"Camero" Also got a real example in coutryside France, where english is often an obscure and exotic language, to the point that people don't even understand words that are almost identical to French words, someone was selling a Toyota Corolla GTI and advertised it as a "Touine Camme" wich is how a french would write the prononciation of "Twin Cams" in french... the sadest part was that you could clearly see the "Twin Cams" graphic on the car's sides.
Some sides allow you to put in the prefered mileage of the car and there are these demons that set the mileage to 300 when their car has 300.000 miles on it.
Not that long ago there was a practice among importers in my country to mess with odometers and set milage for around 160k km (approx. 100k miles) because it was a "sweetspot" for buyers (right after timing belt should be replaced). People didn't trust sellers that had cars with genuinely low milage and weren't intrested in anything with milage above 200k km on it, so basicly they fuled this fraud
@@radosawbusiak2002 Inmy country too mate. I would see people bring in beat to shit Audis and BMWs from Germany with missing hubcaps and 320000 km and then roll back the odometer to about 110000 to 160000. Really common practice. Or they would get the same cars with 320000 km but totaled (I'm talking smashed into a poll at 30-40 km or even worse kinda level) and patched them 'Billy Bob's car shop' for cheap. Then they would sell them as 'nO AcCIdEnTs'. Some of the cars repaird by 'Billy Bob's car shop' had fake airbags, shtty structural condition, mechanical issues and the interior looked like it was assembeled by a toddler.

“If the Ad is still up it’s available, won’t respond to Is It Available messages don’t waste yours or my time.” Love seeing these descriptions on car listings
I know. Recently my uncle was looking for a compact car, his local Ford/Mazda dealership, that had a used Mazda Protege, with a "see dealer for price" ad. When he got there the car was priced at $5500, WAY over the car's NADA value.
One of the things that annoys me is when people take pictures immediately after washing it so that all of the scratches and dents are less visible. Then when you get there to look at it it looks like a 30 year old golf ball.
BRO! You hit the HES Don the nail with number 2! Not only do they take 1-2, blurry crappy photos, but their description has terrible grammar! I know it’s Facebook and not English class, however some of them are barely English.
Nothing more annoying than klicking at desired car at desired price range just to find out that listed car is damaged or crashed and the miniature foto next to the listing was from the best looking angle so you woulnd't notice it right away.
A trend that's really popular in my country and not just for cars is that you have to message the seller for price, even on something cheap like a trash phone.
the listed price is their phone number and the description of the listing "i will take calls between 1 and 6 on weekdays" and offer next to nothing info in the title. ive seen shit like FORNT 96533258487 1.6 2012 with 1picture taken with cataracts on the camera
Having too few pictures is the worst. I haven't had that issue with car buying lately, but on Turo it happens a lot. "Here, please rent my really really nice BMW X6 for $299 per day. Here's a couple of overly-zoomed in, grainy shots of the front bumper, so you know I am legit."

I went to look at cars on the weekend and this used car dealership was in crack. They tried to sell me a up bagged 328i with a m3 body kit that didn’t fit and it had no tune or anything just the body kit. What’s sad is that it’s from 2011 and they were selling it for $29,000. And they had a 2018 s5 for like 60k and their defense was “ but it has low miles” there’s more to making car prices than just miles.
Here's an annoying scenario from FB Marketplace in European countries which are yet to adopt the euro currency: In Croatia, we still use the Croatian kuna (kn for short), but people like listing their vehicles and real estate with an euro price tag, which is fine with me so as long as the price actually has the euro symbol next to the number. People prefer to use the euro because 1 euro is 7.4 kuna. The annoying thing on marketplace is someone lists a beaten up 90's BMW or Mercedes for some 3000 kn, which I've seen people sell those same cars for on other sites similar to Ebay, just more local to Croatia, so the Marketplace ad looks legit at first. That's where they get you. Similar to the down-payment incident, down in the description of the ad after saying all sorts of stuff. Some type more, some less and some just say the following words: "The price is in euros.", or "The price is in €" because they can't be bothered to type the rest. That means this fool is trying to sell me his shitbox for over 22000 kn, 18000 more than you were first ready to pay for before checking out the ad. It's ridiculous!
