I just love how it ends with a rambling, “good deal you fix it” and nothing else. It sounds like a veiled threat.

Well this is certainly good to know - "KIA Sportage Clean Title! This vehicle is super reliable and comfortable! I never had any medical issues while owning it!"

Why Facebook Marketplace puts the F in Quality! 21 Results for a Sonic! Wow-ee!  Only 17 of them are the same car listed over and over and over! Of the remaining four, two of them are a repeat! Let's look at another handy Facebook Marketplace feature! Here's a general search for cars under 130k miles with hundreds of results - Lots of salvage titles, lots of rentals, and some regular cars thrown in.  Should we check out Facebook's handy dandy search refinements? How about "No Accident" vehicles?  Wow, it just eliminated everything! Including the listings with no accidents! Maybe we should try personal use?  This is why searching through Facebook is like diving for a piece of candy in a bin of used syringes.

Facebook is very broken, yes. But you can hide ads from individual sellers, thus eliminating the scumbag dealerships wholesale with a bit of clicking.

It's really unfortunate how bad every Craigslist successor is. They all seem to have put active effort into making filtering out reposts and stale listings difficult. But somehow they've also managed to pry away enough market share that Craigslist itself a shadow of what it used to be, too.

Midjack posted:You know, when you say it like that it really puts it into perspective. It's 'easy' for me to say because I have less reservations on doing it enough times, but I am not joking at all, not even a little bit. I'd rather shop the auctions myself, work with Yoshi over in Japan, and deal with an impersonal machine that exists solely to export a vehicle from there to me, wire tens of thousands of dollars to a foreign bank account, and wait 4~ months for it to arrive, deal with drivers and picking it up from port, then tackle the registration and that whole deal rather than even exchange a few text messages with your average facebook account holder. People were half-way joking about cars not being fun anymore in the New Car thread and I feel sort of the same way as that, but with dealing with the social aspect of cars is the bigger turn off for me. Dealerships and all that, god no thanks.

You just described a premium dealership experience, and You can have it all day long when shopping for a premium brand like Porsche. Obviously doesn't compare to sub $6k marketplace used car roulette. But the whole point of a used car market is that you need to gamble and put in enormous amounts of legwork to get the best deal. Otherwise roll to carvana/CarMax and pay through the nose for a hassle-free experience.

Otherwise roll to carvana/CarMax and pay through the nose for a hassle-free experience. Carvana is a dead end now, or at least I wouldn't trust it anymore. That IS where we did get our 2018 Land Cruiser, but that's more because there isn't many of them around at all so I was going to pay out the rear end for it no matter where I went. I also don't care about the best deal, I want to least hassle for the car I want. Places like Carvana are closer to that ideal but it's still tainted by the dumbassery that ruins your typical dealership, just instead of 'hassle' of dealing with a person that won't leave you the gently caress alone you get the 'hassle' of playing the game of 'Where is my title and is it even real?' with Carvana. I think it's more than North America is stupid as hell and dealerships being a lovely middleman is the main problem. I can say that too since I was a used car dealer

While I hate FB marketplace, something I'll give it over Gumtree is the ability to do this. I remember when I wanted to buy some camping gear and it was next to impossible to find stuff that wasn't the same local brick and mortar store listing brand new gear, guy swamped the section with hundreds of ads. Maybe that was his plan; make it impossible to find secondhand gear online so you had to shop at his store.

NitroSpazzz posted:Arrests no. Most of them are blatant scams of some type, the seller might not even be in the country and they're reusing pictures from old listings. They must be working too because they keep doing it. Most messages I get when I'm trying to sell something on marketplace are scams. Lol I had one of these, the coversation went like "I'll send you money through Zelle" I don't have Zelle cash only "Get Zelle then" gently caress off

Craiglist was a shadow of it's former self well before they started charging for personal car sales, people used facebook because everyone has facebook, easier to post for sale where you are already posting your minion memes about big pharma.

Ive had good luck buying and selling stuff however since my online bullshit detector is finely tuned.
