The $60 Excursion
So I was looking through a local junkyard looking for a Jeep Cherokee for a engine swap Im doing. And I found a running 2001 Ford Excursion 4x4 6.8l V10 with 193,113 miles. They only want $60 for it! But I have 4 days to buy it.
Yeah, it may need some work, and a set of keys. The owner sent it to the junkyard because they lost the keys and it has a few dents/scratches.
I just want to punch the owner in the face for being so stupid, then shake their hand for pretty much giving me the truck.

Not only that but there's at least a couple thousand $$ in salvage parts value there. No way ANY salvage yard still in business is going to let 8000 lbs of truck go for anything less than several thousand $$.

also love that the seats and carpet have clearly just been vaccuumed, you can see the lines on them... so many people detail their cars before scrapping them.
I thought the grey interior was cool but looking at that one it seems so... gray... kinda depressing. I guess my tan isn't so bad afterall, with its mismatched wood grain and all.

UH HUH. Yeah so you misheard the word six (as in 6k) and interpreted it as sixty as in 60 dollars.

I'm waiting for him to say he will sell it to the first forum member that sends him $100 via western union. And then to private message me that an unknown relative has died in nigeria and he needs my help getting the money into the US and will pay me $100,000 just for helping him.

If it's all true, I wouldn't be waiting four days to decide, I'd use four minutes. The first one to tell him yes and the next three to get a flatbed on the phone to have it towed home!

Its ok if you dont believe me, but Im not the type of person to lie about something like this to sound cool or anything. Thats what I was told, unless the guy was joking about it. He said $60, not $600, not $6000, but $60. I didnt believe it myself! Hell, he might want acouple thousand for a some kind of fee. Or I could be to stupid to believe something like this, so sorry for wasting all your time.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, ok, but you have to understand our skepticism. It's your first post and what you claim strains our credulity.
