Has common sense completely gone out the window...??

As a professional car dealer ... when you're taking pictures of a 'just in' prestige Aston Martin convertible, surely common sense says you don't take pictures of the car with roof up when it's dry, wait for it to start raining to start taking pictures of the car with the roof down, then be happy enough with the shots of a dripping wet interior to then post them on the advert.

Despite a few miles, looks a very well looked after car, and one owner ... who I am guessing has never stood taking photos of his/her Aston with the roof down WHILE IT'S RAINING. I'd be pi*sed if it was my pride and joy and it's on SOR!

Getting caught in rain in your own car until you can pull over to put the roof us is one thing,
standing there taking photos of a car you are aiming to sell with said photos is a bit bl*ody stupid in my book.

Would it put me off buying it?
In itself (interior getting a bit wet) probably not, but the fact the dealer has done it and therefore doesnt care too much for the car ... Would it enthuse me with confidence in the car or their after sales service to get me to go and see it?? Probably not.

Perception can be 9/10's of the law in any business, hence my point about has common sense disappeared.
