I fully expect terrible photographs of cars on Craigslist posts - ones that look like they have been taken by Stevie Wonder using a potato. Or ones which appear to be part of an art project which considers man’s infringement upon nature, wherein the existence of a blurry shadowy shape that somewhat resembles a motor vehicle is caught in the periphery of what is clearly a photograph of a squirrel.
But if you are an automotive dealer, i.e. you own a large business solely dedicated to the purchase and sale of motor vehicles, and you are attempting to market your wares through the internet, there is no excuse for poor photographs. At the very very VERY minimum, you need to post one clear exterior shot (preferably 45 degree shot of front and side), and one clear interior shot (preferably driver’s seat position showing instruments, dash).

Have there ever been worse dealer pictures than these? The crotch shot in these pics was a first for me.

And the crotch shot isn’t even that good!

The struggle is real.

To be fair the quality of photo’s here reflect the quality of the vehicle.

The crotch shot made me literally laugh out loud. Pretty sure my dogs think I’m crazy now.

The license plate thumb always cracks me up.

To be fair, it is a Jeep Patriot.

I’m with WhiteTrashSteve...it’s a Patriot, anyone that buys one of those isn’t car shopping on the internet anyway. They just go into a dealership and say - “I would like one Jeep please. I have crap credit and no desire to own anything of quality. That white one looks dandy.”

That’s probably accurate. I guess I deserved to see that crotch shot when I took a risk and broadened my daily time wasting auto search from “GTI, 3-series, 5-series, M, X-1, E-Class, AMG, Mini, Miata, FoST, WRX” to “What is available in the marketplace with a stickshift and less than 45,000 miles for under $19,000?”

What about passenger seat thumb/finger?