With all due respect the term "Low ballers" Has existed for decades. You just happened to hear it from RCR first. Car throttle also used that phrase way back in the day and even 90s Top Gear. RCR you have to remember is also a man of Parody. So he was satirically mimicking the age old phrase of "no low ballers i know what i have" as a reference to the meme. Aka I referenced a man who also makes references to references from other references.
i love the Indicators on your Corvette, the look really cool and i really like the sequential blinkers in general since they have really good visibillity
i always see ads on facebook marketplace being listed for $2000, but when clicking on the ad, *part out* or *willing to trade for harley davidson*. or the vehicle needs a whole new engine and transmission.
1991 Chevrolet C1500 W/T V6. Rust is minimal if you don't look under the doors. Frame is in Texas. Only running on all 6 cylinders, good interior. No lowballing. Not taking offers. its 12k and it's a classic. I hate when Chevrolet truck owners say that or sell base model W/T's that are rusted into oblivion for 12k when its worth like $800 or less with a rusted frame and like 3k for one in mint condition.
3:12, this brings me back, as a kid I always used to take my dads newspaper and just look through the catalogues. Actually true story, I suggested a nice cheap car to my dad as a 4 year old, and he researched it and it became our first car here in the states. A 1997 red Ford Taurus.
When u buy tractors in Baltic countries they just put fresh paint over the old rust. They always paint the engine and then say it's in perfect condition
Storytime, my idiot brother buys a 2001 Honda Accord, it's the one with the V6 so it is valuable but it had 150,000 miles on it and was not in great shape, he tells me he bought it for $1400, I remember him telling me he bought it for $400 but I am not going to argue with him, I post it on Facebook Market place and am only able to post pictures of the outside because I didn't have the key to open it up, also my brother doesn't answer his phone for unknown numbers so customers have to text first. In the description, it said it needed a battery and water pump because that's what he said it needed, but when people call him he tells them he's not sure whats wrong with it. After a month of trying to sell it for $2,000 I went down to $1,400 because he says he can take the engine out and sell the car for parts to make money, I know he's not going to do that because he has zero motivation that's why he had me post the ad. Finally, I get frustrated and ask him for the keys to the car I tell him I will get a battery and wash the car to get it sold, he tells me no, not sure why he didn't want me to work on the car but after that, he gets a sellar for $1000 cash, this goes back to me remembering him telling me he only bought it for $400, the point is if he had just put a few bucks into the car he could have made much more money, instead of doing the "I know what I got" thing and then giving the car away.
A classmate of mine found a 3rd gen 4Runner with almost 200,000 that was listed around $1,200 but the guy said in the description that he wanted $14,000 and the thing that infuriates me the most about that is I got a 4th gen 4Runner with all of the options except for the V8 and about 126,000 miles for $8,500
people here will post a dirty 1990 automatic v6 camaro for $12k and say "rArE gEm" yeah old american cars are rare here but a rusty and dirty v6 camaro aren't worth of 12k
I have personally gotten so used to this I can see it a mile away. The “I know what I have” is the worst. I can see it with a rare limited make like the 64-1/2 mustang, but not a common civic with “mass mods bro”.
Being someone looking for their first car, I couldn't agree more. You could have added another: "I DoN't hAVe tHe cAR At THe mOMeNt." If you don't have the car in your possession, don't post the ad now!
Talking about Facebook Marketplace, I also don't like it when the exact specifications (or in some cases, trim levels) are not given and therefore you have to manually make sure whether or not it has certain features by looking at the (often crappy or non-existent) photos or ask the owner, causing further complications and inconvenience for the potential buyers and what's funny, to the sellers themselves.
My least favorite thing when hunting for a car is when the dealer refuses to lower the price and the price is shit. A dealer was charging around $17K for a BRZ with 100K miles when I saw listings at a similar price (around $18K) going for 60-80K miles. I asked them if they could lower it but they would only do it by $200. They also didn't make the buying process smooth at all, especially for a first timer like me. Eventually I found a Mazda3 that was in really good condition mechacnically for a decent price and the dealer made the buying process way smoother. There are some things I have to fix with the car but it's all cosmetic, as long as I maintain the car I'm good. Only thing I regret is not waiting for an RSX listing, which should tell you how much I enjoy owning my Mazda3.
