Buying Cars on FaceBook MarketPlace. You won't believe this! 

Buyers show sellers no respect on Facebook Marketplace. You have to give it to the first person who shows up with the cash. A lot of people make promises and then never show, w/o even the courtesy of letting you know.

People on Facebook Marketplace be like: "Selling my car for $1,234.56"

I'm on the seller's side on this one to be quite honest. Can't trust anyone that says they are on the way with cash. I'm sure as a salesman, it has happened to you. They promise they are on the way but end up never showing. My rule is, first person with cash takes it. It sucks, but it's just the way it is these days.

Facebook marketplace buying anything is sketchy. Some folks are just crooks.

Ahhh, FB Marketplace...You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

We tell people who ask right up front, we DO NOT HOLD CARS. It’s insane that anyone would think anyone would turn down money in front of them in hopes that they may sell it later that day, week, month...whatever.

Great Content! Keep it up. Mostly I am here because I believe you tell the truth and show your loses as well as your wins. Real Dude!

Great content as always. I sincerely wish you and mrs. Chevy the best in your business endeavor. I know with your hard work and determination you will highly succeed. Keep up the good work.

I have flipped cars for several years and I advertised Craigslist. I show my cars in the order of receiving the calls. I have had people getting upset when I tell them I have someone on the way but if they don't take it I will call you back. I haven been able to get a car in over a year due to the demand. Dealers have an advantage of just handing over the cash and driving away whereas individuals have all the title transfer BS to deal with. I really appreciate all the information that you share.

I love your videos. You have enough energy for the both of us!

Last item I sold on marketplace I had 7 people on a Saturday morning tell me they are on their way. One person showed up on Sunday. First cash takes it home.

Any property around and/or near an Amazon facility become prime and the value increases. The building looks like a modular built in a factory, shipped and put together on site. My Uncle really want you to have your own Chevy dealership.

I love how your dog looks at the camera like “Who you talking to?” And then your dog realizes your just doing a your vlog 😂 which they are great btw 👍🏻

That definitely looks like a modular double wide..the vents at the foundation were where they put the steel beams to slide the 2 halves together over the foundation.

I worked at a dealer next to a rail road track and it's horrible. The rail dust gets stuck on every car.

Im really surprised that someone with your experience doesn’t know you always have to have the cash on hand when buying a car

I just went through the same bullshit on craigslist. When I sell a car privately, I always tell people who want to come and see it if someone else is already on their way. But you know what happens... then the first person in a no show. So it's kind of a no win situation. Then you get the a-holes who want a perfect car for 1/2 of it's value. Cute dog BTW and so well behaved too.

Wait until you buy a car with a good original title and you buy it, retail it and find out when your customer goes to the bmv to title the car you sold them has a duplicate title that voids the title you have. And you are on the hook and since you bought it from a private owner you will be screwed. Has happened to me 2 times.

Wow Mike thanks 👍 for the video.I never laughed so hard as the Van conversion to a truck 🚛.

Why not just show up with cash?? That eliminates all the Hassel for you to get cash and the seller to wait on you. I never go to look at a car without cash in hand.

I wonder if that location was ever a modular home sales site and that was the long-term sales building that they left. It would’ve had a little blacktop in front of it and all they had to do is make some more paved lot.

You have to be careful showing up with cash the first time you meet. Could be a setup for them to rob you.

The flag pole, anything above 200 ft requires FAA approval, less near an airport. I can't imagine how someone got approved for 400 ft.

We watched em drag that building in, modular. Use to drive down from south of FtW to Louisville on SR3 and 62.

First come, first served is absolutely correct. I picked up a Pontiac Vibe in December for $1,400. Couldn't be happier but I was definitely the first person that morning to look at it. He had 5 other people lined up. For a TWENTY YEAR OLD CAR

What’s up Mike & Mrs. Chevy Dude!! Buying a car doesn’t have to suck!!!

That is a relatively new modular home. Surprised that type of structure is being used as a business

I drove an hour to buy a car and when i got there i literally say the car driving away and the seller wouldn’t answer his phone. Im sure he sold it to someone 30seconds before i got there 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Pretty common with Facebook marketplace. No honor among buyers or sellers on there. I’ve arrived to a location, waited on a seller, only for them to tell me it sold.

