When sellers refuse to budge on the price and only do so by $200 for something that's overpriced at least from my experience, that's a huge ass red flag.
My Corvette is best Corvette because it was manufactured on this exact day in this exact spec after I ate this exact pasta at this exact restaurant, therefore it is RARE
The address scam is really a pain. I flipped out at the douche for making me drive around 60 kms for the car I was about to buy a car in a country with 260% tax on fuel nonetheless. Oh and surprise surprise, the car had a broken axle in the back
You got a tax on fuel as in gasoline at 260% in your country? Ouch that sounds like going electric being a decent alternative to make things more economical and very expandable for future upgrading in range and performance without a drawback dragging it down.
Number 5 happens a lot when their girl tells them it's time to sell the project, put it up for 3 times the price and then still talking about not wanting to sell when they get that offer.
I absolutely hate it when people on offerup clearly have an automatic transmission but they mark it as manual and in the description they always say "it's automatic not manual".
I've seen that *SO* many times, and I'm just so done with it. I moved over to FB marketplace, now I see a people listing money down, instead of an actual price.
@@florida-boy Dealers should stay off platforms that weren't originally intended for them. Search literally any car specifically on Craigslist and you get some ramdom ass SUV or some shit because the post has commonly searched cars in the way bottom of the description.

The car mod thing is very similar to people who install things like a pool at their house. Yes it can raise the value a bit but it also decreases the amount of people who will make an offer on the house. Also the maintenance over time is something that will also cut into the selling price.
Especially for houses; you can spend that money on renovating the house, but if the buyers are going to renovate it anyway, your renovation wouldn't increase the price at all. (Well, some who aren't going to renovate it would maybe be able to increase the price a bit)
I had a bit of aftermarket parts that I included with a car I sold. Due to running out of money for an install and lack of knowledge and skill to do it myself. I had enough money for the install when I bought the parts but I had an emergency to pay.
once i saw a $600 1967 Dodge Charger for sale and obviously I clicked on it and the description said "asking $60,000. The following photos are of when it was at its prime. no lowballers, i know what i have" I ALMOST DIED LAUGHING
In Europe we have the site called OLX which actually does image search so you can't add advertisement if you use pictures from Google images. This way you can be almost sure that the pictures are real or at least made by seller.
A while back a "friend" of mine wanted my help selling his car while he was out of the country, and he was like: "Write down Good As New, Absolute Mint Condition" and I told him "I'm not gonna write that! It has a big dent in the passenger side door, and you can see it was rear-ended when you lift up the trunk lining!" and he was like: "Whatever, just take pictures of everything but the right side, bro! It'll be fine! Once they've come all the way to look at it they'll buy it anyway" So yeah, he was still abroad when he calls ME to go to HIS place because a guy was coming to look at it, and I was the one who had to apologize to some understandably pissed rando about a car that wasn't even mine.
Like I managed to negotiate with a person to sell a product for 90 pounds or something, and then they want to reduce the amount after I accepted their offer. They said they're "negotiating". But that's not how it works.
Most of these aren't a problem where I live you could drive from one side of the country to the other in an hour or two so if the car isn't as good as the photos you didn't waste a lot of time compared to a long trip in the us
description " car is in mint condition no problems" also car : i have rust and failed recent test description : "one lady owner never been driven hard" reality : "car was redlined 24/7 took a shit in the back seat and pissed in the petrol tank"
My aunt once bought a Civic that the dealer claimed had always belonged to an old lady who only drove it to the store... it had some pretty sick rims and a stainless cat back tho... I didn't have the heart to tell her -_-
"one lady owner" to me just means that it probably hasnt been serviced properly and lots of basic maintenence has been ignored. I know that not all woman are like that. But it just yells red flag to me.
I was looking at car gurus last night and someone was selling a 2019 Corvette Z01 for 190k. It has 14 miles on it and still has the plastic covers on the seats. It makes me sad to see a car like that just sit in a garage.
I think I've seen that before, and with so many more things as well, even on Tinder; "I don't know why it says 26, I'm 46" because you entered the wrong birth year to try to scam people.
“If nobody comes down here and buys a car in the next hour, I'm gonna club this baby seal. That's right! I'm gonna club this seal to make a better deal. You know I'll do it, too, cause I'm crazy!”
