    Yes, he's nuts, but there's no law against it, unfortunately. That car is worth, maybe, $4,000.

    ^^ Nice example. I'd put the value a bit more than $4k, but not THAT much more......It wouldn't have to be PERFECT to deserve a $13.5k price, but darn near.......

    Not trailer tow or heavy duty suspension packages either. He's gonna have that a while. Wood trim and sides toast also.

    What are the drips on the pavement for? Maybe he took the pictures while the car was wet.

    The drips are pretty much around the perimeter of the car, as though he had washed it.

    But, yes, people ought to pay attention to what's under and around the car when they photograph it so as not to give bad impressions. The car may or may not drip oil, but you don't want to park over a wet spot regardless.

    Those drips look like someone had something oil sprayed and it dripped there.

    At that asking price, is anyone surprised? As nice as the car is, with the faded woodgrain and dirty engine compartment, it is no spring chicken. It is worth maybe $5,000.
