Second hand Cars
Stephe Powell
The car selling magazines have a vocabulary all their own; understanding
it is essential to avoid getting lemon-ized.
What is says: What it means:
Must sell Before it blows up.
Good runner I was going to say "runs excellent" but
I had a last minute conscience attack.
Needs new tyres and brakes
Needs some body work Was sided-swiped by a truck.
Well-maintained I changed the oil occasionally.
Looks like new Just don't try to drive it anywhere.
All original I never had anything fixed, adjusted, or
replaced.
Loaded with options Each one more troublesome than the next.
Never smoked in Unfortunately, that's the best thing
I can say about it.
Project car Doesn't run.
Lots of potential Doesn't run.
Needs minor repair Doesn't run.
Good body-work Doesn't run.
Good engine Body needs attention.
