Things that put you off even reading a car ad?

Aftermarket alloys. I will not even bother reading the ad.

Why? Some cars have nice aftermarket alloys.

Alloys (often badly) painted black.

The best ones are when it's clearly been sprayed on with no prep work and is chipping all around the edge. Typically this doesn't seem to affect the price of the car though?!

Having been recently browsing for a 320d: any car where the owner has put an //M badge on it. Even the 'Sport' spec BMWs had no exterior badges, so their presence immediately makes me believe the car has been owned by a bloody idiot. Many out there even have the badge within the kidney grilles, which looks really st.

Mrs AngryDog has just bought a Twingo 133 that has black alloys on it. These are standard Renault alloys. Would you not have bought it because of that if a Twingo 133 was a car you were looking to buy?

ETA, BMW fit ///M badges to the grills and anywhere else they see fit on their own cars these days. ///M has become a brand (or bland?)
