My dad brought a used car year's ago it was a old banger £1000 probably twice that now with inflation he paid for it ( I think in full ) and when he picked it up it had a extra 210 miles on there attitude was it has 130000 miles on it so what he said it was sold you did this on my car
This is a deal breaker for me. If I have a deposit down, you touch that car for cleaning only. I'll watch your videos but wouldn't recommend you as a dealer.
I recently sold a 21 year year old motorcycle on Craigslist. It ran well and the price was fair. I mentioned in the ad that I didn't want it anymore because I now only ride my much newer motorcycle. I had a couple people ask me if I could give them the bike for free since I already had another one. I also had a couple of people that wanted to set up a payment plan with me (and the total payments was still less than my asking price). I ended up selling the bike to a middle-aged man who bought it for his son. Since the price was more than fair, he didn't try negotiating. He gave me a check, we went to his bank, and I got the cash. Why can't everyone be like that?
Hi Craig, I sell cars for friends and family out of my driveway so they don't lose money on trade in. I hate marketplace but unfortunately it's where people look so I am forced to list the there. However I have found something that helps to comb through the crap you mentioned in this video. I have found people don't read the description and only scroll through the pictures. I take amazing photos of the vehicles I sell so the first one always stands out the second picture I now have a PDF photo saying the price and reasonable offers considered by serious buyers in person only. Online offers of any kind will not be considered and will be ignored. It has practically eliminated the problems for me.
I sell cars online too but because you don’t accept offers through text, would you consider it a waste of your time when people come to look at the car in person and only offers an amount you’re not willing to take?
Auction Tips- we do a "tag team" approach to pre-auction. Much quicker & easier, one hooks OB2 Scanner, other checks tires, wheels. etc, One starts engine guns engine, other is looking under hood at engine same time, and exhaust, brake lights, and fluids etc.. All options and windows checked out, total time 5-8 min per vehicle. Alone, a 30pt inspection would take 20-30min. Or go visit a new car dealer, for all his over 100k trade-ins, no auction needed. Brandon Ford, Tampa, will not keep any trade-ins over the 3yr/36k factory warranty, everything else is auctioned.
Omg I died laughing watching you go through all the offers 💀💀💀💀 I sold on marketplace for years and stopped a couple years ago because of what you just showed 😂
Solution? State in ad: "ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE proof of valid DL / current insurance and funds / pre-approved loan / or confirmation through our lenders to test drive, no exceptions period" what's your thoughts Craig? Anyone?
@@alexisstarsmith1477 The problem is people don't read the ads. I used to sell cars on FB Marketplace (and Craigslist) and had lengthy ads that fully described the vehicle along with any damage/defects. I also took pictures of any damage. If I had a nickle for every person that asked if there was any damage, I'd be a millionaire.
Car sales especially on market place is brutal. Everyone is an expert and everyone has a friend who bought one for cheaper. It’s a joke. Kudos to you for handling it so well. I’ll do a few flips a year for some passive income but definitely not quitting my day job anytime soon
Thnx You are always entertaining I'm 65 been dealing with cars sales yadayada FOR YEARS Craig spot on with the wanna be buyers. Happy New year to!!! God Bless
8:44 ha, I've got that exact gun. Used to use it a LOT when I made custom cabinets to do touch ups and marks that occurred during the install. I also had an airbrush too.....
Once I forgot to use the parking brake on my 370Z. By chance I went to my garage and the car was right by the garage door. If anyone would to open the garage door, it would have scratched the bumper at the least. I quickly move it and engaged the parking brake - a must on every manual.
As long as the IMS bearing has been changed you should be ok on the Boxster, if it hasn't, you are in trouble, unless you find someone who doesn't know or care about the hand grenade sitting behind them. Oh and a Q8 though it's detuned in the Audi.
The thing I really like about the 370z, is that the interior shares the upmarket fitment of the R35 Skyline. Where as the 350z’s are shabby looking IMO. The 370 is a really nice improvement in overall fit and finish quality from the 350.
It's tough selling a car like that right now. It's winter so not as many people would want to have fun with it now. But at the same time it's good to sell it before car prices start dropping
FB Marketplace is a supreme PITA when selling almost anything. The buyers with the stupid questions, the low-ball offers and frankly, the threats and the sellers with the unreasonable expectations just do not make it worth it for me. Good video.
I'm a dealer in San diego and have the same issues whenever I buy infiniti g35/g37s.. I now don't allow test drives on these cars because of the kids / tire kickers...
