Ever noticed some for sale ads?

Have you guys ever noticed some for sale ads?

It just amazes me on what some of these sellers will put in their ad.

EXAMPLE: FOR SALE - 2002 C32 AMG, fully loaded, garaged, silver ext, black interior, adult driven, owned by doctor.

"adult driven, owned by doctor"...is the seller trying to say the car is well taken care of just because he is an adult and a doctor? hmmm.

To me, just because your an adult and you're a doctor does not necessarily mean you take good care of your car as much as a young adult that is unemployed.

If you really want to sell your car, personally, this is what I will place on my for sale ad:

FOR SALE - 2002 C32 AMG, fully loaded, garaged, silver ext., black int., owner loves his car more than his wife. Also, I installed webcam inside my garage for security.

Now dont you agree this AMG has to be in great condition?

Yes Brembo -

Webcam and /or LoJack would be definite PLUSes.

100 layers of Zaino and V1 would be MINUSes.

I understand what your saying, and it is not to say that just b/c someone is older (or has a respected job, like a doctor) that their car will be treated better, however if you go the the C32 section there is a thread about the age of C32 owners. There were a few owners under 20 and a lot in the 20-25 range, who admitted that their parents purchased the car for them. In general, a teenager or early adult will dog a car more then an older person who actually used his OWN money to purchase the car.

Many people state adult driven just to add to the possible buyers security about buying the car, but that's not to say that adult driven is necessarily a good thing, just better then kid driven!
