Recently I have been looking for a specific type car for a project, and I am always amazed at the ads.... * black and white car advertisements that don't tell the color of the car..... * car advertisements with no price.... * car advertisements with no location/state...your car is just what I want, but, it's in BF Egypt ???... * "car is restored like new" different color than original....blower sticking out thru the hood etc etc...RESTORED means "like it was" dork... * "car is sure to appreciate" will they put this in writing ??? Or better yet, why are THEY selling it to ME if it is sure to go up in value ???....they should let their own mother have a deal like this !!! * "car has low miles for the age"...a 20-30 year old car driven sparingly can still have over a hundred thousand miles... * "shown by appointment only"....really, I thought you would just leave the car in your drive with the keys in it for me to stop by at my convenience ... * I always AVOID "lady owned" or "owned by a doctor"...is there a special place where they drive to avoid road debris, door dings....these cars are abused just like the rest.... * painted in DIAMOND GLOSS red/blue etc etc....I have asked, no paint mfgr carries "diamond gloss"..... * EVERY car in their ad was owned by a "fussy older gentleman"...gimme a break...didn't fall of the tator truck yesterday !!! * "would you like to make an offer"...NO, it's your car, PRICE IT!!!.... I am patient, I will just keep looking !!!

Right on ..............A car for sale is always worth more in the mind of the owner than the mind of the buyer.
