[@OneOut1]

During 25 years of being a used car dealer I never once let a "sold" car be driven. Craig just demonstrated why.

[@damonreynolds110]

Yeah I agree, especially when it's personal use. One deposit is down, park it up and light prep for buyer. But each to their own I guess 😜

[@robm3063]

I wonder if his online dealer school has a section on how not to drive something that has a deposit.

[@gingernutpreacher]

My dad brought a used car year's ago it was a old banger £1000 probably twice that now with inflation he paid for it ( I think in full ) and when he picked it up it had a extra 210 miles on there attitude was it has 130000 miles on it so what he said it was sold you did this on my car

[@djsonicc]

I think that crash was before it got sold.

[@Rhodeygirl]

This is a deal breaker for me. If I have a deposit down, you touch that car for cleaning only. I'll watch your videos but wouldn't recommend you as a dealer.

[@Akadjjay]

Hi Craig, I sell cars for friends and family out of my driveway so they don't lose money on trade in. I hate marketplace but unfortunately it's where people look so I am forced to list the there. However I have found something that helps to comb through the crap you mentioned in this video. I have found people don't read the description and only scroll through the pictures. I take amazing photos of the vehicles I sell so the first one always stands out the second picture I now have a PDF photo saying the price and reasonable offers considered by serious buyers in person only. Online offers of any kind will not be considered and will be ignored. It has practically eliminated the problems for me.

[@juanojeda8069]

Oh great idea 💡

[@zrex8911]

👌

[@dajam9035]

Smart. I like it. I bet there was a lot of people who do not read the description 😂

[@onetonf350]

Good ideas

[@sophiaaceves5368]

I sell cars online too but because you don’t accept offers through text, would you consider it a waste of your time when people come to look at the car in person and only offers an amount you’re not willing to take?

[@DunnDifferent]

Omg I died laughing watching you go through all the offers 💀💀💀💀 I sold on marketplace for years and stopped a couple years ago because of what you just showed 😂

[@alexisstarsmith1477]

Solution? State in ad: "ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE proof of valid DL / current insurance and funds / pre-approved loan / or confirmation through our lenders to test drive, no exceptions period" what's your thoughts Craig? Anyone?

[@DunnDifferent]

[@sneezinhatch]

People don't care to read the descriptions

[@aaronbritt2025]

@@alexisstarsmith1477 The problem is people don't read the ads. I used to sell cars on FB Marketplace (and Craigslist) and had lengthy ads that fully described the vehicle along with any damage/defects. I also took pictures of any damage. If I had a nickle for every person that asked if there was any damage, I'd be a millionaire.

[@sahilsarwari7398]

You should make a compilation of the worst and funniest Facebook conversations, I would definitely enjoy it

Yes!

I'd watch that!

[@dawn2788]

Auction Tips- we do a "tag team" approach to pre-auction. Much quicker & easier, one hooks OB2 Scanner, other checks tires, wheels. etc, One starts engine guns engine, other is looking under hood at engine same time, and exhaust, brake lights, and fluids etc.. All options and windows checked out, total time 5-8 min per vehicle. Alone, a 30pt inspection would take 20-30min. Or go visit a new car dealer, for all his over 100k trade-ins, no auction needed. Brandon Ford, Tampa, will not keep any trade-ins over the 3yr/36k factory warranty, everything else is auctioned.

[@bdotguy5703]

Car sales especially on market place is brutal. Everyone is an expert and everyone has a friend who bought one for cheaper. It’s a joke. Kudos to you for handling it so well. I’ll do a few flips a year for some passive income but definitely not quitting my day job anytime soon

[@WesBundy82]

I absolutely love the needle analogy.. classic. . Perfect fit.

[@daviddennis7558]

FB Marketplace is a supreme PITA when selling almost anything. The buyers with the stupid questions, the low-ball offers and frankly, the threats and the sellers with the unreasonable expectations just do not make it worth it for me. Good video.

[@harrisonchevy4452]

You are a great wheeler dealer. Your operating style is the best. I am a loyal fan. Take care.

[@actionfaction2558]

The thing I really like about the 370z, is that the interior shares the upmarket fitment of the R35 Skyline. Where as the 350z’s are shabby looking IMO. The 370 is a really nice improvement in overall fit and finish quality from the 350.

[@andydhillon1977]

Craig, Can you do a "shorts" series with all the funny/ridiculous conversations you have with tire-kickers? Lol

[@FlyingWheels]

Will do

[@allergictoglobalists]

I woulda painted the entire front bumper. Not much more work and it would have looked much better. I think that's taking care of the customer more than blending.

