Lazy a$$ car sellers

What's up with these car sellers? They advertise that their cars are pristine, properly maintained and babied. Yet, when they show pics of the interior, they hadn't bothered to vacuum up the sunflower seeds. Geez, if you're going to sell anything, clean it up! Curb appeal goes a long way. End of rant.

Pictures of the interior?

At least they put up pictures. I've seen too many cars listed for sale with one distant or blurry exterior photo. My favorites are the ones carefully cropped to fail to reveal the hole at the bottom of the driver's door striker panel, the rust bubbling up below the rear window, the tear in the driver's seat bolster and the big crack in the middle of the dash.

It is very common for people to say excellent condition and when you go look at it you see so many things wrong with it and the car is usually beat up and dirty.
