Use this handy chart to convert the verbiage in a For Sale ad to reality

 

I needed that when I bought mine... He sounded just like that...

 

Thanks for the sales tips!

 

So very true!

Its funny and made me smile, because it is true. I don't understand how some people can live with themselves. What makes it even sadder is that they are proud of themselves when they get away with taking advantage of someone. FTE has showed me that there are still many good folks out there/in here "Rock On" all of you good FTE people out there.

 

Ross, did you send that to this guy Ford Pickup / 1951 / Original cause it looks like he used it as a reference.

 

"Rustfree" - No Extra Charge

 

Interesting ad. I never realized how many modern day items were available as original factory options in '51.

 

That 1951 ad is pretty funny. And "Rebuilt Engine" has to be one of the most common misrepresentations. A lot of folks got their hearts broken when they brought their rustoleum rebuilds to the shop for repairs. My favorite ones are when the fresh engine paint is oversprayed all over the wiring harness, spark plugs, alternator etc.

 

Definitely true Ross. I was lucky, bought both Belle and Orreo off the net sight unseen. They were both just as described, Belle was actually better. That being said I have seen a ton that your chart would help immensely with.

 

"Rebuilt engine" seems to mean "I spent more than a $100 to get it running"

 

That is a great list, and very true. The '51 should have said "fresh paint". It looks like it got painted with a throw away brush and red oil based paint outside under a tree on a windy day.

 

Don't forget, ran when parked.

 

I must have missed something in all these years, what's a "Big Boy" model?!

 

LOL, so, then why'd they park it?

"Needs a title, but they are easy to get."

Yeah, uh-huh. If it's so easy to get a title, why didn't you do that too?
