Buy a Car, Get 12 Free Dinners at Monti’s

June 23, 2009 at 4:59 am (Uncategorized)

Somebody please buy this man’s car…he invoked the power of Monti’s:
Skip to the last few lines. A sales campaign that made such a powerful impression that, ten years later, it is still being echoed on Craigslist…

phoenix craigslist > east valley > cars & trucks – by owner
2000 Chevrolet Cavalier – 2dr 2.2 liter – $1700 (Tempe)
——————————————————————————–
We are in a recession, right? That means people are strapped for cash and looking for good deals, right? I am perplexed. I have been posting this car on Craigslist now for the last month or so and I have received little feedback. I’m beginning to think that the news reporters have more of a need for good deals on Craigslist than the general public does… maybe I’ll send this posting to Kent Dana or Lin Sue Cooney.

This really is a pretty good deal – a solid car priced $500 under KBB value (yes some minor repairs are necessary, but if you can’t accept that fact when you are looking for cars in the under $2k price range than I don’t know what to tell you… keep searching for Atlantis) with plenty of life left in her.

Here are some specs:
-110k miles (most from freeway commutes)
-Automatic Transmission
- Great A/C
- Meanest 4 cylinder engine in the Southwest (no contest)

Where’s the beef? Here’s the beef:
- The rear right brake sticks upon coming to a complete stop. It easily ‘unsticks’ at the pressing of the accelerator. Truly a simple, inexpensive fix. Old lady Geraldine next door could probably fix it in one Golden Girls commercial break.
- There is minor body damage (no structural damage) on the front end thanks to my careless roommate that backed into it when going to work one morning (and that’s why you go to bed at a reasonable time, children. So you don’t wake up one morning in a zombie-like state, head to work looking like a slouch, and back into your loyal roommate’s car, thus jeopardizing his chances of making a quick and honest sell on Craigslist when he could really use the extra cash).

That’s about it for the posting. Give me a call (602-412-7093) or send an email (jeffrey.rose.1@gmail.com).

Call in the next 15 minutes and I will throw in a free box of Omaha Steaks! Don’t like Omaha Steaks? No Problem! Instead I will throw in 12 free dinners to Monti’s la Casa Vieja and the last traces of dignity I have left. (thx for the sales strategy Empire Glass)
