- In this video I show you how I buy used cars on Facebook Marketplace. I show the process of searching for cars, how to inspect the car, how to test drive, and how to negotiate. I also mention the important difference between buying a car to flip, and buying a car to keep.

This an interesting way to introduce a new car to your channel. You covered EVERYTHING about the testing and acquisition of your Saturn. A first-time buyer is well served watch this video. My first car and my final car were both bought used…the first one was purchased before the internet and mobile phones were the rage, lol!
Appreciate it! I can’t imagine buying a car without having the internet to tell you how to fix everything wrong with your vehicle
@@bluesxt Oh…isn’t THAT the truth? Why, today, I finally summoned the right videos and websites…and a lot o’ courage…to wipe out the Chrome OS on my NEW Chromebook and replace it with Debian 11.6. I’m still kinda stuck on figuring out why the “xfce” GUI doesn’t work. Still can’t wrap my head around the fact that when I run LibreOffice on it, that program’s built-in GUI DOES work. Not used to this stuff, but I’d be sunk without the internet. Enjoy daily driving your Saturn. I hope you enjoy making content with it, too. Aloha!
The only way I could do that
Thanks for the tips man I buy cars off Facebook sometimes and been ripped off so this helped.
Thanks! It happens to the best of us
Thank you so much for making this video. I got divorced last year and I'm a single mom. I'm about to buy a car but don't know what to look for 😅
Looking for a step dad for your kids I'm willing to step up
I disagree sir about not going far for test drive,you have to get that car up to about al least 55-65 for at least a few minutes to get that engine really hot
Maybe this is circumstantial, but what does test driving at 55-65 mph really tell you that you can’t find at lower speeds? Highway speeds is where you can find out if the wheels need to be balanced sure, but let’s be honest, is wheels needing to be balanced enough to prevent you from purchasing a car?
There are lots of reasons you’d want to drive highway speeds before purchasing a car, I just think it might be a bit circumstantial as the issues that could appear at highways speeds wouldn’t personally prevent me from making the purchase on that car. :)
@@bluesxtBrother there’s a lot. Wheel shake, struts, transmission issues happen at higher gears in autos. Etc.
You got a great car....Mine '98 has 273000 miles. Original drive train. No major repairs. She just developed an overheating issue, but Lord willing, my husband can fix it. We have the goal to get her to 300,000. If not, I have a parts car with a good motor/trans we can put in.
That’s awesome! Best of luck! These are great little cars
@@bluesxtI just found one on Facebook 113k miles very clean inside and out asking 2800 but we agreed to 2300 what do you think I'm in California
@@bluesxt Update....It was a bad ECTS and the radiator cap had hairline cracks in it.
@@Beth_Colvin that will do it! nice work
@@Beth_Colvin Those old S-series Saturns were WELL KNOWN for ECTS failures, I had a 95 SL1 back in the day that I upgraded the ECTS to the newer brass ones just as preventive maintenance since I was a regular in an online Saturn forum where I found out about them... Great cars though, little quirks with them but they had alot of character.
do you have a list you could share of these items ? would be great for sellers , flippers or buyers . thanks for the post !
So do I HAVE to go to the MVA the SAME day off purchase to get plates/registered ?
Every state is different but it’s typically 7-15 days after the sale date
if you are buying a car does the seller have to have the price already on the back when they notarize it? or can they do the price afterwards
not all states require the transaction to be notarized. but if yours does, then I’d imagine that everything needs to be completely completed before getting notarized
So how much did you pay for the car at the end? You said 200.00 off but what was the original price?
I would not pay more than 1,500, no ac, needs tired, pulls to the right, electrical problems, no AC, transmission leaking, oil leaking, I would ask for 1,200.00 or walk away
Nice rip @t=28:55!
amazing vedio thak you ,i respect guyes like you man ,please i have a question ,i see people selling many cars on facebook ,is it safe to buy from them as i never bought a car from facebook and as far as i know you have to buy a car from the real owner whos name on the title of the car ,but they say they have a title in hand .i just want to get a car and not spending many years paying a dealer loan ,thank you
All you need to legally buy a car is a title in someone’s name with their signature in the designated spots that release their liability and enables you to legally transfer the title into your name. You don’t have to buy the car from the person who’s name is on the title, you just need the title to be filled out correctly with no mistakes
How much did you spend on repairs ?
Less than $100, not including tires. Saturns are cheap to repair, and thankfully this didn’t need much.
What all paper work does the person selling have to have? Just the title?
The person selling just needs the title in their name
It'd be nice to have a bill of sale also. Something with a written agreement of what's being bought/sold with price and both your names signed
@@dee2804 absolutely! Though not required, you definitely want to have a bill of sale just incase! A bill of sale has saved me a few times already!
@@bluesxthow did a bill of sale save you? I want to buy a used car it’s in Philly about 4 hours from me. Should o say before hand hey I want a bill of sale??
@@RandyGBH always get a bill of sale. Example: I sold a car, and the same day the buyer drove that car through toll roads. Well the toll roads sent the bill to me because I was still the registered owner. I was able to send the toll road company the bill of sale to prove that I’m not responsible for paying that bill, and that the buyer is the responsible one here
It said Diesel Fuel type
Is 2000 a good price to buy a used car on fb marketplace if they said everything is good with the car?
depends on the car, condition, and miles. A truthful seller goes a long way however
@@bluesxti only have about $1500 to spend right now… i need to get to work, I’m not paying rent and will easily make $700-900 a week if i had a car. Only have a week to find a car until they let me go can i show you pictures on if if this car is a good purchase or not.
@@toxiicmayhemzz6686 pictures won’t help. what you need is someone who is mechanically inclined enough to look at the vehicle in person with you. if not, then follow some of the things I mention in the video. Keep it running for a while (15-20 mins) to make sure it doesn’t over heat. Check for leaks, make sure the oil isn’t foamy and no oil in the coolant. And if the car survives a test drive then it’s reasonable it will survive your drive back home. And then from there just keep an eye on the oil and coolant levels for the next couple of weeks.
But nothing is guaranteed reliable. Things go wrong. It happens
Step 1: Don't buy a Saturn. Good God!
saturn = best car
@@bluesxtSaturn = worst car