I get the same here in the UK over cars like these to the point were I don’t answer emails anymore as I have found the serious buyers will always phone and talk to you in person, so know how you feel..
Your FB Marketplace schtick was hilarious. Let me know if you need someone to filter those responses for you. Gratis. I'm retired in Florida and bored. Great video - thanks!
Just a suggestion when parking a manual transmission car with or without a hand brake or e brake always leave the car in second gear or fourth gear. The stick will never pop into neutral..
I’ve bought and sold powerstrokes 03-10’s and I ran into the same thing best deal around on bulletproofed and gone through trucks and they offer you 6500 for a $15k truck that you have 12 in
Hey Craig, thanks for the vid today. Sold a truck today on market place and man it was wild dealing with it. Thanks for the awesome content always and showing us even you an experience salesman becomes frustrated. Happy holidays.
I buy and resell shoes on the side and you explained exactly why I don't sell on Facebook Marketplace anymore. Too many lowball offers, people asking questions that were answered in the description, people not responding when they message you 1st just wasting your time, etc.
Every thing about this video is so correct . When I sell on market place I think that every one thinks it's customary that you have to give them a deal under the asking price.
I hate dealing with people on Marketplace. I was selling a 6 place snowmobile trailer some years back, all rebuilt with new decking, axles and tires and was asking 1600.00 for a starting price. One guy texts me and says he has 400 cash. I text him back "as a deposit? When would you have the rest?" and he replies "Just the 400.00" . I laughed at him and blocked his acct. As for the Urus equivalent, my guess is an SQ8. If that is it, that a nice ride and I am looking forward to the video on that. Happy New Year to you and your family Craig!
We have the same problem here in the firearms business. People mod the hell out of something, bring it in to sell it, and think they’ve made it more valuable. Just a big fat headache for the new buyer.
Bravo. I’ve sold many cars in my 66 years, going back to print newspaper ads. They always do one of two things. Either a ridiculous lowball swing-for-the-fence like Alfred E. Newman hitting on the prettiest girl at the party, or the “what’s your best price?”. First one’s easy. Second one, i take them to school. “The price is in the ad.” “Yeah, but…”. “There’s no ‘yeah, but’. Here’s how this works. You make an offer, i make a counteroffer, and we either meet somewhere between them or we don’t. But I’m not going to negotiate with myself. That’s stupid.” By that time, most of them have that look toddlers get when you try to explain the Second Law of Thermodynamics. These people are out walking freely among us…
I think that Boxster is a good deal if the seller accepts your bid. A previous owner replaced the top with an aftermarket glass window product which is a nice upgrade. If you had attempted to operate a top with the plastic rear window (the only option available until the 2003 model year) you risked cracking it.
People who tried to negotiate without driving car were ignored by me back when I was in the game. Usually had cars sold before I bought them, wholesaler. Enjoy your content
The negotiations are my biggest pet peeve as well. Especially when I allready put a price then they want me to bid against myself by asking what's the lowest.
Hi yes it is as of this morning but I do have someone wanting to see it tomorrow. When would you like to take a look at it? Solves this problem 9/10 times.
I just tell them the price I listed it at.. ends the conversation quick. FB is a real pain especially for someone that really does not have a lot of time to play the games.
I woulda painted the entire front bumper. Not much more work and it would have looked much better. I think that's taking care of the customer more than blending.
totally agree. trying to sell a 2016 low mileage wrangler unlimited in the family. i know the market. the stupid offers keep rolling in. finally agreed to sell to a dealer in pa, for less than i was hoping, but a fair price. unfortunately, the owner passed away before the bank released the pay off, so we have to wait for power of attorney. luckily, it seems the dealer is willing to wait due to the condition of the vehicle. if i get interested in a car on fb, ill try to haggle a little, but some of these clowns you get are rediculous!!
Mate. Love your attitude . I’m in Australia and I was a flipper a few years ago and used to sell cars for mates before marketplace. I’m now renting cars and buy and sell a bit. I can’t do marketplace for exactly why you’ve just done through. Now all my surplus goes to auction. Not only does it remove the need for me to be a dealer here legally, but it removes the agro that marketplace idiots cause. These jokers need to be told.
Facebook marketplace and offerup has pissed me off so much to the point I don’t want to sell vehicles anymore because of annoying customers. One wasted my time saying he was on his way… cut to 5 hours later and still nothing.
