Do the terms "colassal waste of money" mean much?

Well at least it has a "matching set of tires".

Just a few "minor" flaws that can be cheaply fixed...

It appears to have been well maintained throughout, but does have some minor flaws that could be easily corrected. The CD face and speakers are missing, the power sunroof is inoperable (may be a fuse or a short), the headlight wipers don't work and there is no antenna. All of these can be replaced for a small amount of money. There are a few minor cosmetic wears due to the age, but there are no major blemishes anywhere on this fine automobile.

Well, at least the interiors are....oh never mind.

I've often wondered -- if it's so friggin' cheap and easy to do, why not go ahead and do it and make the car more saleable?

Nice shiny plastic over the cloth parts!

OMG- I would say that's normal for Miami but the car is in Bradenton. Also, it brought back fond memories of hanging out with childhood friends whose moms put plastic on the furniture and plastic runners on the floors to protect the carpet. Thanks for the memories.

That is a horrid abomination.

Looks like they dipped the entire car in a vat of Armor-All, engine included.

Exactly.

The other two things that get me about these kinds of ads are:

1. It "appears" to have been well maintained. "Appears" is such a weasely terms; and

2. It is "usual wear" for a car "its age" or it is "normal for these cars." What the hell is "normal" or "usual."

OMG, I know exactly what you mean.

My Dad had the seats in our wagon covered in protective plastic. The wagon already had plastic seats.

Summertime in Hialeah was not fun!!!
