It really bothers me when they use euphemisms and cliches to embellish the car. Such as:
"Looks good for a 40 year old car" = paint is chipped, trim is scuffed, seats are wrinkled and cracked "No noticeable rust" = sure as hell there's rust but I won't tell you where "Honest driver" = piece of junk but it moves under its own power "Believed to be original paint" = maybe not every panel has been repainted "Many tasteful upgrades" = tacky, goofy frankencar "Sure to increase in value" = listed at 30% above market price "No known accidents" = there's inches deep of filler but who knows why |

Easy project——if it was easy, you should do it before you put the car up for sale.

Included with sale is *insert part here* that I haven't gotten around to installing.
Translated to "Here is a $15 part, removing the engine to install it is on you, but consider it 90% done." |

Over priced cars which after weeks of advertising the sellers start to threaten. Last weekend at this price then the price goes back up! Or, If it doesn't sell this week I'm taking it off the market. Of course they continue to advertise but it makes me wonder if any of these overly optimistic sellers ever find a buyer.

If this was 1995 they would be saying awesome custom build instead of bespoke.
 15 mils. it came from the factory that way.
