So I bought a 5 year old 1.8 Civic for less than that 9 years ago.

That would be because of the JDM tax implemented in 2020.

Again with these ads, why do so many not do a simple spellcheck? And then the photos. He's got a couple of grand shots with the neons going, followed by pointless shots that give no more information. Why no interior or engine bay pics? If they're clean and "detailed" why mention that in the first place if you're not showing the goods? That said I have noticed in the last few years car reviewers on youtube etc almost never show under bonnet shots. I suppose because in the majority of cases car of the last ten years just have a big slab of black plastic on top of the engine so nothing to see. Maybe that's influenced adverts?

I presume these are mostly young lads(1400 squids for insurance on a 1.6 suggests that for this seller) and use their phones to create and upload ads? Hence they're kinda crap. Granted as an old fart I run the risk of spraining my thumbs replying to a whatsapp message on a phone and I would never post an ad from one. I'd probably end up with "care for sail" and four photos of my feet. Out of focus. But c'mon if you're selling something, especially for "big" money, sell it.

You can buy a cheaper type-r than that 1.4.

True enough but if he and his age group are paying 1400 quid for insurance on a 1.4 good luck with the mortgage needed for anything more lairy.

It's easy to do a good ad for a car with a phone through the app.

I don't doubt it, which leaves me still wondering why so many crappy ads.
