Irritating car sales descriptions?!

[ge0rge]

Not sure why but this one always bugs me:

NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED..

[tim0409]

eBay - "Here we have....."

seriously annoying.

[hardcorehobbit]

I hate the classics....

one careful lady owner
first to see will buy
only £10 to fix

Most of all... anyone who tries to hide the fact that the car is written off by hiding it in a mass of capital letters at the bottom of an ad. It should be right at the top, front and centre.

You are bidding on

Up for grabs

Grab a bargain

Drives mint

Too much to list

Best colour

[Negative Creep]

PRICE IS £2999 NOT £299 AS STATED IN TITLE

If I become PM, this will be a shooting offence, along with putting single digit mileages

[GAB4R]

For me, its not so much the description - but its the ones who can't spell in their adverts.

THIS 330I IS FULLY LOADED

<advert shows a completely base specification 330i with zero options at all>

That I am not sure about, My Smart Roadster the MOT ran out in December, thinking of selling it but not sure if I should get it MOT'd now, or say it will come with 12 months MOT and get it done for the buyer, so it has the full year on it.

Yes, I'm sure your 110k miles motor looks just like it came out the factory...

[Tophatron]

On a 205 GTi advert many years ago:

"IF THIS CAR WAS A FRUIT IT WOULD BE A PEACH"

I'm sure "Lemon" would have been more accurate...

[GreaseNipple]

pretty much this whole advert

'112 miles' - commonly found on Auto Trader.

No, it's done 112,000 miles!

But 4months+ without MOT will not help your sale... just put it through the MOT, and for the sake of £50 on the sale, offer to put it through again?

My pet hate also. "Here we have for sale..." You're a builder's mate selling a Mondeo, not some bird on the fecking shopping channel.

'Stunning'. Aaaaaagh!

'Drives superb'.

Dealers listing 'driver's airbag, Isofix seats' and other cut 'n' paste drivel when selling a 1986 Mk2 Golf.

I've always wanted a service history finished in cream.

Unfortunately it seems the window-licking Del Boy selling this car has managed to produce... [HarryEnfieldMode]offspring[/HarryEnfieldMode].

[UnluckyTimmeh]

I always hate when people write 'no reserve' on a vehicle or whatever but start it at £9,000 or something.

So basically there is, it's £9k isn't it? You fking idiot.

No reserve means you're starting it at 99p. Not im not taking any less than £xxxx
