Was speaking with previous owner and his words "someone will be really disappointed travelling to see the car on that description"

Old advert

And the motor trade wonders why it has such a bad reputation.

They are just about all at it / something is worth what someone pays etc

Helped lots of mates look for cars and will be honest, in ten years of searching I've never come across a good car/legit dealer/ one I would give money in that whole time.

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.

Why people insist on putting cars on bumtree for top money really does baffle me.

It goes like this:

Car sells on there for about 50p.
It gets a half decent valet and appears on eBay for twice the money.
Then it gets a polish and goes on Auto trader for 5 times the price.

That's a really concise but true reflection of things, it made me laugh too, not quite out loud but still laugh. ha-ha
