The marvelous Swedes designed this car, supposedly Volvos are born from space shuttles, which make them a little bit better than their retarded cousin the Saab (which was only born from jets) I would not recommend buying this vehicle for ghostriding purposes.

RE:

Its craigslist, if someone wants good pics I can email them. There is a limit of 4 pics, and its best to show an overall view of the car with the limited pics. So, no, mine don't suck. And yes, I have more pics of the car on request.
2. Its a joke dude, if you didn't notice, the whole ad is based of a sense of humor. While it is a serious advertisement, you're not intended to take everything in it as gospel. Your sense of humor is seriously lacking, and the fact that you can't recognize these points is quite alarming.
Every person who has replied to this ad has commented on how much they enjoyed reading it, then they say "oh, and I sent it to my friend who likes volvos" Thus increasing the number of people my ad reaches.
3. no shit it has a limited customer base, which is exactly why I make my ad different, so that it is seen by more than just the typical craigslist surfers. Increasing the chances I'll reach one. (exactly how you came across the ad)
4. Again, Nobody but yourself has taken that comment serious. It is completely obvious that the ad has a sense of rediculousness to it. No one is gonna be like "oh, this guy says it'll go to 500k miles without touching it. I am gonna hold him to it."
I appreciate the criticism though, and actually I have had this car up for sale many times. It has been close to sale everytime, but then things in my life came up that forced me to keep it a while longer.

Stupid fuck doesn't understand how many people I reach with some dumb ass advertisement like this.
