A guy filmed a hilarious commercial to sell his girlfriend’s 1996 Honda Accord online

A COUPLE has gone viral after creating a fantastic commercial to sell their largely underwhelming 1996 Honda Accord online.

IT MIGHT not have the bells and whistles of a modern car, but this hasn’t stopped one man from going the extra mile to sell his fiancé’s 1996 Honda Accord.

In an effort to raise interest for the sale of “Greenie”, Max Lanman shot and edited a commercial highlighting the best features of the ageing vehicle.

Set to a piano score in the background, the commercial shows Lanman’s fiance, Carrie, driving along California’s coastal roads as she cuddles her cat and pours coffee from a percolator.

“You don’t need things, you are happy with who you are,” the narrator jokes as Carrie pushes an iPod adaptor into the car’s tape deck, highlighting the lack of modern technology in the vehicle.

In an attempt to attract the right buyer, the commercial highlights the basic functionality of the car that has done 141,095 miles.

“You don’t do it for appearances, you do it because it works,” the narrator says. “The car for people who have figured life out and just need to get somewhere. Luxury is a state of mind.”

According to the small print on the commercial, the cat and coffee pot are not included but the bug shield, rubber duckies and tape converter will come as part of the sale.

The vehicle, which “is in fantastic shape save for a few cosmetic dings”, was listed on eBay for $A652 and quickly attracted the attention of buyers.

However, it appears the amazing commercial has also attracted the attention of trolls, with the car currently having 114 bids — $A196,000 is the highest.

While the eBay listing might have been hijacked, the sellers assure they can make maintenance records available on request, with the Honda Accord registered until 8/8/2018.

“It has only two owners ever: me for the last 14 years and our neighbor [sic] who sold it to us,” the listing explains.

Earlier this year, the sales pitch for a 2011 Mazda 3 brilliantly explained why the car was such a smart purchase.

“When this Mazda 3 Maxx Sport rolled off the factory floor it was probably expecting a lot more out of life. Imagine being born with TWO X’s in your name, followed by the word SPORT, only to end up being bought by my wife and driven from Elwood to Port Melbourne and back every day,” the ad read.

The poster pointed out the hidden luxury of the car being used for his wife’s commute means the vehicle had only done 36,500km in six years.

“This thing has barely even learnt how to walk. It’s never seen the countryside, it’s never seen the Great Ocean Road, this thing is the vehicular equivalent of Jim Carrey in The Truman Show. “As far as it’s concerned the universe consists only of one long road along the beach,” the ad explained.

“It’s like one of those kids who was born into a cult and told that if they ever ran beyond the fence at the edge of the ranch in the woods they would spontaneously combust and never be teleported to their new home on Planet Xanthar.”

In addition to having limited kilometres, the poster assured potential buyers the car was never put through the paces.

“It’s been driven with the voracious aggression of that one overcautious kid who finishes last by seven lengths in the egg and spoon race,” the ad reads.

“My wife is one of those people who would stand on a road in the middle of the desert without a single vehicle or person in sight and wait 10 minutes to cross that road because the red man was showing.”

The poster added the couple can guarantee the car has never done “mad burnouts”, “hektik skids” or “Fast and Furious drag races”.
