Default Car advertisments

Why are people so incapable of writing up even a half decent advert when they sell their car? Do they honestly expect interest with such a shit advert?

Prime example, I'm hunting for a new car at the moment, fancy a little mk5 ZS..

Seriously? My 9 year old cousin could string together a longer advert than that, and he's a bit simple!

Ye car adverts like that really annoy me, another thing that annoyes me is when they say so and so (an insurance company or club normally) value it at £xxxx money, its not them buying it so I doint give a fuck what they think its worth!!!
