Hi ricky

Thanks for that post.
It makes a big difference to understanding the car, its current condition and history.
Someone had asked me for an opinion about the car.

So the car at the start of this... Is it £995 or £1395?

And if so why not correct the one that's wrong?

It is cheaper to advertise a car on autotrader if it is priced at under a £1000, and considerbly more money for a car over that price, so people tend to start the ad at a low price and mention the correct price somwhere in the detail.

Which is false advertising.
