Strangest Offer

I've been looking for a cobra for several months now. When I first started looking I was very impulsive and wanted instant gratification so I threw a few strange offers to people that were selling their car. I didn't have enough cash on hand so I was offering some land (a lot basically) I have in Washington. Of course, I didn't get any takers and I figured I would just save up so one day I can finally get the dream car I've always wanted and just pay cash for it.

It got me thinking though. I couldn't be the only one that has offered something kinda different in the pursuit of a car.

Like I said, I don't have one yet but the strangest deal I've done was for an old Dodge van. I had a 10mm handgun and offered that and to my surprise the guy accepted. I even talked him into giving me a few bucks on top of the deal.

What are some of the strangest things offered for trade for your cobra?

I was offered a Prius while at a stop light a few months ago.
