An open-ended search consumes hours and narrows nothing. The search only becomes useful once it is bounded. Filtering hard at the start feels restrictive and is the correct move. The short list is the point. The images are the useful part. How many were taken says something. A listing with four photographs is showing you four things and hiding the rest. Somebody with nothing to conceal photographs everything. Missing angles are informative. These absences are consistent across problem listings. Text repays attention. Somebody who can name the service intervals has been paying attention. Generic phrasing suggests a listing written quickly about a car nobody knows well. Neither is disqualifying and rapidely article both are worth noting. Annual average is the useful number. A very low figure for the age raises its own questions. A high figure with full documentation is frequently the better car. The reply is informative beyond its content. The quality of the reply predicts the quality of the viewing. The non-answer is an answer. Asking why the car is being sold remains the single most useful question. Anyone who bought without an exhausting search asked two questions before going anywhere.
