has mostly high way miles for long commutes. Only driven for two winters, stored last 2 winters, but the car does handle good in the snow. Great gas mileage, I get 30 to 37 miles per gallon.

This is a must see!!!! Nice small sports car, very fun to drive!!

Feel free to contact me with any questions."

I think it might be possible to get 37 haha as I got 34 before but that was not average.. just that one tank because I was driving so conservatively. Maybe he copied and paste info from the wrong source? Anywho it's his fault for not doing his research if that is the case.

Don't stress too much about it, the lies are soo far out there that whoever is dumb enough decides to buy this car is just going to have to learn that life lesson.

He could have ordered it with the supercharger and been near 200hp (notice the price over 20k) - but I would like to believe if it had the s/c on it, he would mention it. Then again, I also read the rest of the ad.

And I call total bull____ on the 37mpg.