"It's perfect except for this part which is somehow $10, somehow at every walmart, and somehow takes 5 minutes to swap out, but I haven't done it yet, until then the car runs like garbage. My loss, your gain." Other worst is when they "admit" it has a check engine light on, but claim to "know" the reason. For example, claiming it's a sensor or some cheap thing. Then they use this as an excuse to not let you bring your own code tester. That's because the light is for something serious. I've heard of used car dealerships specifically choosing their entire location somewhere, where there is no good straight roads, or they "tell" you which way to go when you are doing the test drive. This is because before you showed up, they just cleared all the codes, and want you to drive this way so that you don't push the car too hard to cause the code to come back, so your test drive is not a real enough test drive.
I remember I found a nice looking 350z on market place and in the description they said "no problems, just slight knocking noise from the engine, I'm not sure but I think it should be fine."
I think you can make a 2nd one with little effort :D My most hated stuff is that you can't use the filters effectively on car selling sites (not talking about fb marketplace where they are nonexistent) because the sellers just can't sit down for 10 min and check in all the right checkmarks and no bad ones. The transmission (M or A) seems like a common problem and some people don't know they have a coupe even if the actual name of the car says it. I mostly check older cars like 10-20 year old ones, but just for fun checked a few new ones and holy... With all the engine variants, facelifts, trim levels, options, and dumb car names... Good luck finding the ones you are looking for! Another one I hate is "full service history" but doesn't have 10 sec to shoot 2 quick pics about the filled service book and the pile of bills. Noone will check every word from the pics but it sucks to drive half a day to find out what he means actually is one receit from his friend Joe about an oil change in the last 10 years.
About the limited edition thing, I've been looking at MK3 VW Golf GTI's recently, and people are asking way too much for their Colour Concepts and Anniversary Editions. People are trying to flog their Anniversaries for like 5k with over 150k miles, like yes, the wheels are nice and its got a cool checkered interior, but those things do NOT add upto 3500 quid. A standard 8v GTI goes for about 1500 pounds on average.
The "We approve with bad credit" stands so true man 😂😂😂 It'd be a $16k car and they want like 5k down with monthly payments of $750. Like bruh, cmon dawg 🤦🏾♂️
I buy old used cars, and 2 things I HATE is when they steam clean the engine bay and change the oil before putting it for sale on the lot(could apply to personal sellers too). This means I have no idea on the condition of a lot of different things that I looks at these things to diagnose, and when they do this I can't tell jack about those things. Does the oil smell like gas or is it milky/have coolant in it? Well wouldn't know if it did, they just put the oil in and the thing has only moved the 20 feet from where they changed the oil to the spot on the lot. Is it leaking any fluids? Any holes or cracks in hoses? Well hard to tell, at least if there's any slow leaks, because the engine bay on this 2003 Chevy Malibu is all shiny and shit even though it has 187,000 miles on it. Side note also dude if it's a GM that I KNOW takes Dex-Cool and it says it right on the radiator cap/overflow tank cap, but it has the green stuff in there...yeah dude I'm not buying a car from someone that can't even read. A lot of people say that's not a big deal but it's more the principal of it, the manufacturer built it to take certain kinds of fluids, and made it VERY OBVIOUS which kinds to use(same with engine oil and brake fluid, right there on the cap, although these are hard to tell just by looking), but yet you/the last owner just dumps the first jug they see at the parts store that says "coolant" on it in there? Makes me have little faith on everything else and how/when/if those items were maintained for the last 187,000 miles. And shops, SHOPS, do that too, I had my thermostat freeze open/get blocked when we had a day that got to minus 28(F not C) and since I have no garage and nobody I know has one, and I didn't feel like finding a decent way to that the thing out myself since it was negative 15 or below for the next week, I took it to a shop to just thaw it, throw a new thermostat in, and put fresh coolant in. Got it back and it's full of green shit...like dude you literally saw the orange Dex-Cool that I had in it, drained that out, took off the cap that says "use Dex-Cool only", and proceeded to pour the green crap in there. I hate shops, had to flush my coolant again and I had just flushed it like 6 months prior in the summer lol. Don't always trust shops or dealerships to be competent or know what they're doing just because they're supposed to be "the experts". Also the did an oil change for my brother and, don't tell me why, but they forgot to put oil cap back on after filling it, and it was in his glove box? Why would you put it there ever for any length of time when changing oil anyways?