I’ve heard stories from guys who were catfished by older photos. One horn dog I worked with was bragging about who he was meeting. This was 2005 when that sorta thing wasn’t seen as acceptable like it is today. Next day he shows up, uncharacteristically glum. Finally got him to talk and said she didn’t look anything like her pic. Apparently it was 16 years old, and forty pounds ago. He still hit it though
I like how the dude in the waifu car is outdrifting pretty much everybody else there. I just hope he had a waifu body pillow in the passenger seat to rub it in.
I'm guilty of "testing the waters" with a feeler post but I ended up selling the car anyway. It was more of a "if I can actually get this much for the car then fuck yeah I'm selling it" post than anything.
One of my friends was buying a car and arranged a meeting with the seller and after a 2hour drive to the sellers place they told my friend they aren't ready to get rid of the car just yet and sent my friend home. I know this is not really a selling habit but it's just an annoyance that also happens when buying used cars
I saw one person sell a car with teddy bear wheels and was selling it for 4k more. In the description they said they had stock wheels so i asked for them and the dude said “you still have to get the other wheels and then buy the stock wheels for 2k more”. I have never even bother looking ip cars again after that
I remembered the time when I searched for used G37s. I found one. The description basically said that it's his personal car, and he has many memories with it. After that, I was like, no man, keep your car, byebye.
I had the last one, got ghosted when I wanted to get my first car (didn't even say "treading waters" )so instead of a Suzuki Ignis Sport is was a (comparatively, not actually) boring Hyundai Getz 1.6 :(
Thanks for mentioning that first point, I was looking for a Toyota Tercel and found one that had a photo from google, it also said “engine knocking” so I guess I dodged a bullet there
My dad bought a 2005 Mazda 3 sport hatchback 12 years ago and the dude said it was in an accident, ended up driving that car for 10 years before the body started falling apart and only paid $500
One I’ve heard of before is if someone is selling a car similar to yours, but for more money. They will act as a fake buyer so that you make it as pending or in negotiations and then ghost you so that real buyers will go to them instead.
Can't forget about the sellers that offer something like a Volkswagen and they're like; "Volkswagen, Saab, Subaru, Mercedes, Audi, Chrysler, Kia, Honda, Mazda, Chevy, Toyota" at the bottom or in the title to try and get their car to pop up in every search.
I live in a state with a little bit more than 1 million people. And used trucks are generally a list price or nothing thing because if you are lucky enough to be the first in line you have 3-4 people behind you.
As one from Southern California, it's pretty easy to tell the fake photos because they have GREEN grass, no hills, and brick housing in the picture. Then they have the audacity to drop the location mark in the center of downtown
I have seen a lot of commits of people saying the seller says "I know what I have" or "I know what it's worth" and my reply to that is ALWAYS "well why are you selling?" If you know what you have and its value to you then why sell it??? Sometimes it ends negotiations on the spot and sometimes it cuts right through the BS. Anytime I've bought a car I go in with a max number already worked out and I'm honest in what I think of the car and what I think they seller is doing and I'm firm at my value. I only end up buying like 1 out of every 60 cars I go look at but I've made good money over the years doing it.
Here in Germany we have the opposite of the "1$ listing" If someone's like, trying to easily get the most expensive 3 series, they're expecting either the E46 M3 GTR or the E30 M3 Evo 2, but NO, IT'S A FUCKING 3 SERIES COMPACT 318D LISTED FOR TWICE THE PRICE OF A FERRARI 250 GTO
it's a similar deal with motorcycle sales you'll see a bike listed as "never been laid down" and then you see a picture of the tank and it has a massive dent in it or some guy selling their Harley that they threw a ton of mods on and now they think the bike is worth $20,000 when it ain't
Same thing applies to trying to find an antique or vintage fan. I swear there’s people who put a REALLY nice listing of some vintage General Electric fan for a great price. And they put their location as “Boston”. But then you look on the map. And the dude lives in the most rural middle of nowhere town you’ve never heard of.
One thing that I really like about some of the straight shooters out there keeping a bottle from their last oil change. Yeah they could fake it but I don't think anybody would take the time to
one thing that is annoying is when you're looking for a car and you see a bunch of post not actually selling anything they are just asking that if you find some particular car you tell them
You know what pisses me off as a seller? Everyone's first question is just "Whats your lowest" when its said price is firm. Then they get mad when i tell them it is the sticker price, or they waste my time. You can negotiate when you have seen the car in person and are prepared to buy it from me, not as your first question.
