This secondhand car ad for a 1999 Toyota Corolla is an all-time hall of famer

We probably have written about enough secondhand car ads to come up with a top 10, but however many we’ve written about, this is absolutely, positively, 100% number one.

It’s a classified ad for a 1999 Toyota Corolla that’s just gone viral on Twitter again and it’s all kinds of wonderful.

And here it is in full!

We’ll take it!

Is it the best car I’ve ever owned?

No. But also yes.

Almost laughed coffee out my nostrils when I got to this line “Let’s face the facts, this car isn’t going to win a beauty contest but neither are you”

The time and effort that went into that ad are magical.

That's a person who actually doesn't want to give up their 1999 Toyota Corolla.

Wow… masterpiece.

I’m just surprised whoever can write like this… is driving a Corolla

"This car's exterior color is gray, but it's interior color is grey."

Idk why this caught me off-guard
