What is wrong with being honest in the classifieds? I bet I have looked at a dozen ads today that all read about the same. "Rock solid". "Super solid". "99% rust free". And EVERY one goes on to say "ONLY needs floors, or quarters, or rockers, etc." People...if your car needs all that, it is NOT "rust free", and NOT "Super solid". Most of these might be "above average" at best. Rant over.
You get use to reading car for sale adds... It's kinda a language of its own... -"90% finished"= I didn't know what I was doing and I finally gave up, you will have to start over. - "Solid car"= I don't see daylight through the car and it doesn't make funny crackling sounds if you touch it. - "Fixer upper"= This thing really is a pos. - "Taken apart"= I forgot how I took it apart... Here's a bunch of parts that go somewhere...
