Ok the title is a bit long winded but hope you all get it. This Dodgy Car advert Thread inspired me to start this game!

Basically the aim of the game is to write one word or feature of a car advert and reason you hate it.

e.g.

Mint
Is the seller trying to describe how fresh it smells
Enjoy
 
"New car forces reluctant sale" :?

Should read,

"I'm selling because it's knackered and about to cost a bomb to keep on the road"
 
Cheap/Easy Fix

Usually neither of those. Usually relating to something like "blows a little smoke", sometime accompanied by a "been told it is just the rocker cover gasket, really common on these".... when in fact they know the bottom end is shagged and the engine's better used as a coffee table.
 
'Fully loaded'

It's not. You just think it is because you have no real clue about what options were available because, a) you couldn't afford them when you bought it new, or b) you are a purist, and believe optional extras are distractions from the pure, often cold and windy, driving experience. The only thing it's fully loaded with is your failed hopes and dreams, and a faint whiff of bullshit.

:D
 
CAPITAL LETTERS

because I am soo desperate to sell the car you might not read the advert. Or worse still I think you have sight problems.
 
"One female owner"

This to prepare the viewer for kerbed wheels I guess … :D

"One careful female owner"

Only 3 wheels are kerbed. 8)
 
"Genuine reason for sale" ......... It's f*cked
 
"Only one previous owner"

2 names on the V5 already, will be three once you've bought it
 
Tastefully modified with quality aftermarket parts...

It's a shed, wrapped in a fibreglass nightmare held on with cable ties and chewing gum.

This, alonside reeling off a list of "optional extras", which are actually standard.

I pretty much don't use autotrader now because 75% of ads are just gumpf that autotrader ads. I'm glad they tell me a 2012 BMW has power steering and 3-point seatbelts, would never have thought.
 
18 inch wolfrace alloys not Cheap copies

Since when are copied alloys cheap? Or if your referring to replica alloys they are cheaper but not cheap!
 
"Real headturner"

Read: "owned by some attention seeking chav" or alternatively "makes some strange or overly loud noises at normal speeds"
