Someone posted the ad below in the classifieds section and I thought it deserved a mention on the main page just because of the effort they put into it to try and make it creative:
Are you tired of paying to have taxi drivers take you from point A to point B? Are you tired of climbing into taxis only to find that the inside smells of bad body odor or smoke? Do you want the FREEDOM that comes with car ownership, but the thought of possible future maintenance expenses has got you scared?
Well let me put your mind at ease, car ownership in Kuwait does not have to be scary. The key to SUCCESS with buying a used car in Kuwait is to find a car make and model that’s AFFORDABLE and RELIABLE. Ever wondered why so many taxis in Kuwait drive Mitsubishi, Lancers? Well I’ll be the first to tell you, it’s by no means because they are as glamorus as a Mercedes Benz, it’s because they are AFFORDABLE and RELIABLE. And now’s your chance to own one. That’s right, we are selling our super sharp 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer GLX that has only 70,000km (43,495mi) (1.6-litre, Automatic Transmission, Power Windows, Power Steering.)
We bought this car new directly from Mitsubishi and have taken care of all the routine maintanace. The car has never been in any major accidents and we just put on a new set of tires this year. It’s immediately available and with a price of only 2400KD obo, this opportunity won’t last long. Call Joshua today at 6653-9801 to set up a test drive.

XDD Perfect
Wow. Now is my chance to own a Lancer?? For real? I’ve been waiting so long for this day to come. Haha.
Who is the seller trying to allure or fool? Anyone who has been for sometime in Kuwait already know the fact that most taxis are of TOYOTA makes and not MITSUBISHI!!
Despite all that sales pitch, I doubt the seller can sell that Lancer for 2400KD as better brand cars (Toyotas & Nissans) are available for lesser price. 🙂
I liked the (43,495 mi) preciseness
Makes me believe it is exactly 70,000 not 1 km more or less
Hi i.b.mac,
Actually after today’s driving it’s at 70,067km. Honesty is best policy! 😉
Have a good evening!

‘it’s by no means because they are as glamorus as a Mercedes Benz’ best!
“The car has never been in any major accidents”
That means it has been in minor accidents?
Hi th,
Actually, I did have a minor accident. While in the car a young lady oblivious to my honking behind her backed into my hot rod lancer which unfortunatly left my poor bumper needing to be replaced. (It’s always a good idea to use ones rear view mirror when backing up. ;-)) Other than that, it has been free of any major accidents. Now are you ready to take the next step and get behind the drivers seat of a awesome and now famous Lancer thanks to Mark and his blog? 😉
Have a good evening!
Joshua

Have you ever gone to car haraj? sell it there, lets see if it gets ya 2400k.d. ;p
That bad boy needs a set of spinners, spoiler, hood scoop, muffler, and some JDM decals to make it go faster. I’d also convert it into a manual.
You can buy a new Lancer for KD 3999………….
