This Craigslist ad for a “piece of sh*t” Ford Escape went live 17 days ago, but according to Redditor Jarvizzz, the thing sold in less than an hour. I don’t know much about cars, but I guess $700 seems like a pretty solid deal for even a Ford Escape of questionable sh*ttiness?

Here’s the full text, if the screenshot isn’t working for you:

For sale:
Sh*tty ford escape.
Runs like sh*t.
Stalls.

As someone who dumped a “piece of sh*t” car a few years back, I can totally empathize with this attitude. I think I had that car for close to 10 years and put more money into it than most people put into, like, houses.
