Things that put you off even reading a car ad?

Cat d or c and then puts 'but dont let that put you off' , yes i want to own a car that has been crashed , been painted , damaged or taken for a joy ride.

As opposed to one that may well have been crashed and repaired but isn't on the HPi register...

[Pebbles167]

I find it quite annoying when people dont clean the car for the ad picture.

Nothing worse than seeing a dirty interior/exterior. Gives the impression they didn't give a toss about the car.

Volvo S60 T5, not bmw 5 series, honda accord, not vauxhall vectra

That sort of rubbish.

I agree with all of the above actually

There's currently a God awful E92 M3 on AT at the moment. That's a real head turner. Disgusting wheels coupled with kermit green paint.....

Those alloys have simply got to go, but I like the colour!

"Mint" if the car has done more than a couple of thousand miles.

"Barn find"

"Classic/collectors car" (sic)

"Bargain!!!"

[LooneyTunes]

Comic Sans.

I never want to buy anything from someone who thinks that is an appropriate font.

[brickwall]

"First to see will buy"

Who the hell are you to say that? Let's leave that to those that see it and/or buy it, shall we?

Rare manual model.

It's rare because NOBODY wants a manual XJ Jaguar.

"This car was £39,000 when new and has £18,000 of options..."

Errr. It's not new anymore...

Any form of misrepresentation of the mileage

0 miles
132 miles (when 132,000) or
11000 miles (when 110,000)

any mention of "best colour combination"

I agree... anyone who cheats the system like that are low-life tts. No honest dealer or private seller would list the mileage as "0" or 1/1000th of the actual figure. They are fking scum!

Another thing that pisses me off (as mentioned in this thread earlier):

"genuine reason for sale"

[KissMyRs]

Jeez, you guys must seriously limit the cars you buy.

Whats wrong with someone saying the car was £39000 new and its had £18000 worth of options, they are just trying to show the value of their car as opposed to another similar car for sale.

[Jasandjules]

First to see will buy
Cheap because of X or Y damage/Cat D (usually for a price slightly higher than a non damaged/Cat C/D car)
Usual chips/scrapes/Usual scratches for year

[Motorrad]

A.Barely literate fktards.

B.Also people who 'brought' the car for some reason or other.

C.See point A- the stupid s.

What if the car is fully loaded and your after a fully loaded car.

I think the annoyance is more at people saying FULLY LOADED just because the car has leather and sat nav...

Annoyed my the most when I was after an E46 M3, fully loaded meant sat nav ticked on the options list. People thought I was funny when I asked if the fully loaded cars had folding mirrors and electric lumbar support.

Just needs a part that is £10 and takes 5 mins to fit and it will be mint. Or examples very near to this, well just fix it then!

Best colour combination is the phase that currently puts me right off.
