    I'm looking online for cars and one particular one has . c/l p/s. a/b written in the description. Not sure what it means. It's probably something obvious but my brains not working today.

    Bear in mind that those abbreviations often aren't typed in by the seller - a/b for example is a code produced when the person placing the ad ticks a particular box. What i'm trying to say here is that it'd be a good idea to ask about the exact specification before travelling to view, rather than simply relying on the ad.
