Question for people who actually shop for used cars. More and more listings take a normal phone photo from a parking lot and swap it for a clean image of the car on a professional studio background. Before/after example below.

As a buyer, what's your gut reaction: does the cleaned-up background make the listing look more professional and worth clicking, or does it feel fake, like the seller is hiding something? And does it change if it's a dealer vs a private seller? Just honest yes or no and why. Thanks.

Question for anyone who sells cars and writes their own listings. I keep seeing listings where a normal phone photo shot in a parking lot gets turned into a clean image of the car on a professional studio background. Before/after example below.

Honestly not sure if it helps, so asking straight: does a cleaned-up background make a listing sell faster and pull in more buyers, or does it look too fake, like something's being hidden? Just yes or no, and why. Trying to figure out if it's even worth doing. Thanks.
