When selling a car...

At least try to get some of the facts correct. Like the model.

Notice anything else odd?

Not ad error related, but is female prior-ownership a big selling point? Or even 2 prior female owners?

ABS and airbags???? Must have been one 'hip' elderly lady(ies) with the MP3/CD player!
