Irritating car sales descriptions?!

That is absolutely dreadful. I won't copy the bad spelling, but my favourite lines were "What is £16,500? Write a cheque now" and "See how hard I am trying to get you into a Bentley".
Like being talked at by a cockney market trader.
"From the outside, you wouldn’t believe that the iQ seats four."

Not sure why but this one always bugs me:
NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED..
Even worse...NOT FOR THE FEINT HEARTED. I've seen it more than a few times. NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED..
I think a lot of people try to build up an aura about their car, to tempt people in and make it sound special, most of us can see through this but it must work, it is seen most on knackered old 5 series, a lot of ads turn it from a fairly average car, maybe with a couple of options into some ultra rare edition with every possible piece of equipment, amazing the number of BMW M, Hartge, Alpina, AC Schnitzer collaborations there were.
"Leathers" annoys me, as does saying a car is a colour which is actually one from another manufacturer as they are too lazy to find the correct colour. "Fully Loaded" annoys ,e, what exactly does it mean ? can a car be "partially loaded", "Full Electric pack" seems to mean it has electric windows and mirrors, it isnt something you can add separately, not nowadays anyway.
Bad Grammar and spelling, ok I appreciate not everyone has A level English, and I get things wrong but really, get a grown up to check your ad so you don't sound mental or illiterate.

I don't mind this. "Standard spec" can vary by model year so it's good reference point for me to check which spec it was...
Yes, and you can put a 2007 car up for sale and still get people phone up and ask "has it got power steering?".Just because a few car geeks on a car forum know the spec of a 2006 330i or know where to find them don't assume 99% of the buying public have got a clue.
