DENVER (UPI) -- A Denver man said he resorted to holding a cardboard
sign at the side of the road after all other methods of attempting to
sell his Jeep failed.
Keith Snyder, 30, who spent Sunday afternoon advertising his SUV at
the side of Interstate 70 and Quebec, said he was inspired by
companies that advertise at the roadside, KUSA-TV, Denver, reported
Tuesday.
"I put an ad for my Jeep on Craigslist and I put a sign on the Jeep
and it just hasn't sold," he said. "I see people advertising for their
companies on the side of the road, so I figured I'd give it a shot."
Snyder said the vehicle has become too costly to keep fueled.
"I'm spending about $74 to fill it up," he said.
He said the fuel efficiency of the Jeep is likely one of the major
obstacles to selling it.
"My Jeep probably gets 15 miles to the gallon," he said. "People want
25 miles to the gallon."
Snyder said he is asking $2,500 for the vehicle, well under its Kelly
Blue Book value of $3,100.
