Looking through the sheds section in the classifieds and found a Z3 for sale, curious as to why it was there I gave it a click

How can you say "not a scratch on the car" and then start about damage?

I actually like adverts like that. I am a believer that when you buy a car, you also need to buy the seller. Hence adverts like these save me time as I don't need to bother calling them.

I can just hear the seller's voice in this add: Perfect condition bruv innit?
