Often, honesty is the best policy. Shelmar Roseman of Largo, Florida found this out firsthand. The salesman was tasked with moving a 2002 Oldsmobile Aero his used car dealership couldn’t seem to sell. His manager was even willing to let it go for $900. There was only one problem: Whenever anyone came to look at the “beater” of a car, they found something unexpectedly wrong with it.

Roseman took to his personal Facebook page, posted nine pictures of the car, and wrote a description that can only be described as a masterpiece. We’re talking about car ad on par with the Mona Lisa and Beethoven’s 9th. I’ve long argued that you can judge a work of art on how well it did what it set out to do. And by the end of Roseman’s fantastic write-up, you know exactly what to expect from his 2002 Oldsmobile Aero. In fact, you’d struggle to find something else wrong with the car because he’s listed every possible problem!

He gets started with the year, make, and model. Then is off to the races with the tagline: “Nothing special or pretty about this car.” Following that zinger with “200k miles” is almost a letdown.

Then, out with the bad. “Rust on the side.” As if that’s not enough he says, “I even zoomed in on the rust so you can see it.” No sleazy two-faced sales tactics here.

This rusty 2002 Oldsmobile Aero does have an upside

The positives? He lists those off quick: “This car runs and drives. The air blows cold and it has a cd player. Thats it. Nothing more nothing less.”

Now on to business. “Dont bring your a– down here saying it looks different in the pics or you didnt know it had that much rust.Im telling you right now. This b—- rusty.”

So why would anyone mess around with this car? Roseman lays it out. “This s— is $900 dollars. You’re getting 900 dollars worth of car. No I do not have any wiggle room. You can wiggle your a– down to another dealership.”

Roseman warns, “Dont bring this s— back for nothing. It has 200k plus miles. You d— right u gone find something wrong with it but as for now it cranks. Steers and drives.Blows cold a– air. And wont leave your pockets bare.”

Poetry!

Does the Oldsmobile Aero come with any guarantee? Kind of. “You can rust assure this car will last you at least ALL SPRING ’17” (Written in February of 2017).

The guarantee does come with fine print: “This will get you from A to B. Just dont try to make it to C.” And of course he had to rhyme one more time: “An don’t bring that b—- back to me.”
