This one is full of them!

The car is in immaculate condition - driven by pilot. Not sure what your job has to do with the condition of your motor.

Very low mileage. Fair one.

Need to sell due to posting in Doha Qatar. Always include your life story.

One ont tyre brand new. One may need replacement in near future. The car is at least £3k overpriced and you CBA buying tyres in pairs - on a pilots wage! What happened to the other 2 tyres since you brought it up?

Fully Loaded. PREMIUM PLUS PACKAGE with every possible upgrade you can choose on the car!! Oh really? Where's the buttons for the Airmatic air suspension and the Driver Assistance package then?

2 owners, Black. Asian, surely?

Replacing just one tyre suggests the wheel alignment is way off too (or something is bent, maybe curbed hard). Assuming it wasn't a puncture.

'No rust' on cars that are known for rusting, either they aren't aware of the rust (haven't looked properly) or they've painted over it.

One lady owner. Clutch and gearbox on their last legs and not serviced or seen anywhere near a mechanic until that funny light that looks like an engine comes on and won't go out.

"Excellent condition pre-accident" - This has got to be my all time favourite! haha

Really don't understand the 'no time wasters' thing. Basically, if you go to view the car and decide it's not for you, you are a time waster.

No wonder 'first to see will buy' they are probably afraid not to.