When they make the listing seem super legit and the car is a few grand cheaper than usual, and then you see it. Hidden at the bottom of the listing they say “Salvage Title because of minor fender bender, professionally repaired”.
This was literally what I had to go through when I was tryna find a Fox body mustang 😂, I finally got one, but it was hell tryna find one , 86 Fox body mustang witha swapped in 351w built now🔥
the worst is when there's no price and they say "send me an offer" like, no i'm not sending you an offer and if i do it'll be probably about 1/4 what it's actually worth
I hate when the title or description says "it's not a Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, Silvia, Skyline, Supra etc" they do this so when you search one of those cars, this piece of shit will appear. Not only that, but it's also stupid, if i'm looking at Camaros i won't click on your vw Golf or anything besides Camaros.
When I bought my e36 it was bone stock 159K miles for $4K it was an old dudes son that I was talking to and they were super genuine they told me everything the cars been through where it came from and all that good stuff. On my way to San Francisco coming from Morgan Hill, CA they said they started it up and the check engine light came on(typical bmw I know) and I told them idk you have to see what the engine code is and it was quite literally just a single spark plug making it misfire and they offered the car for $2.5K instead of $4K and it’s by far been a steal of deal. Bone stock reupholstered interior only thing I’ve done was lowered it and threw a nice sounding exhaust system on it. So I never experienced any of these 😭
"No lowballs" My favorite time I've ever seen that one was a guy who had a 67 Pontiac GTO. It had no glass, no front end and VIN number. He wouldn't say or not if he had a title or bill of sale. $5000 and "don't lowball me."

No Kyle your 06 ss cobalt isn’t worth 9k because you put discount tire wheels and a lip on it
@@wesleygriffin7857 It's honestly surprising how many piece of shit 350,000 mile silverados for 8k Facebook has,
Some sides allow you to put in the prefered mileage of the car and there are these demons that set the mileage to 300 when their car has 300.000 miles on it.
Yoink. This is going in part 2 for sure.
Not that long ago there was a practice among importers in my country to mess with odometers and set milage for around 160k km (approx. 100k miles) because it was a "sweetspot" for buyers (right after timing belt should be replaced). People didn't trust sellers that had cars with genuinely low milage and weren't intrested in anything with milage above 200k km on it, so basicly they fuled this fraud
@@radosawbusiak2002 Inmy country too mate. I would see people bring in beat to shit Audis and BMWs from Germany with missing hubcaps and 320000 km and then roll back the odometer to about 110000 to 160000. Really common practice. Or they would get the same cars with 320000 km but totaled (I'm talking smashed into a poll at 30-40 km or even worse kinda level) and patched them 'Billy Bob's car shop' for cheap. Then they would sell them as 'nO AcCIdEnTs'. Some of the cars repaird by 'Billy Bob's car shop' had fake airbags, shtty structural condition, mechanical issues and the interior looked like it was assembeled by a toddler. The exterior pannels had like 1 and a half centimers wide gaps.

Genius idea. Also, I'd say that's false advertising.

You may go down in history as a legend. I appreciate your efforts.
“If the Ad is still up it’s available, won’t respond to Is It Available messages don’t waste yours or my time.” Love seeing these descriptions on car listings
you write to them and, actually, it was sold weeks ago
“Selling my grandmas car, been in family for years” yet they’re obviously flipping cars because they have 7 other cars for sale
What about the “call for price” listings?
I hate that shit. Sometimes I don’t wanna inquire about stuff but see how much they cost. Why hide it?
