IMHO if you are in the high 5- low 6 figure price range for a classic  
car and you either do not know or can't be bothered to find out the  
meaning of a phrase that appears twice in the listing, then you are an  
idiot. Frankly if said bidder's IQ was any lower they would have to  
water them twice a week.
With that said no one ever went broke under estimating people's smarts.
