WHY FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE IS THE BEST PLACE TO BUY A CAR!

The amount of scammers on there now is so insane.

I have to say, I was tempted by the 2019 BMW M5 for £5000 that was on Marketplace. Seemed legit! 🤣

You guys need to release these podcast videos in full format, fantastic content guys!

Buying from Facebook Marketplace is the best because I can check people's profiles and see videos of them limiter bashing their "never abused" car around ASDA roundabouts! 🤣

I am one of the folks responsible for building the volvo pimpmobile when i worked at emerald Its a take on the ausitn powers goldmember time machine We drove it across france to monaco and back as part of the bangers for ben banger rally last year It wasnt all plain sailing though 😅😅 Its still owned by emerald and is still on site I have shared video to the top dog at emerald would be good to see you buy it alex!

I live in the States and I can affirm Facebook marketplace is an amazing place to find a car. Due in part to the fact that everyone can sell everything. I bought an '08 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 5 speed manual for $1,200 because the previous owner saw the oil pressure light pop on and knew nothing about cars. The car sells here for about $5,000 at a dealership. All I had to do was replace a $25 oil pressure sensor

Fb marketplace is wild. The scammers are off the charts. Can usually spot a mile off. Everything is like £83 or they will say my son will collect, what’s your email and I’ll send payment, email comes in saying it’s been paid and they will expect you to send the item based on that.

"You can find the car you never knew you wanted" I had some (ex) friends pose as me to a seller, and they bought a 90 miata I was going to buy that day from under me... I learned about the existence of the Mk1 MR2 that night because of Facebook suggesting it as a "similar search", still upset about that Miata, but the MR2 became a dream car of mine instantly, and now I have one (with a blown motor...)

Well done mate, can’t wait to see it completed! M2 is amazing as well

That 'pimp-mobile' is just awesome. It dosen't just whisper class it shouts out loud ''I've got class and good taste!' I agree about the snowplough grill, maybe replace it with a gold plated, diamond encrusted radiator (like one from a house) and a tasteful massive rear spoiler. Class, sublety and moving perfection.

Buy the limo please 😂

It´s great listening to you guys. This has a cosiness to it. The fact that this is a video adds to that.

The limo was a car that was made and used for a car dealer charity event. There was a few other cars that was pimped out too.

Will you start to upload the full video podcast to Spotify and other platforms? I normally prefer to watch podcasts then just listen. Great work to Alex and team. Keep the great content coming guys.

Love the work alex

I bought my 2007 Mazda3 with only 75k miles and in great nick for only £1k and other than the odd drop link//brake cable needing replacing from wear and tear/corrosion, it has served me so well. More options available too than Autotrader etc. Feel like Autotrader is slowly becoming the overpriced and non-1st choice for people now.

Got my white landrover disco 2 v8 2000 model on FB marketplace a couple of months ago. 1 owner since new. 60k miles, garaged since new and full landrover history. It even has the new car smell. I’m so happy with it. The wife not so much as she wanted a 7 seat X5

The grill on the pimpy Volvo limo looks like grampa's fireplace!

Scammers are definitely rife. It was lovely to meet you all at shedfest this year! Even if I forgot Tom Lenthals name right in front of him 🤣🤣

Here to see the pimp mobile!

Would love to see you guys do a video on scammers and try to catch them out/name and shame some of them.

I bought a 1992 J VW Jetta MK2 GX Wolfsberg edition on marketplace one, went to buy it in Wrexham from East Anglia, paid 2k for it, bought it and drove it back in the pouring rain and it didn't miss a beat. Bonus the sunroof didn't leak.

Had some good cars and some very bad cars from Facebook market place 😂 but it’s all part of the fun! Great seeing you guys at shed fest thou had an awesome time. Are you going to post a video of any of the day?

Hahahahaa lads great video!! We own the purple pimp limo!! We need to sell it and donate any proceeds to charity.

Looking for a first car and saw a 2007 vw polo for £1500 ( rlly good in the NI) guy told me there was a brand new mot and only a few scrapes,when I got there the fella selling the car wasn’t even there it was one of his workers, he lied and the car failed mot and abaout a quarter of the car was painted with a brush, moral of the story, ALWAYS go see the car before you send any money

Was literally just listening to this on the podcast 😂👍🏻

Love having a fun podcast to listen to again! You have to buy that pimp volvo!

I thought the thumbnail was just some silly photo editing, didn’t expect that thing to actually exist 😂

Finding a genuine add on marketplace is getting ridiculous. Example, Dorris who looks to be in her 70s has 12 4x4s, 4 mercs 10 BMWs, several motorhomes and boats for sale......alway click on seller profile. I kind of given looking on there to be honest. Faceache don't appear to do any basic checks before allowing vehicles to be sold by any random. Very common to the same car being sold in all 4 corners of the UK. Where it used stand out a mile as a scam (far too cheap) now harder to filter out as they price them fairly normally in a lot of cases

Can you please buy the pimp mobile and make a video on it 🤣🤣🤣🙈

I was able to sell my car in a month on marketplace and received the amount I wanted because it was a fair price. But I’ve had one of my motorcycles on marketplace for nearly a year trying to fund my college classes and every inquiry I receive is about maintenance and price and then complete silence. Or it’s people saying “I’ll have a guy come pick it up and pay you” lmao. Marketplace, it’s so tiresome…

The limo at Emerald is up the road from me 😂

Enjoying the podcast so far but can we get the whole thing on youtube please? I feel like a lot would be missing with this only in audio form.

Is that limo from a old unaired Top Gear episode!!

Can you please, please post the whole podcast video. After listening to the podcast and watching these videos, the video versions are much better!

