Id be curious as to how they know it runs perfect considering that by the appearance, that thing is only slightly illegal for street driving. I needed a good laugh this morning

If that is minor, I am afraid to think of what he considers major!

That's a peculiar color. Is "Pacific Green" really a '96 option? I don't recall ever hearing of it. Then again, this doesn't look like one of the greens I've seen on Auroras before.

I'm always amused by the subjective descriptions of used cars by their sellers. Here is the translation to concrete terms.
Loaded: means it doesn't have all the options, just the ones that may be found on this particular car.
Fully loaded: means same as above, plus power steering and power brakes.
Mint: means the paint is perfect except for the swirl marks, paint chips and dented hood.
Flawless: means some electrical accessories are missing or don't function completely.
Rare: means it is bright orange with whitewall tires on the drivers' side and an aftermarket t-top was installed.
Custom <fill in the blank>: means it has some aftermarket item (wheels, sound system, etc.) that the previous owner felt was a more important use of his money than maintenance items (oil changes, etc.)
Excellent condition for its age: can mean absolutely anything.
Runs perfect: means it starts and can idle for at least 5 seconds before stalling.
Like new interior: means there are fewer than 5 cigarette burn marks and the carpet gets wet and smells musty only during the rainy season.
Detailed regularly: means it is run through large puddles for that just washed look.
Needs TLC: means the transmission is missing and has no spare tire.
And my favorite,
Low miles: means the actual mileage is too large to print for fear of driving away any potential buyers.

Amen man.
Highway miles: Owner lives just off the interstate.
Florida Car: Yeah. Miami, maybe.
Southern car: Serviced by redneck who serviced it himself.
Well-maintained: poorly constructed

And of course in this case,
Car has minor front end damage, but runs and drives perfect: means it was involved in a high-speed, front-end collision and the insurance company totalled it.
