Im looking to spend around 2-3k on a car at the moment and dont want to buy a really high mileage car and therefore filtering by mileage.

Why the fk do these stupid kebab climbing snot breeder cock sucking s post fking car adverts with mileage listed as 146 miles.

It's like i'm not stupid enough to think that your wky looking piece of st car that is listed with bugger all mileage is really that low. FFS even a car that st with such a low mileage wouldn't be so fking cheap.

What do you expect to happen you bum tossing granny bender? I will turn up at your fk hole car garage, see the car and still buy it even tho the mileage is listed at 146,000 miles rather than the 146 your advert states? Do you really think I'm that fking dense?!?!

All your doing is getting in my way. I wouldn't want to buy the car off you you scum hunting snot rider. All your doing is wasting my time. Al your doing is getting in the way.

fk OFF AND DIE

</rant>

Bad Day!

Hmmmmmm,

Good to include some figures and swearing, a couple of useful new adjectives, but is it a well aimed rant?

I reckon 6.5/10.

8/10. Good use of spleen-vent language, particularly the word 'snot' that has been underused in rants of late.

Ive asked a mod about this, and it comes under the add being incorrectly listed. Just report it and itll get removed/changed. Sounds petty i know, but it really is fking gay, just like the people who put the price as 1 pound, then have the real price in the add. Just get reporting, its the only way theyll learn.

He's absolutely right. Why do they do it? It's totally stupid thing to do and really irritating when you are looking for a car. Equally irritating are cars advertised with no mileage or those advertised as "POA". POA?!?!? Don't they want to sell the car?

I tend to just ignore them myself.

If they can't be bothered to fill out the advert properly, or proof read it, or check it once submitted, what else are they sloppy about?

And yes, it might only be a £2-3k car but the same principal stands in my book. When I sold my GTI it had every single receipt (tyres included), every MOT, every old tax disk, every single bit of paper you could ever wish for, and that was only just over £2k.

I'd have scored you a little higher but the mental image of a "Bum tossing granny bender" blurred my mind.

POA in my book either means "if you need to ask you can't afford it (F1, K'egg, Lambo, Fezza, etc.) or "Even I realise I'm being so unrealistic with the price I wouldn't get a single call if I put it on the ad."

Admirable, although snot cropped up 1 too many times for a perfect score, the effort with "granny bender" was inspired.

a 9. Not perfect, but not far way. You should be quite proud.

POA in my book either means "if you need to ask you can't afford it (F1, K'egg, Lambo, Fezza, etc.) or "Even I realise I'm being so unrealistic with the price I wouldn't get a single call if I put it on the ad."
POA for me means where there is likely to be extreme competition for a very rare car. Your average 430, 360, Gallardo, Murcielago would not fit this bill at all. People with money like to get the best deals too and, even with these cars, have plenty of choice in the market. Very little excuse for POA in my book.

They are not doing it to fool you into going to visit the car, but to beat the search filter on sites like AutoTrader.

If you specify, under 80,000 miles, then 136 would appear, but 136,000 would not.

It is a bit annoying, but I suppose their reasoning is that you may see it and like it despite not meeting all of your criteria.

I guess to some extent, but if I wanted to buy your car at 136,000 miles then I would fking put the filter up to 140,000 miles you seal sucking granny poker car sales man twunt. Hell maybe there are reasons why I don't want to buy a car with a trillion miles on it!! Its not my case, but if I was looking for a company car and they would buy a nearly new with up to 10,000 miles on it, do these crap sniffing snot eater (just throw in another snot in there) think I would buy their one with 146,000 on the clock?!?!
