Can't fault the listing. Straight and to the point.

It's a 1986 Subaru brat It exists, it has big tires, it's lifted, it hasn't run in years, it's dumb. Willing to trade for comparable cool E36 M3

While looking for a beater, 98% of the ads I saw were... shall we say... less than desirable. 
His directness is quite refreshing to see.  

Now looking for a gas vehicle to tow a 3500 lb camper, seeing less getto/text speak, but 90% have completely incorrect info in them. crying

Missing info is one thing, but yeah, it's frustrating when the info is flat-out wrong.

And, while we're on the subject, another car for sale pet peeve: When the seller just copies the Wikipedia article.

In reply to Colin Wood :

Some minor stuff is just that citizens just don't know car info. 
But many start claiming "rare" options that are not true. Or not even slightly rare. To justify their inflated pricing!

Or "low miles!" Uh, 189K miles is NOT low. 
Saw a 03 F150 advertised with a 4 cyl...

the list is really long
