Seems like good work if you can get it!  I guess nothing ventured  
nothing gained?
I think maybe I'll place a similar ad:

I am a local architect, vw vendor, planning a cross country journey  
on a very small budget & am looking for a 16" syncro westfalia  
camper, or other expensive German vehicle, preferably w/ tiptronic  
transmission, 3.6 L Porsche engine that runs well w/ clear title &  
legal in all 49 states & Canada.  I don't have much cash, but I do  
have many credit cards w/ large limits, so if you have a sweet  
running syncro westy, you would like to sell cheap or even better  
donate, please contact moi, & if you might have any of the following  
basic necessities you would like to donate, it would be greatly  
appreciated.  I can drive around my immediate area to score any of  
this stuff, if it's convenient for moi.

16" Syncro Westfalia, Custom MB Unimog Trekking Vehicle, or a 63 VW  
Dormmobile camper w/ SO-44 interior
hybrid engine/battery engine system to fit above
cases of Chateau LaTour 1964 wine
Money in minimum 5 figure donations for gas or haute cuisine on the  
journey.
And anything else that may help out on our journey, like the Swedish  
Bikini Team, gift certificates to Zagat rated restaurants & B & B's etc.

Thank you for reading and have a bitchin day!!
