Always garaged....when he's owned it less than a year and there are at least 4 previous owners...

In a similar vein

Always run on Shell V power.....

Never seen rain....

Washed & polished every week.....

Or....

You won't find a better one....

Absolutely gutted to be selling....

....so many....

"Pulling the trigger"

You're buying a gear knob / spoiler / car, not taking out a world leader or making a pre-emptive nuclear strike FFS!

Well I'd hate to disappoint you!

But how does an old lady drive anyway?

As a Canadian, calling them a 'Zee 4' hits me like fingernails on a blackboard. Yes, OK - if you are an American and want to talk about your Z28 Camaro (but why??) then pronounce it the way you like, but in much of the world, they are Zed 4s.

Lady owner
Ok if you don’t mind the switches scratched from long false nails, dash scratched from the large bunch of keys, holes in floor mat from stiletto heals, make up all over the seats, and not forgetting every wheel curbed.
Although there are always exceptions to the rule (my better half for example)
