Craigslist facepalm v2.0

[CDGuy]

I just sent him an email (with a white lie attached) to try and peak his interest and make him go "NO WAY!"

When he responds back with much interest, I'm going to lay down my price.

This is my email:


Your car!

I'm really interested in it!

I own a 1993 Nissan Skyline GT-R, Gun Metal Grey Metallic, and it's a clean car.

I'm in Ontario though.

So tell me a bit about your car! NOS? What kind of 20's are those? How many coats of paint is that? Those quad exhausts, do they add any power? I need a bit more info.

Steve.

---------------------------------------------------

I wanted to tell him I have a GT-R, because I figure he'll absolutely go ape shmit over interest from a GT-R owner.

I also will happily take suggestions for replying back to his "informative" email.

i know altezza's came RHD , wasn't aware of is300's tho....

[dah_hunter]

Altezza is the JDM version..

Like: Toyota Celsior is a Lexus LS400
Toyota Soarer is a Lexus SC300/400
Toyota Altezza is a Lexus IS300

Case and point

case and point? that doesn't have to do with anythign talked abotu though..
if ur referring to the is300 rhd thing , im asking if they(toyota) ever made any rhd is300's(not altezza) cause thats what the guy wants .

[QuietChaos]

IS300 and Altezza are the same thing.

The car was marketed as Lexus IS in USDM, stayed as Altezza in JDM.

A RHD car badged as IS shouldn't exist.

HK has Lexus IS300/IS200 and it is rhd. lol so yea..it exists.

[dah_hunter]

Course Right Hand Drive IS300's exist..


Thanks C-Unit for Clearing that up..

[QuietChaos]

Well apparently the guy in the ad was looking for a RHD IS. The IS started production for 99'. I'm pretty sure it's 25 years before it's eligible to be imported into the states. Either way, he's not getting a RHD IS. Or Altezza. Whatever they want to call it.
