"quick Sale"

[Answerprancer]

..."drive away today" "workhorse" "run around" "never missed a beat".
Does anyone else pick up on these used car cliches?
I can't help wondering if the use of the term "quick sale" might mean "please buy this car hastily then drive it away before you discover its faults"

[Buenchico]

To me, 'recently serviced' simply means "the garage found lots of faults that weren't economic to repair".

Not my effing kids selling my car again ?

[tonyav]

Afraid so, tambo lol.

[Answerprancer]

LOL "caveat emptor" - I suppose including the line "sold as seen" would ring too many alarm bells. I hate (the process of) buying second hand stuff from complete strangers, especially cars.

[tamborine]

They sold my Tigre while I was on hols tony. I loved that car :(

[tonyav]

Why did they flog it tambo ?, what year was it ?.

[Prudie]

I'm looking to buy a car right now, I'm amazed at the number of ads that still quote the archaic phrase 'one lady owner'.

[tonyav]

'one lady owner'.


Yeah there the worst.

[tamborine]

the OH bought a Caddy that I didnt like driving

[tonyav]

Ah right tambo, was it one of those classic caddy's with the big fins on the rear wings.

[tamborine]

Hey what car is it ? If its a jag I'mgonna hide mine

[Answerprancer]

...especially as that "one lady owner" is one of those aggressive chavvy beamer drivers that appear up my trumpet if I'm a bit slow about getting back out of the overtaking lane!

[tamborine]

The caddy was new in 2000. Vegas on wheels

[Answerprancer]

..for "as" read "if".

[tonyav]

[tamborine]
