Car ad sayings I love to hate...what's your's?

"Won't Last!"

 

This one drives me crazy, it seems to be on every craigslist ad I see, usually to describe a rusted out junker that they're asking way too much for.

Another one that I see alot is "complete car" and you read on and it says "no engine/trans" wtf?

 

Not a saying but on ebay they will show a pic of a perfectly restored car. when you click the add it says " this is what it could look like when finished" and what their selling is a striped shell.

 

"Wife says it has to go"
"I've already got too many projects"
"Won't find one nicer"
"Just minor holes in the floor" - Fred Flintstone's car

 

"Mechanics special" Or "I really dont need to sell it"

 

Damn! And I was hoping to scam this guy!

Price is firm.
But must sell!



.

 

"Today Only!!"

Guess I'm SOL, can't make 'til tomorrow.

"Don't waste my time"

Ya done wasted mine pal, reading yer dumbass, overpriced, dreamer ad. Turn about's fair play.

 

OBO it used to mean that offers are acceptable. It means absolotly nothing today.

I have actually seen OBO and Price Firm in the same ad on the HAMB.

 

It RAN when it was parked!

Just needs an easy fix!

You won't be disappointed!

 

My loss,your gain!!

 

Will be worth $$$$$$$ when finished!

 

"Drive it home", been sitting for years.

I looked at one last week that said " $1200, but will take much less " in the ad.

 

If I can't beat a deal on a new Kia, I'll just give it to you.

 

Too much to list

 

Asking (whatever $) Firm......how damn firm can you be when you are ASKING a certain price, asking to me means make an offer !

 

How about adding new car slogans and marketing crap like Mazda's new tag line, Skyactiv technology.

 

my loss is your gain... hahahaha

$XX,XXX "INVESTED".... INVESTED MY ASS YOU DUMB F*^k

AC WORKS JUST NEEDS TO BE CHARGED.

"EASY FIX" IF IT WAS EASY YOU WOULD HAVE FIXED IT BIOTCH

 

"No tire kickers."
"No joy riders."

I heard a guy say to a low baller, "Want a good buy? Goodbye!"

 

I once had a guy actually kick my tires on a car I was selling.. After that I started putting no tire kickers please, hoping that old man wouldnt show up.. Afterall the car cant kick back

 

Not a car ad but one that qualifies...a current ad for Bayer aspirin, old dude who just had a heart attack:
"I am in absolute perfect physical condition"

 

Here's the one that pisses me off to such a degree that I won't even bother looking at the item for sale: "In great condition for it's age". Now just WTF does that mean?

 

Sometimes F8TL and myself will use such sayings in real life to see how people react! peace

 

my favorite is " not in a hurry to sell". That on really gets to me, why would u put it for sale if u dont want to sell it. I sometimes call and give them shit about talking to their wife about buying their car. I once told a guy that i would take his wife flowers and half his redicoulous asking price to buy the car. He hung up on me and removed the for sale posting.

 

Everything is a "barn find" now. Or, they like to say, "a similar car sold at barrett auction for $200,000." Meanily the car they have is hacked and been sitting in the woods stripped down for 20 years.

 

all steel, no bondo

 

"Chevrolet runs deep". Just grates me. So does its 'savior'.

 

Not a big fan of "testing the waters".... or "don't NEED to sell."

Although you never know when someone might be looking for EXACTLY what you have for sale.... in which I can see the point of these types of ads.

 

it's what makes a subaru a subaru

 

From the other side.. buyer asks "What condition is it in 1-10" I reply for a 25 year old car it's a 10!!! (for a 5 year old car though it would be a 2)

My fave sell line "Just needs a battery" or "Just needs brakes bled" when the *&^% does a car need thr brakes bled if it's just been sitting? and how LONG has it been sitting for all the fluid to "evaporate" to the point it has air in the lines?

 

My favorite is " Have all the parts.".......they NEVER have ALL the parts
