    Why is it that the wrong people get a hold of these cars and then express their stupidity on ebay ?

    For example.... WTF is a "unit" ? Are you expressing to a potential buyer that you don't even consider this to be a "car" ? To the seller this 330 is merely a "unit" ? What a tremendous Ash whole !

    Then of course the honorable folks from Autohaus Los Gatos... These folks don't care enough to give the slightest details about the vehicles they are selling, do they think that it is somehow titillating ? Next they will be showing their "barn finds" with a bikini clad model sprawled over the hood...

    When I try to sell a "product" on ebay, I at least try to do a little research first, and then give a thoughtful description.

    I guess shouldn't "drink and post".

    Almost as annoying as the guys who put trashy women in their ad with their cars, like that will seriously attract a buyer....

    Almost as annoying a when people put "call for price" when trying to sell things. Not ebay buy just about everywhere else. I deliberately will never call even if I may be interested just because sellers can't be forthcoming with all information.

    OMG, it lists the car as being a "manual" transmission!



    Sometimes that is the best part of the ad...

    "Call for price" guarantees there will be no call from me.

    I agree- A call for price in my opinion _ lowest form of sales slime.
    My other favorite- post one picture and maybe 2 sentences. they just can't be bothered.
