Our mysterious used car racers columnist explains why he’s not a fan of AI when it comes to promoting used cars.

Call me a grumpy old man by all means (after all, I am), but I have a new hatred for pets and it’s making my head spin.
These are the robots. As in many other industries, the used car market is slowly infiltrating but actually through artificial intelligence, recently I feel like I want to question the current component of that.
Especially since those who use it lack it. One thing that is becoming more and more prevalent is the use of AI assistance to create listings for sale, especially on popular auction sites where there is now a deferred button that users can press to generate an AI-powered description of the car they have put up for sale.
The challenge is that a robot that hasn’t noticed a specific car can’t tell you much. A professional used car dealership can, but we’re going to get to that. But first, I need to play “Guess the Car. “
Number one: This is a wonderful selection for those looking for a reliable and effective car. The car belongs to the category Cars, Motorcycles and Vehicles and is included in the subcategories Vauxhall/Opel and Cars.
This car is ideal for those who value fuel power and reliability. It has been well maintained and is in very good working condition. The car has a sleek design and is comfortable to drive.
You guessed it: it’s a 14-year-old Vauxhall Meriva with 158,000km on the odometer. Efficient (sort of), I suppose, but I wouldn’t be putting my own professional reputation on the line in such a small-engined Vauxhall. mileage that lasts, and no matter how much I squint, I can’t even make a Meriva look stylish. before the most indulgent eyes of my mind.
Number two: this is a reliable and physically powerful sedan with a diesel engine. It can comfortably accommodate up to five more people and has a mileage of 14,5,000 km. The car has had five previous owners and comes with a partial maintenance history.
The exterior is charming and comes in a sleek black, right-hand-drive, four-door color. The interior is black and has all the features for a stylish and comfortable ride.
The car comes with an MOT that expires in September 2024 to ensure it is roadworthy. Now, aside from the fact that I’m a bit rigorous with correct grammar and believe that any number less than 10 deserves to be written in its entirety, this is the least of the disorders on this list.
First of all, a technical inspection of the car carried out 8 months ago does not guarantee that a car is compatible with the road. This can cause a lot of problems. I also don’t know what all the features are needed for a stylish and comfortable ride. I’m guessing the robot means it has seats.
Do you have any idea what the “beautiful” device in question is?Well, of course, it’s a 2005 Peugeot 407, a car that looks like a growling fish, the rear end of which was designed by a different team than the one that made the front. .
I’m also going to question that “road-proof” statement, because I don’t think I’ll accept it as true in a 19-year-old Peugeot.
So let’s move on to number three: “It’s not just a vehicle; It’s a reliable match capable of making new memories on the road. Every element of this fun-to-drive car will leave a lasting impression. Contact us today to learn more about this exceptional sedan.
I’m all for pushing the boundaries, but the car we’re talking about here is a 2008 Perodua Myvi, which at one point was Britain’s cheapest car. And while I have no doubt that it will leave a lasting impression, I don’t think so. I think it will be a particularly positive impression for most drivers. Maybe some die-hard economy car enthusiasts, but in my experience, this is a completely different breed.
I once took a 270,000-mile Perodua on a partial exchange with a guy who drove it 250 miles a day, but I guess that’s the exception to the rule. As frustrating as those lists can be, they also have a serious side.
While a personal trader may press the magic quote button as the least (lazy?) form of resistance, if a professional trader does the same, it’s like lifting the ring from the biggest box of worms you might need to eat. .
Who’s to blame if a robot tells the visitor that a car is roadworthy and has a harmful defect?
The answer is you, because each and every car you sell is sold under the Consumer Rights Act of 2015, which provides the customer with a point of coverage for up to six months and also means you’ll have to make sure the car is compatible with the road. And by that I don’t mean the one that passed the technical inspection last September. . .
