is this guy a real jerk or something?! In reality he is using software [not very good software] to generate product descriptions to sell. So if you have for example a hub cap to sell, the software just puts every name of every car in its database in front of hub cap. eg Citroen 2CV hub cap.

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds No hub caps, wrong colour bumpers, narrow rear bumper instead of wide - no bumper tape, wrong bumper brackets, no 'Citroen' badge on the boot - that's just for starters.

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds richardmorris wrote: something odd about it though, if it's a new build with new parts how did it get a Y reg plate? Because the identity isn't new.  Quote: The vehicle details for NVL 804Y are:
Date of Liability 01 08 1992
Date of First Registration 24 06 1983
Year of Manufacture 1983
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 602CC
Fuel Type Petrol
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour RED So it's a red car that's not been on the road since 1992. Riiiight.