I know. Recently my uncle was looking for a compact car, his local Ford/Mazda dealership, that had a used Mazda Protege, with a "see dealer for price" ad. When he got there the car was priced at $5500, WAY over the car's NADA value.
the people that put the price/ mileage “123456”
"My loss is your gain" those are the words on a car listing you may never want to hear if you want something that actually runs XD
When they post 1 picture of the rear quarter panel and write "small dent on the front bumper" or when they leave out interior pictures
The front end is destroyed and the interior is deteriorated
One of the things that annoys me is when people take pictures immediately after washing it so that all of the scratches and dents are less visible. Then when you get there to look at it it looks like a 30 year old golf ball.
BRO! You hit the HES Don the nail with number 2! Not only do they take 1-2, blurry crappy photos, but their description has terrible grammar! I know it’s Facebook and not English class, however some of them are barely English.
Nothing more annoying than klicking at desired car at desired price range just to find out that listed car is damaged or crashed and the miniature foto next to the listing was from the best looking angle so you woulnd't notice it right away.
When they post 20 pictures but not one of the left rear fender and when you then meet them it is all busted up
1:38 That's why I usually put minimal price somewhere around 2-10 bucks, when searching for anything, not only car-related stuff...
A trend that's really popular in my country and not just for cars is that you have to message the seller for price, even on something cheap like a trash phone.
the listed price is their phone number and the description of the listing "i will take calls between 1 and 6 on weekdays" and offer next to nothing info in the title. ive seen shit like FORNT 96533258487 1.6 2012 with 1picture taken with cataracts on the camera
Having too few pictures is the worst. I haven't had that issue with car buying lately, but on Turo it happens a lot. "Here, please rent my really really nice BMW X6 for $299 per day. Here's a couple of overly-zoomed in, grainy shots of the front bumper, so you know I am legit."
I almost got a S14 240SX for 3000 but it ended up having a ton of problems when we went and looked at it. I still regret not buying it though after how much the prices have shot up
Don't feel too bad...i remember a guy who used to see a AE86 driven by a granny everyday and then one day he didnt see it and asked the person who used to drive it ( a granny as well! ) where it was. Turns out they sold it for $600 bucks lol

I went to look at cars on the weekend and this used car dealership was in crack. They tried to sell me a up bagged 328i with a m3 body kit that didn’t fit and it had no tune or anything just the body kit. What’s sad is that it’s from 2011 and they were selling it for $29,000. And they had a 2018 s5 for like 60k and their defense was “ but it has low miles” there’s more to making car prices than just miles.
Here's an annoying scenario from FB Marketplace in European countries which are yet to adopt the euro currency:
In Croatia, we still use the Croatian kuna (kn for short), but people like listing their vehicles and real estate with an euro price tag, which is fine with me so as long as the price actually has the euro symbol next to the number. People prefer to use the euro because 1 euro is 7.4 kuna.
The annoying thing on marketplace is someone lists a beaten up 90's BMW or Mercedes for some 3000 kn, which I've seen people sell those same cars for on other sites similar to Ebay, just more local to Croatia, so the Marketplace ad looks legit at first. That's where they get you. Similar to the down-payment incident, down in the description of the ad after saying all sorts of stuff. Some type more, some less and some just say the following words: "The price is in euros.", or "The price is in €" because they can't be bothered to type the rest.
That means this fool is trying to sell me his shitbox for over 22000 kn, 18000 more than you were first ready to pay for before checking out the ad. It's ridiculous!
You should make one for the gripes you have from a seller's perspective

With all due respect the term "Low ballers" Has existed for decades. You just happened to hear it from RCR first. Car throttle also used that phrase way back in the day and even 90s Top Gear.

Storytime, my idiot brother buys a 2001 Honda Accord, it's the one with the V6 so it is valuable but it had 150,000 miles on it and was not in great shape, he tells me he bought it for $1400, I remember him telling me he bought it for $400 but I am not going to argue with him, I post it on Facebook Market place and am only able to post pictures of the outside because I didn't have the key to open it up, also my brother doesn't answer his phone for unknown numbers so customers have to text first. In the description, it said it needed a battery and water pump because that's what he said it needed, but when people call him he tells them he's not sure whats wrong with it. After a month of trying to sell it for $2,000 I went down to $1,400 because he says he can take the engine out and sell the car for parts to make money, I know he's not going to do that because he has zero motivation that's why he had me post the ad. Finally, I get frustrated and ask him for the keys to the car I tell him I will get a battery and wash the car to get it sold, he tells me no, not sure why he didn't want me to work on the car but after that, he gets a sellar for $1000 cash, this goes back to me remembering him telling me he only bought it for $400, the point is if he had just put a few bucks into the car he could have made much more money, instead of doing the "I know what I got" thing and then giving the car away.

