It"s like saying an "old" Oliver. Yep, they are all about 40 years or more by now! Well, any pre-war tractor will be "old" as well, but they still tell you!
Probably means they have nothing to add apart from the obvious or sensational, or are trying to appear naive to a naive buyer. Lets face it, to many these days, 5 years is old; or they don"t realise things could be repaired, rather than discarded for a new model (like mobile phones?)

Now to the statistics - which are "lies, damn lies or worse" - how many have you actually seen with that precise combination of parts with a seat that is the wrong colour (sorry - that particular shade of wrong colour)? Not many, I would wager. So the advertiser is right.

Now to the terminolgy; "rare" is prolly used as the vocabulary is a bit stinted, or it is all relative to something that is "common". A million in a billion could be considered as rare as one in a thousand. Ratios, not actual numbers. Statistics again, I s"pose. "Awesome" - a bit OTT, but maybe he thinks it is?
Ah well, we will just have to put up with them, I daresay. They will not change. All we can do is ignore them and, of course, buyer beware!
