HeHeHe... guess they're getting a bit testy about all our emails, cuz here's the response I got from them:
"Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention but we are not nincompoops! The company that we use to put our inventory on the web are! We know what we are selling at all times and we will be fixing this problem right away! By the way, do you want to by this car from us or did you just have nothing better to do today? Thank you again. "
Cheers,
Leslie

When I first saw the add, I debated writing to them too. Only I wasn't going to inform them, I just wanted to mess with them. Something like,
Wow! A Chrysler mini. I didn't even know they existed, You guys have got something real special there on your hands, I think it's worth a lot more than 19 there!
(My boyfriend just told me I'm wrapped up in a real nerd world here)

I just checked out that link....obviously it didn't mean enough to them to actually FIX their mistake.
And what a HORRIBLE picture they posted on there....before I read the info to the left I was like "what the heck color is THAT?".....

>>Oh, that ad is pretty sad and yes, I succumbed to the temptation to email them and tell them they are nincompoops! I CLEARLY have too much time on my hands...

I had to tell them too!

This reminds me of the last Cruise In we went to. Here's what happened:
An electric blue MINI came in and parked at the Cruise In. My husband and I did not make it over to the car before the driver left the car. I was checking it out when someone walked up and was musing to his companion what kind of car, etc, this thing was. Well, with two beers and tons of useless knowledge in my system, I gave him a 15 minute dissertation on the entire MINI history, what the new car was, etc. He finally looked at me and asked, "Is this your car?" My reply was, "Oh, no, it's not. Mine is still on order." NOW THAT confused him!!

I got it. I really did!
".....Here's your sign!" I heard that bit on a friend's cd. I hate to admit that I can't remember who it is though.

It's by Bill Engvall, there's an article on Snopes about it...
