The photos in the first ad are the worst I've ever seen :shock:
Not that it's any better reusing pictures from previous sales years before, like the second one.

Either way it's a lazy way of doing things.

The quality of pics and desciptions on DD often of a poor standard. Another pet hate is the fact that many sellers dump a heap of search words in their ad making it difficult to find what you're looking for. For these reasons, I rarely if ever look at DD, they need to work on their search interface to enable the buyer to filter out the myriad of misleading ads.

Ditto to that one! I hate that, drives me nuts, if I'm looking for a 3.0L Jap sports car I don't want to buy a 1L Corsa, or a 92 Civic. Fair enough if its a car of roughly the same spec, like putting in a 300Z and getting GTO, or Supra, or Skyline, you might be tempted then, but some of them are just ridiculous.
Pictures taken in the nighttime as well is a crazy one, blurry dark pictures that you can't even tell what colour the car is not to mind its condition.

My guess is there is something else wrong with it, otherwise it would have been snapped up straight away as its a lovely car.
But the last add for this is just a disgrace. The title is just comical "CAR"

The blue Fto is up for sale again because the woman who bought it felt that after driving it all the way home, it was not a comfortble enough car for her.
And to be honest i can understand why.... the suspension doesnt seem to be too healthy, which isnt good for a car running 19"s..
What i dont understand is why she didnt think so when she test drove it?

Even when Dave had that car the suspension was rock solid..I seem to remember him slowing RIGHT down going to the cash point before the limerick meet back then.. was that 07?
