"Full service history in English" ... "Does not smell of curry" ... "May take a px as long as it's not your grandmother"

Doesn't he seem a very tolerant old chap!?

I'm white. And like many taxi drivers, I learnt the local knowledge by working part time doing deliveries for a tandoori. A couple of years later I helped coach the chef through his taxi knowledge exam as well. He now drives a Transit Connect 7 seater taxi.

You can’t have it both ways… it’s either rare OR unique….

Well you can. Something Unique is certainly rare because there’s only one, but something rare , is it normally unique. I.e there might only be 2 or 3 in existence , but that’s not unique.

What I’d object to is “truly unique”. Unique has one meaning only, and needs no qualification.

Agreed, but not in the context that the Xedos seller was using

Are they saying the Managing Director of a Mazda Main Dealer personally serviced the car?

I've known several Managing Directors and their skillz are more geared towards steering the ship towards the rocks rather than the actual day to day work of the company. This is left to the qualified personal entrusted to do the job by the MD. Avoid.

Got to be one of the best ones I've read 😂 courtesy of a Google translate malfunction:

"I went and enjoyed myself and did not envy anyone"

"Shock absorbers everywhere"

"And I'm doing it now with my new car"

"Come and see the test drive. Call me"

That sounds a bit suspect if taken out of the context of a car advert 😂

Driving non-stop? How's he going to hand it over if it sells? Fling the passenger door open and have the buyer dive in, take the payment, then tuck and roll out of the door while the new owner frantically climbs over to the driver's side?

What was that BMW 325 that Mobil had that spent 24 hours a day on a sort of vehicle treadmill. 😂
