Annoying words sellers use when advertising a car

[BGlover67]

There are just some things sellers consistently post in their ads that are cliche and overdone.  For instance, every person selling a Shelby feels the need to retell Carroll Shelby's life story.  Is that really necessary?  If you are a serious buyer I'm sure you already know all about Shelby's accomplishments.

Besides that, there are a whole list of annoying words that are used when selling used cars in general.  I Invite you to list your favorites.  I'll start:

1) Laser straight panels.  This description shouldn't be used in conjunction with any muscle car from the '60s or '70's, more especially when talking about Shelby's.  Such a played out term.

If you paid 20k-30k for an experts body work to get it Laser straight that would be in line for perfection work, not too many people are capable enough for perfection work. Most have drips,runs,waves, ripples and call it good. By definition that would not be LASER straight-

"All Original"...and then they give you the list.

All Original, Except right front wheel, right rear quarter panel replaced in 1978, replaced door panels, replaced dash pad, Hurst shifter, and only one repaint!!

Frame off restoration for a uni body car

VIN number
The car has a vin

[ITHERTZ]

I'll start with my pet peeve and the rest are in random order

"Perfect"
"Working when last used"
"All Original"
"Excellent condition for it's age"
"Mint"
"Best"
"Remaining tread looks good" (when describing a 20 year old tire)
"You wont find a nicer...."
"As far as I know"
"My loss is your gain"
"Sacrificed"
"Will only appreciate"
Anything comparing to Barrett Jackson

I'm sure there are more, but this is my quick list and this should be a fun thread.

"needs restored"... cause I am so GD lazy I can't type in Needs to be restored.

I think that particular phrase ^^^ could be sort of a regional dialect issue - have heard from PA-dutch area and WI area(?)

Otherwise +1 on everything above
