To an American, that would sound like a sack to put a vagrant in but once explained to them what is is they realise it's what they call a "fanny-pack". If i was in Australia i'd call a pick-up a ute and would expect Aussies over here to learn the words "pick-up truck".

What I gather from all this is that someone has come onto the forum looking to buy a car; ie: give one of us some money.
Instead of help, we offer derision over the use of one easily understood word. Instead of practical advice, we offer a semantics discussion.

If the OP had been looking more specifically for advice on what to look for or had looked in the Sale section, he might well have found a few cars for sale. Also there have been a lot of "chancers" on here lately, either trying to sell cars at enormously over-inflated prices or trying to buy at insultingly low prices - most of them have tended to use language typical of antisocial media effluencers.

I’m selling mine but I’d like to know your budget to see if we are on the same page first.
All I need to do is take it through an MOT and clean it and it’s ready to go.

As is the nature of this section of the forum, quite a few of us know each other personally and are more than happy to go off on a tagent and discuss other things at the same time. I for one have made atleast 6 very good friends through the 7/900 series section who I phone and or message weekly if not daily so it is no wonder this section is happy to discuss semantics as there is no ill feeling towards anyone and we are all here for the same thing... our passion for bricks on wheels. |

With reference to the word Wagon the term indicates American tendencies as in the 1961 song "3 wheels on my Wagon" and the term Cherokees refers to Indians which as we all know John Wayne had a lot of trouble with!
The song recounts a hazardous journey made by an American pioneer family aboard a wagon being pursued by Cherokees, with the wagon progressively losing each of its wheels. The song concludes with the Cherokees capturing the wagon, but being asked to "sing along" with the family in the final chorus: "Higgity, haggity hoggety, high. Pioneers, they never say die ..." All together now.................you at the back......pay attention. |

Speaking of Cherokees Andy, the Jeep Cherokee i had was classified in the owners handbook as a "Station Wagon". It was a 1994 model though and these days would almost certainly be classified as an SUV both sides of the pond!

the Cherokee is classed as "The most American car" and is built in Belvidere, Illinois. Useless factoids but interesting, l also note they're in bed with Fiat amongst others!! |

There was a merger of Fiat and Chrysler Automobiles to create FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobile or perhaps Automotive?) but now they have merged with Lancia, Maserati etc and PSA Group in France to create Stellantis, one of the worlds largest manufacturers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellantis Rumour has it the Fiat 500L is a Jeep Renegade with a missing crossmember (only for reinforcement on the Jeep for off-raod use) which is quite scary really!
