Default If only all car sellers were as honest as this guy

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=280324899952

posted on another forum I go on. For anyone who can't view at work, he gives a frank list of everything which is wrong and has answered 87 mainly nonsensical questions in the duration of the auction...

Some funny stuff

So what's wrong with it?
"The exhaust system including the catalytic converter needs replacing. On the plus side this does mean that the car makes a rather excellent noise when travelling at speed, however at low speeds it does sound like an asthmatic camel carrying a bin bag full of spanners."

Question: "Excellent spot. You should consider moonlighting as a proof reader. I have just noticed that you're (note spelling of you're fellow bidders) located in Tadley - one of my favourite places - where a car like that must make you a prominent and well respected member of the community. Are you not concerned that you will become an outcast? Lamentably, the bid price has exceeded the rally’s circumscribed maximum but I have published your ad on the company car blog here at Microsoft so expect some corporate enquiries.

Answer: " You work for Microsoft? I can see this would be an excellent company car from anyone in that fine organisation. Rather like your software the Rover will work for a while without any problems and then just stop for no apparent reason. Unlike your software it will not blame the user for the the fact it has decided to no longer work, neither will it then ask me if it can contact its parent organisation to report back on how crap it is."
