My favorite part of the picture is how the bed walls have obviously moved upward while part of the floor has not
"Air conditioner just needs to be recharged". Of course it does!!
That's my favorite, from nearly every used car ever listed on Craigslist.
Here's another: Vehicle for sell. I need to sale it. Whuh????? You put something up FOR SALE if you are SELLING it.
I've discovered from sad novice experience that recharge actually means "It will need a new compressor", which runs about $800 where I live.
Wonder what other things he called MONSTER that are actually only regular.

A few phrases off the top of my head that I see a lot, which I have found are a great reason to avoid a seller;
"Mint condition" - No one "mints" a car. The federal government mints coins. Also, unless it literally just rolled off the factory line and onto craigslist there is 0% chance it is anywhere near "mint condition"
"Flawless" - It's a subjective term, even taken as literally as possible; You've at least got one spec of dust in your air filter, Pal. Also most cars have a handful of "flaws", even when new.
Passed emissions "with flying colors" - Yes I'm sure the military is super excited that your beat up old Toyota passed emissions, a Presidential celebration is in order.
"Breaks" instead of brakes - If you can't spell brakes, you aren't qualified to comment on the condition of your brakes.
"Mint condition" - No one "mints" a car. The federal government mints coins. Also, unless it literally just rolled off the factory line and onto craigslist there is 0% chance it is anywhere near "mint condition"

I have always enjoyed a seller’s perception of what constitutes a “Restored” vehicle.
