Rant time. There are some things that annoy the hell out of me when looking at cars for sale on the Facebook marketplace or gumtree:
-
People who cover the reg plate in the pictures. If I can't do a background check on the car you're selling, it just makes me think you're hiding something. Instant red flag.
-
Men advertising a car as having had a "lady owner" as if that's supposed to mean something.
-
No photos of the car's interior. If I can't see the inside of the car, immediately I have no interest. It could look like a barnyard for all I know.
-
Bad photos in general. Blurry, bad angles, taken in the dark.
-
Cars advertised at suspiciously low prices. It's either a scam or you get linked to some bullshit financing scheme when you message the seller. No chance you're getting a 3 year old Ford Focus for just £2800.
-
People who are aggressive and arrogant in the description section: "I know wat I have I kno wat it's worth no time wasters if u don't like it then piss off" yeah.. I'm not going to deal with you.
