Here’s the Goofus and Gallant guide to selling your automobile on the popular Slovenian auction site Bolha.

GOOFUS SAYS
“When selling your Renault 19 turbo diesel online, [screenshot] mention that it’s from 1999, mention the color, and mention that it was rarely serviced for the first 50,000 kilometers and that it’s in good condition. Ask for 120.000 SIT (500 euros) for it. Insist that you want serious calls only, but then don’t mention why the car looks like this:
A real fixer-upper?
GALLANT SAYS:
“Forget about the car. Seriously. And what’s with that dazed and confused guy in blue standing next to it? Here’s what a proper automobile ad looks like:
There’s an Alfa Romeo somewhere in there too.
According to the newspaper Finance, the Alfa Romeo ad drew in 260 prospective buyers, including people from neighboring countries. Now that’s salesmanship.

I think those pictures (of Alfa Romeo) were also sent around in emails as a curiosity. And I agree… that’s salemanship!
Hm… can I get just the girl?
I remember that ad. The girl was student of law and it was said she got an excellent price for the car
No comment about the cars I’m afraid. Just wanted to wish NK Maribor every success this evening and this is my only opportunity to do so before my imminent holiday
A student of law, you say… So I can get the girl AND the car? Sweet!
@ Pengovsky : Yeah, you can. But in case of a break- up or divorce, you’ll get to lose both, as well as half your income because, having studied law, she’ll pluck you dry
So 260 perspective buyers seriously bought into the “this is the actual owner of the car, not some pr0n bimbo” pitch of the ad? My, what gullible people we are…
Common, we all know that all that glitters is gold- good as gold…
I don’t think it’s the owner either. I got the e-mail Masha mentions — it’s clearly an X-rated photo shoot.
@Arf: Ha, I have outfoxed you! Given the fact that she can aford such a car and I can’t, she’d end up giving me half HER income. So I get the girl, the car and the $$$. Aren’t I a caniving bastard?!
@Michael: So do a follow-up! We want to see the …car… from other perspectives as well!
that was hoax
check her
pictures
Thank you had! I’m not worthy!!!
had: that thread in the link just makes me sad. I can’t believe so many people would want to believe so damn hard that the whole thing wasn’t a hoax… Of course it is, it doesn’t take a great brain to figure that much out… I reiterate: my, what gullible folks we are…
It took me 10 minutes to find the car on the 2nd picture
It’s like with all those urban legends or chainmails: you do know (common, of course you did) that this lady longlegs isn’t for real, but you’re still quite ready to … to drap your personal dreams around her and forget all about the real world. I’d say: so what?
Hej, you’re back again! Great!
my bad for taking finance as a serious newspaper. according to that article they actually spoke with her and she confirmed the sale
Pegnovsky : Indeed, you are cleverer than a cunning fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University (ain’t Blackadder just the best to quote from? ;-))
