It doesn't mean a title in some other persons name.
It doesn't mean a bill of sale from some 3rd party whose whereabouts is unknown.
It doesn't mean lien sale paperwork.
It doesn't even mean titled correctly, but not registered for ten years and hundreds in penalties due.

Great point.

Rare 3 door burb.

Or "I know what this is worth, Make offer" Yet still no price listed.

I always do and they always get mad.... well, except once, and I had to do much fast talking to avoid buying the car (which, to this day, I actually wish I had bought it -1956 Chevy belair wagon for *sob* $700)

My response to the "just needs" is "why don't you just" - after all, as it seems to be the first words out of many's mouth... just like the offer bit, they usually don't like my suggestion of what they should just do - they say I'm blunt and rude

I've been doing a/c repair for many years.
And,I agree,the phrase-"Just needs some freon" is the most common complaint I hear!
If it needs freon,it has a leak!
Leaks cost time and money to repair.
One can won't fix it!Ever!It will still leak.
And,usually,it's a waste of time and freon.
But,it can get very expensive to rebuild a system,so most just sell the car and buy one with working a/c.
Or, do without.
Mike.

If I had a nickel for every "mint" and "rust free" truck I ever looked at I could buy a genuinely mint rust free truck with the money.

**4X4GMC1972** · 12-14-2016, 12:01 PM

Original factory rally wheels.

"Full documentation".
I found a prospect 200 miles away and, after seeing pictures and talking to the owner- who claimed to have "all the original documentation", went to see it only to discover he had absolutely NONE of the trucks paperwork (or even old pictures). The only receipts he had were the engine rebuild and some body rubbers.
What a waste of time!

Special order “Heavy Half” 8 lug axles, AND a 396 in a SWB K10.😂

stomper · 09-03-2019, 12:54 PM

Probably cut the dash in that Wagoneer for the CD player.

Camaroguy · 12-14-2016, 12:08 PM

Probably my favorite is when looking for 67-72 c10's, it doesn't say in the listing if it is a swb or lwb and every picture is taken at the "perfect" angle so you can't tell.

ranger danger · 12-14-2016, 02:26 PM

C10/20 4x4! Really! Either it's a "c" or its a " k".

Is it really a "K" or is it a converted "C"?

I'm willing to admit that I don't know everything and also when I'm wrong but, I am under the impression that a K is 4x4 and a C is not.

The only fender badges that had a K were K5's (blazers). Pickups got C10/C20 badges regardless of whether they were 4X4 or not.

stomper · 12-14-2016, 02:34 PM

My favorite is 'all original' then the ad proceeds to describe new paint, new 350, aftermarket wheels, engine chrome kit. Dude, if it's got all that it's not original!

**FL71C10** · 12-14-2016, 02:44 PM

The "usual or "typical" rust. Usual for the desert? or the rust belt? How about being more specific?

DarkFlounder · 12-14-2016, 02:48 PM

"Restorable"

Well, jeez, anything is restorable if you throw enough time and money at it.

kingNothing · 12-14-2016, 02:57 PM

67 c10 with rare small back glass

TwoFiftyShifter · 12-14-2016, 08:15 PM

"Similar trucks go for xxxx amount"

**HO455** · 12-14-2016, 08:41 PM

Patina! That term just bugs me. Patina is what crafty women do to furniture that isn't old in order to con someone into paying too much for it. Our trucks worked hard and as a result they have scars! Not some distressed finish. Okay that's my thirty second rant. Please return to your regularly scheduled programming.

These are three of my favorites and are usually accompanied by "make an offer" and no price. I just skip right on by these no matter how nice they may appear.

HAHA,,
Seems many need to back off the caf and go to de-caf.
