So would you expect to be told a newish mainstream car had central locking , electric windows, illuminated vanity mirrors ?

I am of the opposite view , I dont want to read an endless list of things 99% of cars have as standard . I really only want to know what attributes make a particular car better than it's generic counterpart

No, I agree. I am talking about 1 line adverts that tell you nothing at all.

Is it a 'fully loaded' Chevette?

Or this?

Indeed!

Those that do this often don't even list optional equipment or put up interior photos (I assume the car looks crap and worn out inside then).

The ones which say:

Leather seats, alloys, electric everything, amazing car!!

Then you ask: MOT? Tax? Service history?

Their answer: no, its a sweet runner though.

I remember reading an ad in one of my Father-in-Law's Porsche Club mags for a late model 996. The description included "electric windows", and "electric door mirrors", and - best of all - "original tool kit".

I thought, 'Chief, you're selling a 996! As a buyer, I know it would have 'leccy windows and mirrors, and a 5 year old car with its original tool kit is not a fooking selling point!'

Well that will never amaze how many sellers make a massive selling point of car having its original screwdriver and a 15 years old first aid kit intact!!! There are no other features of the car I could care less about...

They're giving you the option of taking other people's ability to see in the dark more seriously than yours, or not smile

The one that makes me laugh is the 'virtually every option ticked' chumps.

Every option except satnav. And xenons. And leather....
