terminology aids............
If the ad claims... It really means...
rough condition... too bad to lie about parts car... beyond repair immaculate... recently washed concours... recently waxed engine quiet...
if you use 90-weight oil needs minor overhaul... needs engine needs major overhaul... Phone the junkyard burns no oil... (it all leaks out) rebuilt engine... Cleaned the spark plugs. Drive it away... I live on a hill. Drive it anywhere... (within 10 miles) desirable classic... No one wants it. rare classic... No one wanted it even when it was new. stored 20
years... (in a farmer's field) ran when
stored... Won't start. never apart... Bolts too rounded to loosen. solid as a
rock... rusted solid restored, with 0
miles... Won't start. restored, with 2
miles... Won't stay running. older
restoration... First owner washed it. good
investment... Can't be worth much less. no
time to restore it... Can't obtain parts. 95%
complete... Other 5% doesn't exist. Other

#!!@&## thing goes or I go!" Doesn't smoke... when it's out of oil. New slick racing tires...
I burned the tread down to the belts.
Re-upholstered... New K-mart seat covers and
floor mats. Major preformance upgrades... Bolted a new exhaust tip on the tailpipe. Kept

It's got a floor shifter. Family car... There's still food under the seats. Good

believe I paid $xx for it myself. Lots of extras... Everything that fell off/out is in the trunk. Quiet
engine... You can't hear it over the broken headers.
Traction control... Starts moving only in 2nd
gear. Race modified... It's got Japanese
stickers on the back window. Exotic... It
leaves a funny taste in your mouth. Precision machined... I used a degreaser. FAST... -ER
than my mom's Geo.
