Subjective perception

Perception

Perception is not objective, it is even very subjective. Today I discovered a good example of the subjectivity of perception. On Marktplaats we saw an advertisement about an Citroen DS Break. According the owner it was a good car, even a very good car, so called ‘concoursstaat’. However, the reality and the description on marktplaats shows a big difference. Yes, the paint was nice, no rust, but in the front the car leaked (2 liters water inside), the interior was not that nice, and the engine made a strange noise and run on 3 cylinders. Is that what a very good car should looks like? Is that a car what has been restored totally two years ago? Is that an example of ‘concoursstaat’?  In our opinion it is not, but according the perception of the seller it is! Strange..... but a clear example of the fact that a perception is subjective.

(Now we have to look further to find a good Citroen DS break, because it still is a nice Ghostbusters car;))
