Default Ebay hyper-seller

Don't you love the garbage people write in their e-bay ads? How about this one-- I found it especially funny! I guess it must be an S-8, right?

This AUDI A8 will keep its like new looks because its galvanized steel body was put through an advanced 27-step finishing process by AUDI factory and it has 10 year/unlimited miles WARRANTY against corrosion perforation.

"Fully galvanized steel body" was a key ad claim of Audis in the '80s

Smooth shifting transmission. Appears to be free of any collision damage. Motor runs as you would expect. No known issues.

You know, those statements that aren't truly a binding contract. Bull#### in my opinion. I've sold a few cars on ebay and I'm always way too honest in my descriptions. Most of the people want an excellent car for nothing...really grinds my beans. I see many phrases that sound nice but don't really say anything...they are a "backdoor" if something crops up with the car.

I agree. Ebay sellers who engage in this sort of hyperthreading are a serious warning to me that they no nothing about the car.
