Default Advert

Browsing the bay of E[as you do]yesterday and I came across an advert which was simply titled Vintage Car.The advert itself was rubbish with next to no information,but the thing that made me smile was the fact this "Vintage" car is a 740-Sorry don't know how to do links to such things.

I saw this too, so as obviously the seller is totally word-starved asked him some questions about the car. Silence so far, and doubt I hear any more, so conclude he just wants rid as a banger-racer. Conclusion - how can a seller hope to get the best price when he doesn't tell us more? Perhaps he's word blind, in which case get a friend to prepare a better advert.

Well at least he cannot be accused of overselling it and misrepresentation.

Well that's one way to sell a car.... if you don't want to maximise your chances!
I do like people like that on fleabay, as if you've got the time to trawl through all of the car ads you can find a bargain because it doesn't come up when people do a sensible search like 'Volvo 740'.
