Why do people advertise their cars as a Trophy...

..when they clearly are not! (apart from one)

Might give some of the ads a call for a laugh and put them on the spot.

Yeah call em up it did my head in when I was looking for a genuine Trophy. I saw an advert from a proper car dealer for a trophy low mileage but no photographs then I read the colour.... Silver *DOH*

The burning question is whether they really believe they are Trophies or not.

I get thefeeling with Autotrader, that when you advertiseyou pick the model from a list, and as most people have never seen a Trophy, they've got no reason to doubt it!

:shock:
I like the colour description of the blue "Trophy" on that link: matt blue... You'd think a dealer would know the difference between gloss and matt?! It doesn't really matter but it annoys me that a professional trying to sell cars for a living can be so sloppy.

Does make you wonder what else they are 'sloppy' with.............

I also like the way they list EVERY SINGLE FEATURE the car has, just in case you thought you were buying a nearly new car without airbags, a CD player and ABS...

i guess its just a "keyword" thing,
but most private dealers are such halfwits they just copy and paste other dealers adds without even knowing the difference....
i like the way the 2nd add even lists a rear wiper!!! :lol:

That rear wiper IS really important though... lol

If I was to ever sell my Trophy, id just say 'Standard Trophy Spec" or something like that, most people who are after a Trophy should know what they come with. If they don't I just won't sell it them lol!