Pretty sure you can sign up for an insurance policy and pay monthly. If you cancel early, you get a refund back. If a driver chooses not to have insurance, that's on them. But for the test drive and while they're shopping for a car, they can get a policy, even if it's temporary
I love looking at your channel as we're pretty much doing the same over there and we bought about 2 months ago also a 370z that we've got to sell pretty quick at a good price too. You're right they start to be pretty rare in an unmodified condition and those are really good values on the market right now. A lot you said in your videos are pretty common with us even being in another part of the world and this is very funny actually ;)
Facebook is a joke to sell things. I sold a Ducati Panigale R and had an idiot trying to offer 9k for it. I ended up selling it for asking price of 17.5k. Book was 21k, that Facebook guy kept trying to negotiate his last offer was 12k which was below trade price that a dealer would offer. He was rude to the very end saying it wasn't worth my asking. I blocked him after letting him know it sold for asking and to stop wasting people's time.
Craig, wait you sold the Audi S4? I have been waiting and waiting to see it up for sale on your website? And it's gone? I am not saying I would have definitely bought it, but I was intrigued. Shame.
Congrats on the Nissan sold for asking! The Boxster have mostly Hex, which was a PIA to find back then! Yeah ther than that I think electrical can be a pain sometimes as it refuse to start. Great vid! Thanks for going through the pain of FB marketplace with us!!
Thats pretty clean for a 2009 they took good care of that one. I've seen 4 year old nissans look like 30 year old cars. Do you know what kind of exhaust they put on that nissan?
Craig, am from Canada, it’s next to impossible to buy anything by check up here unless it’s a certified check or money order issued by the bank to guarantee the funds. How do you accept them?
I'm from Canada too and said the same thing. Even certified you have to be careful because the stamps and punches can be faked. Here the car doesn't leave the lot until the funds are actually in the dealer's bank account.
I am in Canada as well and I once had someone try to give me a fake cashier cheque. The only way I buy or sell with a cashier cheque is both parties go to the bank and the buyer buys the cheque on the spot in front of the seller. The best scenario (which rarely happens) is if both parties use the same bank.
Even certified checks can be denied payment when presented at the bank, at least in Texas. It simply requires buying a bond from an insurance broker. I once paid $50 for a bond to avoid being scammed by another used car dealer and his mechanic shop. I wholesaled the car after the other dealer test drove it. He thought he had a buyer. When his deal fell through he tried to get me to take the car back. I refused so he bounced the draft. He took the car to his mechanic and they contacted me saying I owed $500 . They claimed they had disassembled the tranny and it needed a syncro gear. They told me the put the tranny back together but didn't install the $50 part. I handed them a cashiers check and when it hit my bank my bank refused payment as I had already given them a copy of the bond.
Listed my 350Z for sale and was literally swamped with calls from everywhere and many of them annoying just like you shared. Luckily the very first guy to come an look at it was a decent young adult, no problems, went with him for a test drive around the block, paid the asking price same day....but I'd never want to sell one of those again!
I sold my car on Facebook marketplace and I had a crazy amount of ridiculously low ball offers including one person offering me a clapped out base model version of the same car. When my car was fully loaded every option
That strange that US Dealers.not got red dealerplates..that you can put on any car..for testdrives,or transport them...since 1990 only dealers can get them..these tags cost min.900 a year..and they can be suspended if you give them to a private Person..that only can get 5 day temporary plates..( 100$)for a technical good car but is not transferable anymore..happy new year from Germany.🥳👍🇺🇸🇪🇺
Selling anything on FB marketplace is a PIA. Whether it be a car, a refrigerator, a piece of furniture or whatever. The ones i hate the most are the ones that schedule to look at it at a specific day but don't show up then a few days later they ask if the item is still available.
Hey Craig, love your videos, I have a question though. How many cars does your dealership usually sell monthly or yearly? I'm looking into starting my own dealership with my brother here soon and your videos help a lot!! Thank you
Hey Craig, Did you know you can set up an auto responding bot for the people at marketplace? It’s gonna be a pain in the butt to semi automate it But trust me, you’ll save a ton of headaches… For example, set up the bot that says. “Yes it is” when they ask the damn “is it available?” And from there a message to schedule a call with you
Two thoughts: 1) The Boxster is a fantastic car to drive, regardless of which motor it has. Even the tiptronic transmission version is fun to drive. 2) That particular motor in this one sounds exactly like the motor in our Sienna minivan. Not especially thrilling unless you're into that sort of thing. Smooth, yes. Great sounding... meh not so much.
When they ask me “what’s the lowest you’ll take?” I respond with “the lowest I’ll take is the best offer I get” …why would I take less than the best offer I get?
