Anyone else ever pondered the point of some of the, on reflection, rather odd or superfluous phrases used in car ads (or other ads, for that matter)? The one that always makes me chuckle is “genuine reason for sale” - well, of course there is - why else would you be selling it?! And quite frankly, “it’s a bucket of rust that’s going to cost a fortune to get through its next MOT and I want to get rid of it before I have to sell my first-born to keep it on the road” is a ‘genuine’ reason for wanting to get rid of a car, isn’t it?
Have to go along with all your comments and fully agree. Now to be totally non P.C. another car to be avoided is advertised as “Only two lady drivers from new” AKA - destroyed clutch, no oil, shredded front wheel rims, 300 used tissues under driver’s seat, holes in driver’s carpet from pointed heels etc etc etc Ouch - my wife has just crept in and thumped me!!!
Yep & id like a pound for every car ive been to see where the advert said “first to see will buy” & i never bought it.
Hee hee! Yeah, that’s another one. Every time I see that, I wish I had the time and inclination to arrange to go and view the car with the specific intention of NOT buying it, just out of sheer bloody-mindedness 
.
And the ‘lady drivers’ one - well, yes, a bit pointless. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting women are better or worse drivers than men - I’ve encountered plenty of sh!te drivers on the roads, and they seem to be a pretty even mix of men and women. The real problem with a vehicle having been owned by a ‘lady driver’ is that there’s a much higher chance of most of its mileage while in their ownership having been school runs, quick trips into town or to the supermarket, or all sorts of other short-distance stopy-starty nonsense - which, as we all know, are much harsher on engines and mechanicals than a good blast down the motorway. Personally, I think I’d probably go for a car that’s been given frequent opportunities to stretch its legs by building up lots of motorway miles than one which has done a fraction of the miles without ever being given the chance to warm up properly.
It could be worse, like only one private hire driver owner from new.
I can see a whole new thread topic - What Not To Put In a Car Advert.
saw the lady driver one taken to new heights the other day…
it was married lady driver!!!..seriously, do these people think this makes an iota of difference!!!
You’ve seen my Alfa then?
“One careful owner”
However - four useless excuses for drivers who don’t give a fig for their little 4wheeled wonders… 
When on a trip in a fleet of Mitsubishi Shoguns to Fraser Island in Australia, through sea water , rocks and jungle trails, really knocking the cars about the driver told us the lady company owner sells them on as “one lady owner”!