"what's your lowest" it's such a bad question anyway; if I valued something at 50 I've valued it at 50. Plus with such question, the seller is likely to just reduced the price a little bit, but is willing to reduce it more if you're actually trying to negotiate. At least that's my experience reading posts of people trying to negotiate.
My mom basically makes up lies and whole stories to sell our car because the truth would “look bad” and lose potential buyers. The truth: she bought a smart, its too small, makes her feel unsafe, and she doesnt like the experience anymore.
I notice another one when looking for a car to buy. It's the one where they have a car up for sell and then in the description it says they looking for parts to buy for said vehicle
Had someone say they had a "perfect paint" 250,000 mile Celica. Got there and the cars door wasnt even the same color as the rest of the car and the fender had obviously been badly mended. same dude on his gfs tried selling a dodge csx-t that they forgot to mention had been modified and missing the radio and ac. Leaked oil like crazy too. Can't trust anyone with cars now
I once found a 53 Packard clipper for super cheap on cargurus, looked junky as hell but was still super cool. So I checked the website they said to go to for information and according to their website the car doesn't exist. In fact they didn't have anything older than 2012 on the entire lot.
TL:DR 1. When people use Google images or an older photo for a thumbnail 2. Setting location to Closest Big City 3. Adding mod value spent on top of the car value 4. Setting car mileage to 1 so it appears first when sorting by mileage 5. Wasting everyone's time on ego For more details, please watch video, it's worth it.
i hate when dealers list their cars under the private section of some sites but yet you can still tell from the first picture that a dealer owns the car

Again the "My Loss is Your Gain" is a good sign to not buy unless you know how to rebuild an engine XD

finally some real entertainment

"Deceptive Trade Practices" is probably a better fit than false advertising.
"100 000 miles"
"Chassis driven 500 000 miles but swapped to 100 000mile engine"
If that was true, and not disclosed in the description, that is fraud. To the law, the chassis is the car, the engine is just a replaceable part.
@@andrewolson5471 if often is told, but is annoying cause the miles of the engine are writted as the miles of the car so you click the ad for nothing.
@@kaisuhina8024 yeah, I hear you there. It's still scummy and deceptive no matter how you look at it.
These are spot on, tbh.....also, love the use of the HI3 bridge theme ^^
I like your channel because i learnt a lot... before owning my first car
Perfect! I am watching this in class. I really enjoyed this video.
My dad bought a 2005 Mazda 3 sport hatchback 12 years ago and the dude said it was in an accident, ended up driving that car for 10 years before the body started falling apart and only paid $500
“Like new” just stained seats and broken tailights
One I’ve heard of before is if someone is selling a car similar to yours, but for more money. They will act as a fake buyer so that you make it as pending or in negotiations and then ghost you so that real buyers will go to them instead.
One of the worst things is when you find a cheap car and you see the listing and it turns out its only for parts.
Can't forget about the sellers that offer something like a Volkswagen and they're like;
"Volkswagen, Saab, Subaru, Mercedes, Audi, Chrysler, Kia, Honda, Mazda, Chevy, Toyota" at the bottom or in the title to try and get their car to pop up in every search.
Ayyy the honkai impact 3rd bridge music in the background,love it
9:30 that’s what happened to me a couple days ago 🤦🏻
I live in a state with a little bit more than 1 million people. And used trucks are generally a list price or nothing thing because if you are lucky enough to be the first in line you have 3-4 people behind you.
Came for more shitty selling habits, enjoyed my stay with the addition to the drifting Nezuko
Just has small scratch
The scratch: *The bumper is non existent*
As one from Southern California, it's pretty easy to tell the fake photos because they have GREEN grass, no hills, and brick housing in the picture.
Then they have the audacity to drop the location mark in the center of downtown
Coincidence i stumbled on this video. I was drifting white rx8 class d4 that sunday event
Sounds like we need a part 3 of stupid car selling habits.
