Craigslist XF post by a knucklehead
I almost replied to this guy to give him a good thrashing. Decided to post here instead. Maybe give a potential buyer a heads up.
CHICK MAGNET CROSSFIRE BY MERCEDES BENZ 275HP FS & FOR TRADE
CHICK MAGNET CROSSFIRE BY MERCEDES BENZ 275HP FS & FOR TRADE
The guy represented the car pretty well. I doubt he is trying to screw anybody. Certainly better than some of the other for sale crossfires I have seen advertised on craigslist. Based on what he is asking and the way he listed the car, I would say this guys seems legit and so does the car. So he thinks he added a 60HP chip to the car. Maybe he bought it and installed it... and actually believes it. Not everyone is as smart as the people here in this forum. I am willing to bet he was being honest and really thinks he has an extra 60 horses.
I thought you guys would be more aggitated by the "it looks like a camaro" statement

This is why you are supposed to look at the car and examine it before you buy it. You can't believe anything that you read.
New clutch after 57K? Eeeesh. 
And a $1,700 exhaust... I'm assuming that's a factory replacement, since Meisterschaft doesn't have us in their applications listing yet
... which begs the question... what happened to the OE exhaust?

I would love to read that!!

57k miles (and a clutch change) in a car from San Francisco probably isn't that unusual. Depends souly on the drivers "manual" skills.
I'm wondering if it isn't a "Base" car since he mentioned new leather.
Changed the front bumper, so he may have changed to the silver Air Cleaner.
Would be nice if they had remembered to mention what year the car is.

I think if someone told me that my car looked like a new Camaro I would have to sell it.
All this time and I thought I was "A Chick Magnet"

I sent the seller a email telling him I am very interested in buying and would like to arrange a time to see it. We'll see what I get back.

Of course, NOW I know it's an SRT in Florida.

I get the idea that people like to post fake stuff on CL just for fun.
(Of course, SOME posts are to get you to meet them somewhere, where you find yourself
face to face with 4 or 5 goons who will turn you into a newspaper headline the next day.
Happens around Atlanta quite often.)