That purple limo is from emerald located in Wednesbury, Walsall. It's an acquired taste 😂

You need the Purple Limo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A day late BUT: Even if you go look at it in person be careful because people will rob you. Make sure to be weary and bring a friend with you or at least tell others where you're going.

I love asking for the price of the objects in the background on Market place, like how much for the dog in the background mate 😂😂

Tight dress rabbit hole gets me to too Alex 🤣

The purple limo is a take on the Austin Powers pimp time machine limo.

I haven’t been on Facebook for over 3 years but I do miss marketplace. I don’t miss scrolling looking at shit I don’t need, but I do miss picking up bargains. I’m currently looking for a shit box car as well and fb marketplace is the top farm for those 👌

I fell into the "Suggested List" Trap. Was looking for a R56 Cooper S. Up popped an E46 330i manual saloon, 20mins down the road. Ended up buying it two days later.

I listened too all this podcast the first day it came out excellent podcast so when is the next one? 😊

Send the pimpmobile guys a message saying you are Autoalex and you offer them 2K in order to get it in shape for a video. RU-vid NEEEDS this pink beauty

The scammers are hacking real peoples accounts to make it look more legit, my missus fb was hacked and they listed hundreds of cars under market value

Last car and still currently using. Was cloned and got tickets for driving wrong way down a bus road from the other side of London. Luckily got it over turned as I had roof bar's online from day one. Did all the checks and was sound. But the scammers use it as you stated.

Should make a video on k11 micra

The gaming setup fella has definitely been told to sell it by his mrs but he doesn’t want to 😂😂

i saw that purple volvo in dover once… finishing his roadtrip

Once found my mates car for sale on ebay so we contacted the bloke 😅

I actually seen the purple limo forsale on gumtree a week ago me and my friend had a right good laugh over it 😂😂

i wish i culd watch the full Podcast, maybe after all the small uploads are gone they will publish the Vid version of the pod?, Great POD Anyways !!

Taylor’s mini is like Trig’s broom 😂 (one for the older fans)

70% adverts on marketplace is a scam these days 😢

I’ve bought a couple of cars off Facebook marketplace. Always massively below market value. But you do have to be stupidly careful about the scans

There are so many scammers on facebook though. It's becoming ridiculous.

That Volvo 960 limo - they killed mah boy!

Totally agree FB marketplace is the place to go. I bought 2 custom hearses for $4k USD and both of them should have been worth at least that much a peice.

Is that a cheeky little B5 in the background? I swear, if it's an S4 I'm going to get pretty excited

I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed that I guessed the Volvo limo would cost 7k.

Mark Zuckerberg is watching this like 👁👄👁

You guys should do like a Max power car challenge

Haven't got FB, might have to just for the cars

We need that volvo!!!!!

Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥

If they dont ask for a deposit, they ask for you to email them and its being sold on behalf of aome one else

Release these on full content please, the comments have spoken. job done, old out yer and

In regards to asking for deposit for anything selling, I sell alot on FB marketplace ( have 4.8 stars out of 5 ) and send around the country alot. You would be surprised how many people give $$ up front for stuff.

Maybe this is a hot take, but in my opinion the whole marketplace seach function is ASS... Every damn car is listed as auto, but barely any actually are autos. You can't do specific searches, it just throws any old shitbox or broken bmw at you, no matter what you search for. And if you restrict the search radius, the actual cutoff in the listings when it goes beyond that radius is barely noticeble. Here in sweden we have "blocket" and it's miles better than marketplace. The prices for cars are high, but the search function is amazing compared to marketplace. But I don't know, maybe I'm just shit at navigating marketplace...

Can you watch the full podcast somewhere?

This podcast is very very enteraining...

i found a registered 125cc motorbike with a 750cc gsxr engine in 😂

my stolen BMW 328 story that i sent to the car throttle podcast (with mike brewer) came from FB market place.

so many sammers on facebook great work you guys your epic

It brings out the worst in people so many stupid questions!

Do that show with the pimp mobile, and call it Pimped-by-Ride 😎👌🏻

Two things annoy me. People who advertise the car as an M3, but then say in the ad that it’s a 320d……..secondly, those people that out the price as £1234 and then in the ad say a completely different price……arggghhh

Damn n blast! Can't find 'the pimp mobile video on youtube'. Wanted to have a butchers at it.

And the sponsor of todays video you’ve guessed it’s Facebook market place 😂😂😂😂

Good advice for ANYTHING on FB market these days. Someone tried scamming me for an s22 at £180 😂 nah mate 😂

Consider releasing the full, un-edited podcast here? I know loads who would have it on for a drive or similar.

I think you guys have to get that limo. It's in such bad taste, but it's also quite cool as a result. I think Snoop Dogg would approve.

only a 30 second delay from RU-vid notifications

Will a video version of these podcasts be released on the channel? 😁

Where can i get Full Video? Seperate Channel?

EBay is stupidly annoying these days. Everything you look at cars you then get a notification and an email asking if your are still interested in the car you looked at. 😡😡

I think marketplace is awesome I have had great experiences personally probably just luck but it can be alright if you happen to be fortunate

Hi alex and Taylor and Rory

Managed to grab my Cupra for £700 last year Fair to say they fetch some money now 😅

What do you right at Facebook marketplace to search cars you buy

Pimp challenge please!!! 🤩

Expose scammers on marketplace

So much truth in this 😂 the women in a dress 1 💯👍

Y’all have to buy the limo.

Market place is brilliant once you have filtered all the rubbish out, biggest down side apart from the scammers are the £1234 items then the person wants way over the odds. Also what’s with Harvey Webbs roof fin infront of the toolbox?

Anyone remember the cross section old 90’s vauxhall in red that was for sale for years from a museum? Weird

You can also tell when the scammers have about 50 other cars for sale at stupidly cheap prices 🤬

Giveaway phrase "no liens or encumbrances". Wtf lol
