I routinely browse the same sites (and others similar) just to keep my finger on the pulse of the used car market.
I have seen many ads where the text is clearly not for the car pictured. It's not the majority, but there are plenty of examples. One I saw just yesterday talked about the 9-5 Aero with some decent facts (like 250 HP, etc.)... Then it went into info on a BMW 325Xi. Clearly a cut and paste issue or something.
As to the come-ons... get used to it.
I saw a (beautifully kept) '02 9-3 on the list of craig that was advertised as a Viggen. The only thing Viggen on it was the pair of badges on the front quarter panels. I certainly hope anyone looking for a Viggen will notice that it's bumpers, seats, spoiler, oh, and ENGINE, are missing.
An educated buyer is a pain for these guys. The more discrepancy, the more ammunition you have to talk down the price. That is, assuming the car is nice enough to consider purchasing in the first place.
Cheers, and good luck.
