This is a direct quote from a local craigslist ad of someone trying to get rid of their Ford.

"For sale. 2004 Ford F350 crew cab 6 l diesel. 147K miles. Reciepts for $12,000 worth of repairs on the engine in the last 12 months. Running great right now, but I need to sell before it strands me on the side of the road again. I need to buy a truck that doesn't dump all of its engine oil into the cooling system or die as I am rolling down the mountians here in Colorado with a load of horses in the trailer behind me, leaving me with no power steering or brakes on a winding 7% downhill grade, several times a week for months on end, while the dealership changes random components in between butt-cheek clenching episodes. I need $32,000 for this truck, so I can pay off the re-finance with the bank for repairs, and still have some cash to buy a used Chevy or Dodge one ton. I would prefer an out of state buyer so when it takes a dump again, nobody will come by my home and threaten to hurt me for selling them such a turkey. I'll need cash in advance, and will bring it to your home on a flat-bed trailer. I will leave you the trailer rather than risk starting the truck to unload it. Sold as is. Have a nice day!"

I dont know if the guy is serious, but still funny.

 

I hope he gets what he is asking for it. Honesty deserves to be rewarded.

sweet im printing that out for the diehard ford guy at work lol

 

Next time as its rolling down hill with the engine dead, jump out and let it go!

 

Sounds like Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily..or was that backward as Driver Returns On Foot. Nice add

 

nice, a good laugh in the AM is always good especialy a ford laugh ...

 

My brother just sunk $31K into an 09 F250, gas motor. I tried hard to talk him out of it. His choice. The gas motor may be OK, other than he could have got two trucks for that price. As I was telling my buddy that works at a nearby power plant, he said their purchasing dept bought two 09 F250 diesels and they have spent well over $10K on each of them after purchasing, trying to make them stay running. Said they both keep popping head gaskets. We both wondered about warranties, but he's not in that area and doesn't have any info on that.

 

that is outstanding!! i found the craigslist post... the pics are all of it sitting on the side of the road with the hood up!!

 

That is funny!! What area? I would like to send the link to my ford buddy!

 

its in the denver craigslist.

 

Might be worth it for that guy to place $1,000 full page ad in a major newspaper along w/pics. Ford would probably pay the guy to hush up. I feel bad for Ford also with International jacking around so badly.

 

Hilarious! That one will make the "best of craigslist."

 

and they are all at different times too...