I have personally gotten so used to this I can see it a mile away. The “I know what I have” is the worst. I can see it with a rare limited make like the 64-1/2 mustang, but not a common civic with “mass mods bro”.
Being someone looking for their first car, I couldn't agree more. You could have added another: "I DoN't hAVe tHe cAR At THe mOMeNt." If you don't have the car in your possession, don't post the ad now!
bro the oldsmobile comment hurt, but well i know my tin crash can wont raise in value, buy thanks to you i love my oldsmobile, you great bro
Talking about Facebook Marketplace, I also don't like it when the exact specifications (or in some cases, trim levels) are not given and therefore you have to manually make sure whether or not it has certain features by looking at the (often crappy or non-existent) photos or ask the owner, causing further complications and inconvenience for the potential buyers and what's funny, to the sellers themselves.
My least favorite thing when hunting for a car is when the dealer refuses to lower the price and the price is shit. A dealer was charging around $17K for a BRZ with 100K miles when I saw listings at a similar price (around $18K) going for 60-80K miles. I asked them if they could lower it but they would only do it by $200. They also didn't make the buying process smooth at all, especially for a first timer like me. Eventually I found a Mazda3 that was in really good condition mechacnically for a decent price and the dealer made the buying process way smoother. There are some things I have to fix with the car but it's all cosmetic, as long as I maintain the car I'm good. Only thing I regret is not waiting for an RSX listing, which should tell you how much I enjoy owning my Mazda3.
"It's perfect except for this part which is somehow $10, somehow at every walmart, and somehow takes 5 minutes to swap out, but I haven't done it yet, until then the car runs like garbage. My loss, your gain."
Other worst is when they "admit" it has a check engine light on, but claim to "know" the reason. For example, claiming it's a sensor or some cheap thing. Then they use this as an excuse to not let you bring your own code tester. That's because the light is for something serious.
I've heard of used car dealerships specifically choosing their entire location somewhere, where there is no good straight roads, or they "tell" you which way to go when you are doing the test drive. This is because before you showed up, they just cleared all the codes, and want you to drive this way so that you don't push the car too hard to cause the code to come back, so your test drive is not a real enough test drive.
What i hate sometimes is that people list super low mileage like for example 90 miles and it turns out to be 90,000 miles.
i like the footage at the end when we can see ur car on the road from the miatas perspective !!
The phrase- "A picture speaks a thousand words" really relates to the second point.
I remember I found a nice looking 350z on market place and in the description they said "no problems, just slight knocking noise from the engine, I'm not sure but I think it should be fine."
I think you can make a 2nd one with little effort :D
My most hated stuff is that you can't use the filters effectively on car selling sites (not talking about fb marketplace where they are nonexistent) because the sellers just can't sit down for 10 min and check in all the right checkmarks and no bad ones. The transmission (M or A) seems like a common problem and some people don't know they have a coupe even if the actual name of the car says it.
I mostly check older cars like 10-20 year old ones, but just for fun checked a few new ones and holy... With all the engine variants, facelifts, trim levels, options, and dumb car names... Good luck finding the ones you are looking for!
Another one I hate is "full service history" but doesn't have 10 sec to shoot 2 quick pics about the filled service book and the pile of bills. Noone will check every word from the pics but it sucks to drive half a day to find out what he means actually is one receit from his friend Joe about an oil change in the last 10 years.
About the limited edition thing, I've been looking at MK3 VW Golf GTI's recently, and people are asking way too much for their Colour Concepts and Anniversary Editions. People are trying to flog their Anniversaries for like 5k with over 150k miles, like yes, the wheels are nice and its got a cool checkered interior, but those things do NOT add upto 3500 quid. A standard 8v GTI goes for about 1500 pounds on average.