I thought you didn’t take deposits or checks? Your Facebook Marketplace experience is exactly what I had selling a bunch of stuff on there while moving. It’s absolutely maddening and your needle prick analogy is perfect!
I stopped selling this kind of cars. People just come in saying "Hey, I want to test drive that, can I have the keys?" (they don't even ask for the price or anything about the car, just to have a ride). Not gonna happen! Plus, we have a mandatory 12 months warranty on every used car, wich is a perfect pain when you sell things like these that will be 100% beaten by the kid driving it. No, thanks! Facebook marketplace is like hell, I can really relate with what you said. At one point, you're unable to tolerate the amount of ridiculous "offers" from people just looking for a steal. Greetings from Italy and happy new year!
Craig this is the best market place come back I have come up with when they ask what’s the lowest I will take I simply reply what’s the most you are willing to pay? And just keep repeating when they think you don’t understand what they are asking
During 25 years of being a used car dealer I never once let a "sold" car be driven. Craig just demonstrated why.
Yeah I agree, especially when it's personal use. One deposit is down, park it up and light prep for buyer. But each to their own I guess 😜
I wonder if his online dealer school has a section on how not to drive something that has a deposit.
My dad brought a used car year's ago it was a old banger £1000 probably twice that now with inflation he paid for it ( I think in full ) and when he picked it up it had a extra 210 miles on there attitude was it has 130000 miles on it so what he said it was sold you did this on my car
I think that crash was before it got sold.
This is a deal breaker for me. If I have a deposit down, you touch that car for cleaning only. I'll watch your videos but wouldn't recommend you as a dealer.

Good ideas

The messages brought back ptsd when I sold my infinity. My goodness lol.
Market place is 80% salvage cars and 90% “is this available”… 10% are actually willing to buy a car and not give stupid offers.
You should make a compilation of the worst and funniest Facebook conversations, I would definitely enjoy it
Yes!
I'd watch that!

Great video, Craig. Happy new year!
Here in B.C., Canada, car dealers are required to have dealer plates for test drives.
You're awesome by sharing it with us!!!
I could just watch videos about your conversations with the Facebook marketplace crowd. It is gold.
Good videos. They show are your talents, and you speak eloquently.

Congrats on the Nissan sold for asking! The Boxster have mostly Hex, which was a PIA to find back then! Yeah ther than that I think electrical can be a pain sometimes as it refuse to start. Great vid! Thanks for going through the pain of FB marketplace with us!!
Craig,
Can you do a "shorts" series with all the funny/ridiculous conversations you have with tire-kickers? Lol
Will do
I'm surprised that you guys in USA still have checks, we don't have them, haven't seen them for 15 years
NZ
Thats pretty clean for a 2009 they took good care of that one. I've seen 4 year old nissans look like 30 year old cars. Do you know what kind of exhaust they put on that nissan?
I thought you said you NEVER take deposits?!?
Craig, am from Canada, it’s next to impossible to buy anything by check up here unless it’s a certified check or money order issued by the bank to guarantee the funds. How do you accept them?
I'm from Canada too and said the same thing. Even certified you have to be careful because the stamps and punches can be faked.
Here the car doesn't leave the lot until the funds are actually in the dealer's bank account.
I am in Canada as well and I once had someone try to give me a fake cashier cheque. The only way I buy or sell with a cashier cheque is both parties go to the bank and the buyer buys the cheque on the spot in front of the seller. The best scenario (which rarely happens) is if both parties use the same bank.
Even certified checks can be denied payment when presented at the bank, at least in Texas. It simply requires buying a bond from an insurance broker. I once paid $50 for a bond to avoid being scammed by another used car dealer and his mechanic shop. I wholesaled the car after the other dealer test drove it. He thought he had a buyer. When his deal fell through he tried to get me to take the car back. I refused so he bounced the draft. He took the car to his mechanic and they contacted me saying I owed $500 . They claimed they had disassembled the tranny and it needed a syncro gear. They told me the put the tranny back together but didn't install the $50 part. I handed them a cashiers check and when it hit my bank my bank refused payment as I had already given them a copy of the bond.
If it’s an rsQ8 I’ve been searching. I’d love to buy a bit over wholesale 😅. Loved the marketplace segment! Very funny
When I listed my 92 Nissan Sentra for $1,500 on MP I had one person in particular ask if I would take welfare checks as payment.
Listed my 350Z for sale and was literally swamped with calls from everywhere and many of them annoying just like you shared. Luckily the very first guy to come an look at it was a decent young adult, no problems, went with him for a test drive around the block, paid the asking price same day....but I'd never want to sell one of those again!
