Filmmaker Makes Hilarious Ad To Sell His Girlfriend’s Ageing Car [Video]

Unable to sell her car, her fiancée put together an epic ad to showcase it. The result? Over 100 bids for the 1996 Honda Accord. Can you dig?

Yes, we know; this dude had a really good camera.

But was it her for birthday? Their anniversary? Or is he just a really cool guy with a lot of time on his hands?

Let’s hear from The Verge:

Set to a piano score in the background, we’re treated to aerial shots of Lanman’s girlfriend (now fiancée, the ad tells us) Carrie driving along California’s coastal roads along with her cat and a handy coffee pot.

With 1.5 million views on YouTube, it’s obviously well worth a watch:

Mooi, man.

The ad resulted in over 100 bids for the 1996 Honda Accord with a top price of $100 100 (R1 426 163):

It’s also worth pausing the video to check out the fine print: the cat and coffee pot aren’t included, but do get the bug shield, rubber duckies, and tape converter.

Go back and read it again. It won’t disappoint.