I don't know if you'll read this, but I used to live in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, home of the Acuity flag. If you get the time, research the history of it. The current one is actually the 2nd one because the 1st one fell over. But if you get the chance, go see it in person. It's incredible! Just breathtaking! 🇺🇲

You have to keep cash on hand, that’s how you succeed on Marketplace!

I have a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country white 86,000 miles. One owner base model all maintenance and major repairs done including brakes. Needs shocks and air conditioning recharge. No accidents or dents. Just minor dings. All interior upholstery intact. Just needs cleaning. The car starts and runs good. What would you pay for this?

PpI are definitely needed when going buy on their. Pre purchase inspection. To see if their is anything wrong with it. Also go see the vehicle in person to see that’s it’s real and not fake a scam. And don’t forget to negotiate.

Chevy Dude that back window in that Chrysler Town & Country minivan slash pickup truck looks like a driver side rear window out of a conversion van.

That acuity flag is around where I live and it's so cool. The flag itself is also insane

I’ve bought a couple of things on Facebook Market, but never a car yet. Most of the time it works out because I choose to buy things not too far from my city.

As a buyer on Facebook mp or craigslist if I am going to look at a car that will draw interest I always put it into the mind of the seller that if the car is in great shape I will pay over their asking price just this simple thought has helped me buy cars. Even if I show up and others are buying I make it known that I will pay over ... these days have to do just about anything to find a good used car.

Can you provide me with the app that you use to scan a vin number with if your please. Thanks

Very nice video dude!

That back glass is the side glass from a customized full size van.

I work for a dealership. I post 30-50 vehicles every single day on Facebook marketplace. Is it a overuse of fbmp feature? is this a reason they banned me on marketplace sometimes. if yes, is there a limit on posting ads.

If you sold a chair on fb you have no problem but if slightly high ticket items especially cars or electronics it brings out all the vultures

700k for other shop ..ur location u can add to building if need be over time ND asphalt lot get estimates..not sure what they want for the lot ur at now or do u own it already ?

:-) I put down a car dealership chain for not selling car for me after driving 100 miles for it. Dealer sold it to his friend who came 100 miles four hours after I came (I waited whole time).

Hey what app were you referring to that you were scanning the VIN number with

Hey Mike - bide your time. I am sure with your determination and entrepreneurial moxie you will get that dealership expansion. However, I have to say you are a bit of land locked with the train tracks behind you. Good content as always. p.s. Yeah lose the wrap on that vette. it is kind of fugly.. my opinion only of course :)

Building looks like an off frame modular office to me. I sell quite a few things on FB. After people started no showing me, I am hold only with a non refundable Cash App or Pay Pal payment. Outside of that I am "first in wins."

A lesson to learn is have some cash somewhere (alternative thinking)

It’s good to know that you’re also an expert in real estate. Lol.

I spent $600 on a cab to go to Houston to buy a car deal fell through and looked at 6 other car they all had problems so I might just finance a car at this point

Pick up van is great! Around I have seen older Civics turned into pick up trucks as well.

Wow, your boxer dog looks almost like my boxer dog I used to have.

I hate where you have to be the very first text or call on Craigslist and if not the person won’t even give you a chance to come look at the car. There was good cars on face book that I seen 5 mins after they were posted and someone texted them before I did and I lost the car

What app does mike use to search the vin number of the car, to find out it’s back story about the car

that minivan omfg i love that idea 😂😂

You had question why road side sellers do not like to sell to dealers. I was selling my '97 Camaro several years ago, and someone came up and offered less than half my asking. I had already done research to find the price point for the car, so I was confident I was going to sell it for a few hundred of my asking price. After some back and forth, he told me that he could not even sell my car for a $1000 less than my asking price on his lot. (He did not tell me the lot name) I sold to someone else for about $100 less than I was hoping for, but well above this guys highest offer. So I kind of have a distrust of dealers that come to the house, but if you try to buy the car somewhere near my expectation for the car, than I don't care. Spend time telling my that the car is only worth much much less, but you have cash, we are not going to have a long conversation.

I already loved your channel but your goal of having the worlds tallest flag pole made me love and respect you even more!

