What cheeses me off with online car ads

[Blue victor]

The one that cheeses me off the most is the petulant threat

"Don't care if it doesn't sell, it can go back in the shed for another twenty years"

As for "buyers" that's a whole other issue

12 months rego and 100% road worthy, pass any test. Then in the photos you notice at least a dozen obvious things that wouldn't pass rego.

200,00 km on the clock.............'ALWAYS GARAGED'. Do they mean it's always garaged, oh except when it's not.

ONE LADY DRIVER.............but my 17 year old grandsons drive it mostly. But no lie, one lady driver.

Exactly right. Easy terms to refer to as well.

Styleside is a yanky term to differentiate their pickups (like the C20) that have the walls of the tray in the same 'style' as the cabin, with the wheel wells inside the tray area, as opposed to a flat tray or stepside (with the fenders on the outside of the traysides).

"one owner car"

yeah right probably one at a time, and just because its one owner doesn't make it a better car. And what if the cars registration papers has two owners on the rego papers is it still classed as a one owner.

One that has me confused, car just has surface rust. Surface rust? Yeah right, more like there is a small amount of metal between the bog and gaping rust holes.
Another, a car that is claimed to be one owner, but the seller actually bought the car from the “one owner”.
No reserve auction, that actually has a starting price of above zero? Um, no reserve means it starts at zero.
