When selling a car what does "Mint" actually mean?
I find this word used more and more on adverts not only to sell R's but all models.
"Car is Mint" usually followed by scuff here dink there, kerbing to wheels. Seat worn etc
To me that's not mint, mint should be perfect in every way, surely.

Mint = bit rough but cant be bothered to list all the faults

Like all these terms they are meaningless and should be ignored.

A clean car to me is totally different to someone who is into detailing and has OCD :)

Eactly! Yeah the scuffed alloys, cracked windscreen, *** burns in the seats, warning lights on the dash. Yeah pretty much sums up the word 'Mint' lol. I would be embarrased for someone to come round and be like wtf is this lol.
