Car For Sale By Owner

Car For Sale by Owner By Elton Camp With a used car dealer’s unsavory reputation The ad, “For sale by owner” is a temptation But if you decide to go this route, take care Remember the caution, “Let the buyer beware” In such a case there’s not any implied guarantee If it breaks down at once, it’s out of luck you be The owner says that, “Once a week it was used” But not that his teenage son the car badly abused A superficial look and you might not suspect That five times the car was in a major wreck And last time, the car was fixed by his brother Front from one car and the back from another If the seller mentions he’s active in his church Get ready to be cheated and left in the lurch So buy a car from an individual if you must But always verify and never ever dare to trust

Funny yet very, very true. Too often we're taken for a cheap ride, not to mention risky (pun fully intended). I smiled all the way through on this one. Well done.
