....I would've put it in the 'just bloody scrap it' thread if it wasn't for the fact it has the PD130 engine which will happily last longer than the world's supply of oil ....

Is there a thread for the best phrases ever caught in an advert?

If there isn't, there needs to be! 

And the best bit about it is that he probably genuinely means that, rather than the normal tongue in cheek phrases on some adverts for sheds to attract attention! 

Edit - duly done, why not? 😁

I have no idea wtf he means.  I assume it's a glitch in the Romanian -> English service on Google Translate.

For sure!

Treatable must mean to say repairable I guess. Absence of common sense does however describe  trying to sell cars on Facebook very well if nothing else...

"It's scrap and not worth repairing" is a much simpler and less confusing way of putting it!

From my limited knowledge of other Latin-derived languages, I had taken "treatable" to mean "negotiable".

I see its sold but this makes an ideal easy/first project car.

Japanese cars are reliable and I've heard stories of cars needing minimum recommissioning to get back on the road, also supposedly does over 50mpg