I sent this video to a friend,glad you uploaded it before he did something stupid
“Runs great”
“Needs new head”
I have seen a lot of commits of people saying the seller says "I know what I have" or "I know what it's worth" and my reply to that is ALWAYS "well why are you selling?" If you know what you have and its value to you then why sell it??? Sometimes it ends negotiations on the spot and sometimes it cuts right through the BS. Anytime I've bought a car I go in with a max number already worked out and I'm honest in what I think of the car and what I think they seller is doing and I'm firm at my value. I only end up buying like 1 out of every 60 cars I go look at but I've made good money over the years doing it.
Here in Germany we have the opposite of the "1$ listing"
If someone's like, trying to easily get the most expensive 3 series, they're expecting either the E46 M3 GTR or the E30 M3 Evo 2, but NO, IT'S A FUCKING 3 SERIES COMPACT 318D LISTED FOR TWICE THE PRICE OF A FERRARI 250 GTO
it's a similar deal with motorcycle sales you'll see a bike listed as "never been laid down" and then you see a picture of the tank and it has a massive dent in it or some guy selling their Harley that they threw a ton of mods on and now they think the bike is worth $20,000 when it ain't
"No accidents, i crashed it on purpouse. No low ballers plz"
love your vids homie, keep it up! kinda wish your other vids got as many views as the list videos tho *shitty youtube algorithm moment*
That profile picture is so gay lmao 🤣
@@shlimey04 The irony lmao
Hey bladed you should give us some raw footage of you driving your corvette at the track.
Great idea!
@@whydidmycommentgetdeleted5199 Why your comment isn't deleted?
I did the full umi suspension on a 56k 83 firebird.
Still the lg4. But headers exhaust, 1.6 rockers & weight reductions.
5 speed too!
Same thing applies to trying to find an antique or vintage fan. I swear there’s people who put a REALLY nice listing of some vintage General Electric fan for a great price. And they put their location as “Boston”. But then you look on the map. And the dude lives in the most rural middle of nowhere town you’ve never heard of.
One thing that I really like about some of the straight shooters out there keeping a bottle from their last oil change. Yeah they could fake it but I don't think anybody would take the time to
f for the guy who broke down on the track
F to pay respects for the car that broke down mid track
Ah yes. My man Bladed uploaded! Guess I'll be late to my family reunion:P
one thing that is annoying is when you're looking for a car and you see a bunch of post not actually selling anything they are just asking that if you find some particular car you tell them
You know what pisses me off as a seller? Everyone's first question is just "Whats your lowest" when its said price is firm. Then they get mad when i tell them it is the sticker price, or they waste my time.
You can negotiate when you have seen the car in person and are prepared to buy it from me, not as your first question.
"what's your lowest" it's such a bad question anyway; if I valued something at 50 I've valued it at 50. Plus with such question, the seller is likely to just reduced the price a little bit, but is willing to reduce it more if you're actually trying to negotiate. At least that's my experience reading posts of people trying to negotiate.
My 1982 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade is NEVER for sale!
My mom basically makes up lies and whole stories to sell our car because the truth would “look bad” and lose potential buyers.
The truth: she bought a smart, its too small, makes her feel unsafe, and she doesnt like the experience anymore.
I notice another one when looking for a car to buy. It's the one where they have a car up for sell and then in the description it says they looking for parts to buy for said vehicle
Had someone say they had a "perfect paint" 250,000 mile Celica. Got there and the cars door wasnt even the same color as the rest of the car and the fender had obviously been badly mended. same dude on his gfs tried selling a dodge csx-t that they forgot to mention had been modified and missing the radio and ac. Leaked oil like crazy too. Can't trust anyone with cars now
I once found a 53 Packard clipper for super cheap on cargurus, looked junky as hell but was still super cool. So I checked the website they said to go to for information and according to their website the car doesn't exist. In fact they didn't have anything older than 2012 on the entire lot.
TL:DR
1. When people use Google images or an older photo for a thumbnail
2. Setting location to Closest Big City
3. Adding mod value spent on top of the car value
4. Setting car mileage to 1 so it appears first when sorting by mileage
5. Wasting everyone's time on ego
For more details, please watch video, it's worth it.
i hate when dealers list their cars under the private section of some sites but yet you can still tell from the first picture that a dealer owns the car
LETS GOOO ANOTHER LIST VIDEO
Makes me think of the second hand market for computer parts and the like, such as an emptied chassis for a stationary apple workstation computer with 1kr as the price tag which looked appealing for a replacement chassis but as you said the 1 **insert currency name** is just there to get buyers on the hook.
