Default "Hard Loaded" and "Low Miles"

I'm sick of reading about vehicles that are described as "hard loaded" or "loaded". The pictures show plastic wheel covers, cloth interior, no sunroof, a tape deck, manual seats, manual transmission, and manual windows.

Then they add that it has "low miles" with a mere 103,246 miles on the odometer of a three year old vehicle.

It's getting to the point where people are blatantly lying about their vehicles in order to try and generate interest.

The term "hard loaded" makes me uncomfortable.

I am in agreement though, frankly those terms along with "non-smoking" and "lady-driven" go in one ear and out the other because anybody can say it.

I had been told that my 1989 5-speed Taurus SHO was "executive driven" and I laughed that off, till I saw the government document listing past registrations and sure enough it was registered to an Executive at Ford a city over from where I lived.

When I sell my s2000 I'm going to list it as 'driven by an old man.'

More like "lightly used by a heavily abused owner".
