Browsing the classic classifieds, as you do, I came across this brief description:

Years ago, while working as a salesman on a used car site with about 30 cars on it, my car washer came to me one Saturday afternoon and said, "I've done them all except for some of them".

As my kid once said "Can you can't believe it?"

Full service history, couple of stamps missing.

Saw a shop sign a few weeks back that said 'open all week except Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday afternoons'.

Went to see a car with a full service history a couple of weeks age, when I arrived the book was missing half the stamps, dealer said "Yeah, you need to ring Mazda for those"...useful!

If my 14 year old wants to stop his little brother doing something he says "Can you don't?".

I once saw ad ad for a washing machine "Excellent condition, but leaks"

[Dave.]

I saw a listing last week, "....cheap fix....."

Description included ".....engine knocking......"

[Touring442]

Excellent pre accident condition.

[Shezbo]

"original condition, with the bodywork just resprayed"

And don't forget......."All matching numbers, except........"

I get annoyed at "mint condition except for........" it's not mint then is it.

I've seen a few caught out over the years..

"Selling on behalf of customer"

So when the problems become apparent dealer says "you didn't buy it from us"

Quite often the same for a private sale "selling for a friend"

Newish one is "managed sale"

Christmas tree packaging: For indoor or outdoor use only.

[Trevor555]

"relisted due to timewaster"

Ok, so tell me really why the previous person didn't buy it?

[badhuis]

A Jaguar XJ40 ad online had this
"inline slanted V6 engine"

[Touring442]

"I haven't fixed it as it never bothered me".

[LuS1fer]

"Will fly an MOT"

So put one on it....

[wpa1975]

Drives fine with no issues apart from the EML is on.

[alfa-alex]

Exactly the same only different…..
