Think every panel on the passenger side has a dent on it. Again as per usual, a done deal ad with shocking photos.

1100 to buy but how much to get the car looking decent again? a few hundred at least. Hence the asking price i suppose.

admit, its not the prettiest, bad picture, needs a wash and polish, bit of tlc and i'd say she'd be a fine motor. recently passed nct so all the usual stuffs are in shape.

Regarding the camry ad....

What the hell is going through some peoples heads when they decide to put their car on done deal? At least wash the feckin thing before you take pics of it & FFS take a few photos of the interior?! Mileage would be a nice bit of info as well if its not too much trouble...

To me the owner couldn't give a rats ass what was wrong with the car.
No service history, so who know when it was ever serviced. The add actually says a lot about the car in one sense. Which is bad.
As fonecrusher1 says, why the hell could they not be bothered to even wash the thing?
It beggars belief sometimes.

Re the Camry, I can see one dent on the passenger side, it's tested for 2 years and the asking price is realistic. If it seemed fine on a test drive and quicl poke around the lack of service history etc wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Mileage and interior pics should be included though.

RJ in all fairness it looks like a ball of sh!te from the pics.

Now i could be wrong but if he insists on throwing up poorly constructed ads like that then folks are naturally going be very cagey about taking the time to go look at a car that hasn't even been washed pre photo shoot.

Theres a 'i couldn't be arsed' vibe from the ad.

I actually reported that ad. I urge anybody here to do the same with ads that are full of nonsense search words

We Want To Buy It TODAY No Matter What Condition !!"
^This is the Camry seller. Imagine what he paid for it if he's able to price it at that...

don't be getting your knickers in a twist, on the passenger side I can see one dent, the bonnet looks like there is a big dent in it too but that could be the crap photo. The reflection of the house on the car doesn't help. If I was looking for a Camry I'd be ringing the lad at least. The asking price is quite small

I do that all the time too, any ads that take the piss with ridiculous search terms. In fairness to DD they come back very quickly with the matter resolved. I e-mailed them once asking about it and they encouraged me to report any ads I see that are abusing the system as it will help eliminate it.

So my advice.....Report report report.
