How to sell a car using swearing and incorrect model review!

[JuanGandini]

Made me chuckle anyway!

Use of swearyness and some sort of press review of a different car (M135i) in the ad. Amusing!

Swearing? What swearing?!
No silly buggers is all he said.

Well ok but I'm not sure putting 'silly buggers' in a car ad is exactly the greatest use of language!

He also appears in a great rush to head off to Russia too. Generally an amusing approach at advertising a car!

Just occurred to me to use the search function on AT to look for other sweary ads.

"Bodywork crap, price v good".

Hmmm, wouldn't put me off really. He seems articulate enough.

I'm sure the seller will be pleased at the extra exposure you've given his ad.

I wasn't having a go, simply like to read a half decent rant now and again.
Just felt ad lacked any expletives.

That's okay. Perhaps if he doesn't have any takers in the next couple of weeks then he'll up the sweary content!

The advertiser said:

we are at 126a Dawlish rd sellyoak b297ar

This screams "please take this car!".

Why does AT insist on never providing a report function for adverts like this, or ones with bullst prices, or obvious scams?

Like the 'report' button at the bottom of the ad, for instance?

ps offfffff!

I'm sure that wasn't there last time I bothered checking, I think I even tried to find out how you could do it and ascertained you couldn't!



Though now I look at it, the tool is appalling, doesn't let you actually write anything and none of the reasons include "seller lying through teeth in description". Stupid.

"heading to russia soon, can clean blood stains out of boot prior to purchase if this bothers you, this is the convertible model ideal for drive by shootings, although not a 135i, it's still quick enough to escape plod and other criminals"
