I haven't bought a car from a private seller in a while, but I would take the above comment to say that it's been around the block a few times (like a hooker in Vegas).

This barn find ferrari has patina


This is just a POS

"Driver's Condition".

First of all, let me tell you something. The car is either clean or piece of ****. No need to sugar coat with words like patina. Do these people even know what the word patina means?

Second, what in the ****ing world driver's condition is? I guess they are trying say not a museum piece?

I hate when people try to hide behind trendy words to mask the true condition.

OK, I know what "Driver's condition" is to me. It's a nice car, but due to age and miles, it may have a few door dings, a small oil leak (drops here and there) and some worn upholstery in spots, maybe discolored plastic trim on the bumpers, but mostly, in good serviceable order.

I understand where your rant is coming from, you're looking at cars described as "driver's condition" and when you see them, they look like the rust bucket that I posted above.
