what does it really mean and what is Your reaction ... ??? very rare model .... not your usual crap....
A lot of regular cars claim in adds to be rare or special editions and certainly are not. “Individual” claims with certain dealers. I am a sucker for a rare car or one with a special or unique history.
Rare.... but most with a reason.. As nobody wanted to have actual model. Such as recent few ads on DD, mr2 mk 1 as auto?? X5 E70 4.8 petrol. Who would like to have them or drive today in ireland. This doesnt make them rare, as its more rare to get new owner for them...
And, not as your usual rubish... Jeeesus...this pisses me off and dont want even to finish rear the ad... it sounds like, i have the best d.ck ....
When I see it, its generally on an advert where the owner is pretty clueless - the lads who genuinely have rare machinery for sale don't usually have to mention that their car is actually rare.
if I see "not your usual crap"... I automatically think its probably crap.
“The values of these are only going one way” [emoji849][emoji849]
Another irritation is the ads where they give the history of the model or manufacturer. Ten paragraphs before you even get into the actual car details.
"spec to big to list" - either there is no spec or its full of garbage that adds no value.
Don't forget central locking and electric windows!Quote:

"fully loaded"
It might have one or two optional extras.
My pet hate.
....every possible extra.....
When its blatantly obvious from the description and photo's that its a pretty stock specification.
“Cleanest example in the country” is my favorite.
I assume when they say this they’ve gone and stalked every similar car in the Irish state and came to this conclusion...or maybe not [emoji849]

I think Donedeal should have a list of definitions on the site so that there is a more widely understood and accepted standard.
Mint = like new, no scratches, no dents, no wear nor damage of any kind.
Great = not mint, minor imperfections (slight wear on the driver seat bolster etc)
Good = ..............
Average =
Poor =
etc
Not saying it would change everybody's behaviour but it would certainly help. I think it could be a step in the ad creating process, and with the definitions there, you would have to be downright lying to ignore them and claim a less than average car is mint.
Let’s forward this on to DoneDeal and see what they respond :))Quote:

The one I can never get my ahead around, yet so many use it is 'Clean Car' - wtf does that mean ? It's been washed ?
It gives absolutely no indication as to the owners perceived condition of his/her car (no doubt different to the buyers idea).....:rolleyes:
Let description speak for itself..

Ah the fabled 4-cylinder diesel M3 - very rare model and not your usual crap indeed!
I wonder if there’s a database with all respective rankings? Suppose the guy is leading in current leaderboard..Quote:

Rant over.
