What’s your definition of the word "Mint" regarding a car?

[VtsTom]

Am i alone in thinking that if a seller describes their car as being Mint, thats its pretty much spotless. Very clean interior, lovely shiny paint work and faultlessly running engine. I dont expect to see scuffs, scrapes, dints and cracks. Dripping oil, noisy alternator belt and fag stanched interior.

Dont get me wrong, i dont mind scuffs, scrapes, dints and cracks. However if i had a car that has them, i would describe it as fairly good condition. NOT MINT!

I spent 4 hours travelling today to view a car that the owner told me was spotless. Im pretty crap with body work and my mates usually have to point out pin dints to me. However today, this spotless car was a f-ing shed. I actually questioned the seller as to weather or not is was the same car as in the photos. What a waste of a day

Bloody cowboy chavs. GET IT RIGHT

has to be has it looks in the pictures, no raped tryes, nocking suspention strange noises lil bitts and pices not up to standard rust scratches ect ect list goes on, but can very depending on price to what you should expect

[JC-Furio]

Or maybe they just advertise it as mint to get more viewers?

Either way would fuck me off as well if I wasted 4 hours in the car to look at it. Would probably add to the dents as well with a quick shift of the shoe. Then do a runner.

If they say mint for its age I would expect 1 or 2 dints but nothing too serious, I went to a look at a car a while ago, it was an astra, looked amazing on autotrader, got there and all the body panels we scratched and diff shades of silver!

Was not happy, know how you feel mate

[LVC_VTR]

have to agree with you mint = the dogs bollocks

[saxowebby]

looks like it did when it left the factory.

no marks, dents , scratches, interior doesent smell, no fag burns, no dripping oil, no rust etc.

Mint = showroom condition lol. Ok probably not, but it would have to be half decent.

Mint is subjective... i'm a total perfectionist though so for me, mint is nigh on perfect car.
