Maybe it's just me... but I feel a Craigslist ad for a car (or a dating site ) should have current pictures. All three images of this AMC Spirit are more than 13 years old.
I agree but it's just as likely that the date stamp on the camera is wrong. I use a digital camera (dedicated camera, not smart phone) at work and the date stamp has shown 2001 for years. I think we bought the camera (new) in '09.
...it's just as likely that the date stamp on the camera is wrong.
Sure, I guess that's a possibility... but if this was my ad I'd either crop the date stamp out of the images, or at least mention in the text of the ad that the date stamp is wrong.

Ummm, this might seem like a rather obvious question... but why don't you adjust/correct the date?

I'd mention it, too.
It won't adjust. No idea what's wrong with the camera but it takes pictures and connects to the computer and that's all the state (I work for the state of Indiana) cares about.

Thinking about this some more, and realizing that 2003/01/03 is probably supposed to indicate January 3rd 2003... yeah, there's far too many leaves on the trees for January around here.
Stock, it's actually a pretty cool car. The Eagle SX/4 and Kammback were Spirit based but all wheel drive. Wicked sticky in snow. A bit odd looking but most AMCs looked a bit odd. (Ever see a Gremlin? )
Not as bad as a car I looked at. The fancy wheel and tires were now 3 different styles of stock and at least one tire would be a no go on driving a distance. Then, the rake was different. Then, where is the antenna? The car I was looking at had at least a 5 gallon bucket of bondo used to make it look like a car. On confronting them about the differences, the seller said the parent built 2 cars because it was more economical but, it was the same car, just different wheels. Uh, F- no. It was time to walk.
Deer God - I've re-lived a short period of my life I thought I'd never have to re-visit being that it was pushed deep inside and never to be dredged back to consciousness.
I took my drivers test at the ripe ole age of 16 and a day in a Pacer that looked identical to this one here:
Should have seen the look on the drivers license test guy when he walked out and saw that hulk of hot chick pickin' up ride waiting to be rolled through the mean streets of Tacoma.

I took my driving test in the middle of winter (the requirement was 16 years, 3 months which made it the end of January (in northern Indiana). I used my passed down 1969 Chevrolet Kingswood station wagon. I don't think there was any larger car at the time. Wish I still had that car.

I'm sure the babes just threw themselves into the back of that wagon.
As far as inanimate mechanical objects go, the car has got to be the top when it comes to being associated with coolness and verility. Perhaps, only the electric guitar and motorcycle can top it. Sure, you’ve got your “chick repellents” like the Brady Bunch station wagons and AMC Pacers; however, these are easily countered by a 1966 Pontiac GTO or James Bond’s Alpha Romeo GTV6, which literally do not need gas to run, but rather are powered by their own raw sexual energy.

Some of my cameras I use have a date stamp that drops out of sync after its stored a while. If I use that camera only every few months, its not worth bothering to keep resetting. For that reason, I generally dont imprint date/time, except for like documentation for insurance or something.