Up until 4 years ago used drivable cars that were over 10 years were worth $200-$500. Minor work usually but was still turn key and drive cars for reasonable price. Not $5000 for a cavalier.. used cavalier were always a $300 car

What's the app for vin number to check and value of the car

if it's a foreign person selling it for a cheap price and won't give you the vin, it's salvage title!

Dog looks so entertained in the back 🤣😂😅

I came for the information, but subscribed because of the cute little doggie.

Aww man that wrap is awesome I'd never take it off

I asked about a car having a clean title or not on FB marketplace. The guy went nuts and got offended. I did not buy it.

That is a modular home. Almost like a mobile home but built a lot better.

Thumbs up for the boxer

Always have cash at home. When the SHTF or Russians hack occurs.. ATMs won't be available 🤔

That van would make gingerbilly proud. TRUCK GANG

You’ve just done what you said other guys do with the 9am guy lol

When you buy cars on market place you need to have cash in hand ready to buy and go immediately if not you’ll just be wasting your time

Haven’t watched the video yet but if it’s on Facebook I don’t think there’s anything that I wouldn’t believe lol

That van is one of a kind!

LOVE THAT BOXER IN THE BACK SEAT!!!!!!!!❤️❤️

Ive driven by it many times acuity in sheboygan , wi huge

Actually based off the title because it’s FB market place I can totally believe it😂

Make sure you always check ur title people !!

I buy used cars every once in a while, I start shopping for my next car when I leave the lot in my new car. I love to shop for cars. Facebook marketplace, Craigslist and even auto-trader are full of people who may not be scammers, but they are lying to buyers from the beginning. They advertise as if they are private sellers, but really are in business of flipping cars. A lot are people who flip cars, and really are unlicensed dealers. You can tell because every two weeks, they will have a different car for sale with the same contact cel-phone and the pictures will all be taken in the same cul-de-sac. I don't even call these douche-bags. In my state, you need a license if you sell more that 5 vehicles per year and have to have a place of business. If you have to lie to me to just to get my call, no dice. It is also my experience that most of these clowns buy the cheapest parts possible, do the minimum amount of work to get the vehicle to just present well and just really do a lousy job reconditioning the vehicle. I could go on and on. Love your channel BTW.

62 Is a good location. Very busy road too and from Jeffersonville too Madison.

Love your Boxer sidekick.

Also. If you can see the plate or get the vin use sites like vehicle history or vin readers to look at t details on the vehicle Check. Title status

The look on the dogs face, like wtf are we doing 🤣🤣🤣. I wish you was in ohio to sell me a impala. My love car 🤣🤣🤣

Must be more money in car sales than I thought. Acuity’s 400 foot flag pole cost between 5 and 10 million

What app do you use to scan VIN number

Ur dog: what u looking at boy im chilling😭

Can you do a review on your truck? I’ve been wanting to buy one

I bought a car fbmp. Similar, except i was the buyer lol. He said i got someone coming. I said text them now so we dont have a problem n tell them it sold, just like that. N he did. You need to ask how long they had the car n if they have proof of how long they had the car for. If they had had it for a few years n they're the 1st or 2nd owner. Than ur starting off where u want. This is the best tip i will give you

I am on the buyer side on the whole item is sold. You always want multiple buyers, I just sold my car last month, I inform everybody it first come first serve.

I’m on buyers side. You never actually really know what your getting into when purchasing a vehicle on marketplace. You can only see so much at first.

Train tracks means cars covered in rail dust. Tiny rust spots that scares people.

My old boss had a dodge van up pickup van it was cool

Dog back there chilling lol

Should we ask for the vin # when looking for a car on Facebook ??

Tell them your Okay with paying their asking price. They'll hang on to it until you arrive, then you can pick it apart and make a firm offer.

I have bought and sold several on FB. Sold one as recent as two weeks ago. It is my retirement hobby. I only buy one owner, with a clean carfax, verifiable service history. Harder to find. Only sell to people with cash, 1st one gets it, meet at a secure location. Find have the people don't read the description.

Building looks like a modular home to me

Whistling diesel would probably try using it as a truck to haul things only to break it completely

I would say buy that paved retail lot because prices are just going to go up.

That location looks poor for selling cars.

Sounds like Craigslist. A lot of crazy people out there.

what is the best app to scan the vin?
