"A/C needs a recharge" = "the system has a leak somewhere (which is why it isn't charged)"

It bugs me too and usually I consider it a "strike" against the seller's credibility.

The other ones I love are the ones that say "needs some minor TLC" or "should buff right out" or "just needs a minor/little _________". Well, if it's so minor, little, etc. then just DO IT already. I consider such stuff to be utter B.S. unless the seller qualifies it with something like "the paint is fine but has some oxidization. I imagine it would clean up and be shiny again with some buffing/polishing/elbow grease but I haven't tried as I don't have the time. No guarantees, but see photo for illustration of what I mean..."

Usually these are just B.S. ways to say "well I disclosed the fact the car wasn't perfect" so they don't get sued afterwards.
