Tennis star Nick Kyrgios uses Facebook to ... sell a used car?
Social media has long since narrowed the gap between professional athletes and sports fans, but this -- well, this takes things to a whole new level of personal connection.
You -- yes, you! -- can buy a used car direct from tennis star Nick Kyrgios via Facebook.
Kyrgios is a 21-year-old up-and-comer from Australia who's currently ranked 16th in the world. He's also looking to sell a car -- and hey, why not just try using Facebook like your retired uncle does?
Kyrgios' employment of the phrase "please inbox for more information" really puts it over the top here.
We crunched the numbers on Kelley Blue Book, which said that particular make and model should go for somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000.
Better yet, Kyrgios is actually responding to commenters below his #ad, and the back-and-forth is good for a few (non-literal) LOLs.
Social media, man, bringing people together one used-car sale at a time.
