Thought I'd give the classifieds a go this evening and got intensely irritated by the 'spam' listings for things like leasing and rentals in the 'For Sale' section.

It looks like companies are trying to be 'clever' by getting their adverts in front of more users but it actually makes the classifieds stty to use. PH, why not create a section for this and de-clutter the used car sales classifieds?

While you're at it, can you also strip out all the stupid 'looking for' adverts in the for sale section too - they annoy more even more than the lease and sports-car hire ones.

Set the minimum amount as £500, as that gets rid of those listings. It is annoying that I have to do that every time I use the classifieds though. Whenever I use Autotrader, I never have that problem.