I sold my car on Facebook marketplace and I had a crazy amount of ridiculously low ball offers including one person offering me a clapped out base model version of the same car. When my car was fully loaded every option
That strange that US Dealers.not got red dealerplates..that you can put on any car..for testdrives,or transport them...since 1990 only dealers can get them..these tags cost min.900 a year..and they can be suspended if you give them to a private Person..that only can get 5 day temporary plates..( 100$)for a technical good car but is not transferable anymore..happy new year from Germany.🥳👍🇺🇸🇪🇺
Love this video. The nightmares of selling on market place video def on point. Lol
I currently have a 2013 370z, 64k miles, auto but I'm sending it back through copart when I receive my title because I don't want all that headache
Guess on the teaser car? Hum...a 1987 Yugo GV Fastback with a two speed tranny with the shifter probably located in the glove box...
Selling anything on FB marketplace is a PIA. Whether it be a car, a refrigerator, a piece of furniture or whatever. The ones i hate the most are the ones that schedule to look at it at a specific day but don't show up then a few days later they ask if the item is still available.
Something you forgot to mention about the dashcam... It's pre-order only. Not available until at least March 2023.
Hey Craig, love your videos, I have a question though. How many cars does your dealership usually sell monthly or yearly? I'm looking into starting my own dealership with my brother here soon and your videos help a lot!! Thank you
If I may ask, why do you wait so long before releasing your videos? Thanks, love your posts!
What was the date of this car sale? Because I think that dealer pricing has gone farther south since then.
I enjoy your perspective.
Seeing your market place is funny to watch lol
Hey Craig, Did you know you can set up an auto responding bot for the people at marketplace?
It’s gonna be a pain in the butt to semi automate it
But trust me, you’ll save a ton of headaches…
For example, set up the bot that says. “Yes it is” when they ask the damn “is it available?”
And from there a message to schedule a call with you
There already is, yes are you still interested but ik wym like come see it on our business hours ___
Two thoughts: 1) The Boxster is a fantastic car to drive, regardless of which motor it has. Even the tiptronic transmission version is fun to drive.
2) That particular motor in this one sounds exactly like the motor in our Sienna minivan. Not especially thrilling unless you're into that sort of thing. Smooth, yes. Great sounding... meh not so much.
Price is fair for the mileage and year make and model
Did they make a cayenne with the tt v8 also,used in the urus? That’s my guess
I have a '16 sti with 40k miles listed fairly low at 24k not a single person has come to see it. Stock beautiful clean car
I think the Audi q8 and Porsche Cayenne have the same engine as the urus but toned down. it could also be an rs6 but I doubt it
I said sq8 forgot all about the Porsche ! But maybe some crashed shit
When they ask me “what’s the lowest you’ll take?” I respond with “the lowest I’ll take is the best offer I get” …why would I take less than the best offer I get?
Iam interested in 04 corvette how much are you asking
I thought you didn’t take deposits or checks? Your Facebook Marketplace experience is exactly what I had selling a bunch of stuff on there while moving. It’s absolutely maddening and your needle prick analogy is perfect!
I stopped selling this kind of cars. People just come in saying "Hey, I want to test drive that, can I have the keys?" (they don't even ask for the price or anything about the car, just to have a ride). Not gonna happen!
Plus, we have a mandatory 12 months warranty on every used car, wich is a perfect pain when you sell things like these that will be 100% beaten by the kid driving it. No, thanks!
Facebook marketplace is like hell, I can really relate with what you said. At one point, you're unable to tolerate the amount of ridiculous "offers" from people just looking for a steal.
Greetings from Italy and happy new year!
What did you pay for the f150?
could you give me a quick example as to how you price the value of the cars you sell?
@@lazydayB2B how does that help? that’s not what i asked for?
@@lazydayB2B still doesn’t help…
i dont have any issues selling my srt8 jeeps its kinda my thing i like suvs and the srt8 platform ive sold about 7 of them alone and have several more
Craig this is the best market place come back I have come up with when they ask what’s the lowest I will take I simply reply what’s the most you are willing to pay? And just keep repeating when they think you don’t understand what they are asking
Hey Craig, how about a video of just your Facebook market place messages!
Did you let the buy know about the damage that was done or was it part of hidden damage that buyers are no aware of?
What state does not require at least liability?
Oh man your Ram sounds same as mine so I assume it’s deleted😁 but yeah that bo bo bo that engine makes is amazing
