    Definition of 'long-winded'

    The guy here is a master salesman - he's selling the image more that the truck. Hard to actually learn anything about the vehicle in the write up save the speedo doesn't work and there's a nick in the windshield.

    YIKES!


    Let me condense...."Runs, Leaks oil, No rust on chassis. Wrong Motor, Needs work"


    Does that simplify?

          I couldn't make it past the first few "sentences." Does he even really talk about the condition of the truck?

            I think even better if he would hire one of those "fast talkers" who say the Legal stuff at the end of each and every Nissan commercial to read that WHOLE thing.

            Put that in an audio load on the ebay auction.

                Maybe that is the new way to sell a car, apparently 10 people(bidders) have already bought into his longwinded pile of useless jabber.

                  It's probably a great truck. But I've got to say I would be hesitant to bid just because I feel like hidden somewhere in that mass of text is a line that says "this auction is for the box only, not the actual unit".