0:27 is that... blinkers?
The "We approve with bad credit" stands so true man 😂😂😂 It'd be a $16k car and they want like 5k down with monthly payments of $750. Like bruh, cmon dawg 🤦🏾♂️
Hey bladed i love the videos where you talk over clips of you driving keep it up man
THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO SPREAD THROUGH THE INTERNET
I buy old used cars, and 2 things I HATE is when they steam clean the engine bay and change the oil before putting it for sale on the lot(could apply to personal sellers too). This means I have no idea on the condition of a lot of different things that I looks at these things to diagnose, and when they do this I can't tell jack about those things. Does the oil smell like gas or is it milky/have coolant in it? Well wouldn't know if it did, they just put the oil in and the thing has only moved the 20 feet from where they changed the oil to the spot on the lot. Is it leaking any fluids? Any holes or cracks in hoses? Well hard to tell, at least if there's any slow leaks, because the engine bay on this 2003 Chevy Malibu is all shiny and shit even though it has 187,000 miles on it. Side note also dude if it's a GM that I KNOW takes Dex-Cool and it says it right on the radiator cap/overflow tank cap, but it has the green stuff in there...yeah dude I'm not buying a car from someone that can't even read. A lot of people say that's not a big deal but it's more the principal of it, the manufacturer built it to take certain kinds of fluids, and made it VERY OBVIOUS which kinds to use(same with engine oil and brake fluid, right there on the cap, although these are hard to tell just by looking), but yet you/the last owner just dumps the first jug they see at the parts store that says "coolant" on it in there? Makes me have little faith on everything else and how/when/if those items were maintained for the last 187,000 miles. And shops, SHOPS, do that too, I had my thermostat freeze open/get blocked when we had a day that got to minus 28(F not C) and since I have no garage and nobody I know has one, and I didn't feel like finding a decent way to that the thing out myself since it was negative 15 or below for the next week, I took it to a shop to just thaw it, throw a new thermostat in, and put fresh coolant in. Got it back and it's full of green shit...like dude you literally saw the orange Dex-Cool that I had in it, drained that out, took off the cap that says "use Dex-Cool only", and proceeded to pour the green crap in there. I hate shops, had to flush my coolant again and I had just flushed it like 6 months prior in the summer lol. Don't always trust shops or dealerships to be competent or know what they're doing just because they're supposed to be "the experts". Also the did an oil change for my brother and, don't tell me why, but they forgot to put oil cap back on after filling it, and it was in his glove box? Why would you put it there ever for any length of time when changing oil anyways?
Most common by far is no price just $1234 😂🤦♂️
The worst are people that be like, 'Oh it's just some minor undercarriage damage.' When their car's floor has giant rust holes.
When they make the listing seem super legit and the car is a few grand cheaper than usual, and then you see it. Hidden at the bottom of the listing they say “Salvage Title because of minor fender bender, professionally repaired”.
You know it’s a good day when Bladed uploads
This was literally what I had to go through when I was tryna find a Fox body mustang 😂, I finally got one, but it was hell tryna find one , 86 Fox body mustang witha swapped in 351w built now🔥
the worst is when there's no price and they say "send me an offer" like, no i'm not sending you an offer and if i do it'll be probably about 1/4 what it's actually worth
"runs great is missing the engine" or "runs great needs a new engine" or "ran great 2 years ago when I parked it."
I hate when the title or description says "it's not a Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, Silvia, Skyline, Supra etc" they do this so when you search one of those cars, this piece of shit will appear. Not only that, but it's also stupid, if i'm looking at Camaros i won't click on your vw Golf or anything besides Camaros.
What I hate is when they list price you click on it and price changes and they say fb wouldn't let em put actual price

On my way to San Francisco coming from Morgan Hill, CA they said they started it up and the check engine light came on(typical bmw I know) and I told them idk you have to see what the engine code is and it was quite literally just a single spark plug making it misfire and they offered the car for $2.5K instead of $4K and it’s by far been a steal of deal. Bone stock reupholstered interior only thing I’ve done was lowered it and threw a nice sounding exhaust system on it. So I never experienced any of these 😭
"No lowballs"
