Funny used car ad

This is in today's classified ads. Not sure if the guy is serious or not - but it's amusing either way. Especially the part about him leaving it running for heat.

1983 Chevy Chevette $2500 Sarotoga, NY

runs great, 2 door, fresh tune up, things wrong: hasn't been on road since 1995, sitting outback of house, my dogs using it as a dog house, we keep the car running so he can use the heat in the winter, also some stray cats got in there and have a litter of kittens in the back, so they come with the car, birds have pecked away at the winsheild wipers over the years, so they will have to be replaced, frame is rotted and split in half, rag for gas gap, no passenger side seat, the dog ate it, oh, yeah, the miles is 149,000, but for what other a*scakes are asking for their junk, I'm right around asking price.
 
I was listening to Swap Shop on the radio this evening and one guy was selling a 1965 Something, all original with many new parts.
 
I did legal work (collections, dealing with irate customers, etc.) for a used car dealer in Seattle about 20 years ago. My assistant ended up doing most of the interaction with the owner (and a lot of the work). She was a single mom, 2 kids, just a good, hardworking person. Car dealer took a liking to her, and when he found out her old car had died, he just gave her one. Told her if it had problems, call his lot, they'd either fix it, or just give her a different one. They were generally barges from the mid '70's that nobody wanted in the late '80's. He said giving them away was as good as incurring the expense of taking them to the auto auction and getting a pittance- plus, it kept her motivated (I do know that she always made sure his cases got worked on promptly).

I left the firm in '89 and don't know how long the arrangement went on. Don't think there was any ulterior motive- she was not real attractive, and he was a gold chain, trophy wife type, but a good guy.
