For sale
Our car is a wreck, I don’t have a photo of it but whoever has seen before knows that it is. It’s a 1978 Mercedes 280SE, maroon colour. We got it two years ago for $2.6K when it was nice and shiny and sort of vintage-looking, then we spent a bit on repairs. One fine day in our old neighbourhood (St Peters), some a**hole had to splash acid all over it, and the damage was permanent. Ever since, we just didn’t bother taking care of it.
We still took it around (or did it take us around) and it’s served us well. But ever since Ray loaned us his car for a month and we realized how much petrol we couldn’ve saved, not to mention the fact that we simply can’t live without air-con during summer, especially when the heat waves strike. And the engine sort of goes weak after running for about 15-20 minutes (actually the “OEL” level drops too low I think). The odometer isn’t working, it shows something over 300,000km but that hasn’t changed ever since I got it, God only knows how much it’s travelled. I haven’t got money to bring it to a mechanic but there isn’t much point because the mechanic almost refused to fix it saying that it’s a waste of money!
Anyhow, we decided to try selling it for two grands. See what happens..
I wish there was a reality automobile make-over show! I will definitely qualify. If anybody knows of one please nominate me
