"has all the goodies"

Does anyone conisder buying anything advertised with this phrase? To me, it screams "I probably don't know what I'm talking about and I'm too lazy to figure and/or write it out."

"has all the goodies" works well describing some women.

I hate the term "clean" when it comes to describing cars.

What? If you wash your car before selling it, it's somehow better?

I love photos of project cars that are $20K+ from going down the road, and it says, "I've done all the hard work, it just needs a few odds and ends!"

Yeah, like wiring....and an interior...and paint......

When a seller uses the term "tasteful upgrades," unvariably they are neither.

"original miles" as opposed to say, unoriginal ones.

Also broken english ads:

needs replaced - really? what did you replace those needs with?
new breaks
top of the line Porche Chyenne

"Only needs ________, which is easily fixed". If that was true, why didn't the seller fix it?

"easily restored for concours" Means rust bucket as well as a mechanical nightmare.
