Why do traders advertise 2.5 as 3's????

This example seems to me to be a 2.5. There's a few more on autotrader wrongly advertised. How hard is it to distinguish? Surely the 3 badge on the back is a giveaway???

no tailpipes that you can see on a 2.5 3's have the twin ovals.


That one is a 2.5 sir.

Yes, you'll often see GTO3 in the title for example, and then in the blurb it will clearly say 2.5.
And there are those that just can't tell the difference between the models at all. You see some saying GTO-3R when it's clearly a standard 3.

Weird...

Are you confusing a trader with someone that is literate.

Yes, when I was buying I saw that on at least three adverts!