[@David-nx2vm]

Bravo. I’ve sold many cars in my 66 years, going back to print newspaper ads. They always do one of two things. Either a ridiculous lowball swing-for-the-fence like Alfred E. Newman hitting on the prettiest girl at the party, or the “what’s your best price?”. First one’s easy. Second one, i take them to school. “The price is in the ad.” “Yeah, but…”. “There’s no ‘yeah, but’. Here’s how this works. You make an offer, i make a counteroffer, and we either meet somewhere between them or we don’t. But I’m not going to negotiate with myself. That’s stupid.” By that time, most of them have that look toddlers get when you try to explain the Second Law of Thermodynamics. These people are out walking freely among us…

[@lvthud]

As long as the IMS bearing has been changed you should be ok on the Boxster, if it hasn't, you are in trouble, unless you find someone who doesn't know or care about the hand grenade sitting behind them. Oh and a Q8 though it's detuned in the Audi.

[@kingleo2432]

The messages brought back ptsd when I sold my infinity. My goodness lol.

[@haroldgordon290]

Great Video! I do believe the car with the same engine is a Audi RS Q8

[@zamomix]

Once I forgot to use the parking brake on my 370Z. By chance I went to my garage and the car was right by the garage door. If anyone would to open the garage door, it would have scratched the bumper at the least. I quickly move it and engaged the parking brake - a must on every manual.

[@FlippingUniversity]

It's tough selling a car like that right now. It's winter so not as many people would want to have fun with it now. But at the same time it's good to sell it before car prices start dropping

[@davidr6865]

It’s such a stupid phenomenon. As if it’s never getting warm out again

[@ratdaddee]

I'm in West Texas. I sell several Corvettes every year, no matter the season.

[@FlippingUniversity]

@@davidr6865 yea it is honestly, but it goes to show most people don't completely buy with logic. Most of it is emotional

[@adamsdailydriveway]

Market place is 80% salvage cars and 90% “is this available”… 10% are actually willing to buy a car and not give stupid offers.

[@chrisced007]

When I listed my 92 Nissan Sentra for $1,500 on MP I had one person in particular ask if I would take welfare checks as payment.

[@theoracleprodigy]

Facebook is a joke to sell things. I sold a Ducati Panigale R and had an idiot trying to offer 9k for it. I ended up selling it for asking price of 17.5k. Book was 21k, that Facebook guy kept trying to negotiate his last offer was 12k which was below trade price that a dealer would offer. He was rude to the very end saying it wasn't worth my asking. I blocked him after letting him know it sold for asking and to stop wasting people's time.

[@kickinaddiction]

I sell most my cars on fb marketplace. Craig if you don’t put FIRM in the ad, you’re opening yourself to these ridiculous offers. Put in the ad that you do not respond to offers below asking price. That will save you plenty of hassle. 👍

[@bluepak]

You're awesome by sharing it with us!!!

[@danvain]

I could just watch videos about your conversations with the Facebook marketplace crowd. It is gold.

[@Scientist_Salarian]

We have the same problem here in the firearms business. People mod the hell out of something, bring it in to sell it, and think they’ve made it more valuable. Just a big fat headache for the new buyer.

[@mikestone496]

People who tried to negotiate without driving car were ignored by me back when I was in the game. Usually had cars sold before I bought them, wholesaler. Enjoy your content

[@sophiaaceves5368]

Did you wholesale to retail dealers? I’m wondering because I also have my wholesale license but I’m not sure on how to gain clientele

[@kevinsboxster2310]

I think that Boxster is a good deal if the seller accepts your bid. A previous owner replaced the top with an aftermarket glass window product which is a nice upgrade. If you had attempted to operate a top with the plastic rear window (the only option available until the 2003 model year) you risked cracking it.

[@cs1375]

Crazy how those Boxsters cost so much more than a Miata at the time and still came with a plastic rear window, just like the Z3s.

[@ericmeifert1344]

Thnx You are always entertaining I'm 65 been dealing with cars sales yadayada FOR YEARS Craig spot on with the wanna be buyers. Happy New year to!!! God Bless

[@alexvelasco4579]

Just a suggestion when parking a manual transmission car with or without a hand brake or e brake always leave the car in second gear or fourth gear. The stick will never pop into neutral..

[@JohnDoe-zo5tu]

I recently sold a 21 year year old motorcycle on Craigslist. It ran well and the price was fair. I mentioned in the ad that I didn't want it anymore because I now only ride my much newer motorcycle. I had a couple people ask me if I could give them the bike for free since I already had another one. I also had a couple of people that wanted to set up a payment plan with me (and the total payments was still less than my asking price). I ended up selling the bike to a middle-aged man who bought it for his son. Since the price was more than fair, he didn't try negotiating. He gave me a check, we went to his bank, and I got the cash. Why can't everyone be like that?

[@Xavior48]

If he wrapped a z around a telephone pole, he wouldn’t be walking away…maybe carted away and buried somewhere a couple days later.

[@kendemers8821]

The nonsense you have to put up with from "tire kickers" is amazing. It's clear to me you are not in an easy business but I can also see that it can be fun!

[@nickchromiak4404]

I'm a dealer in San diego and have the same issues whenever I buy infiniti g35/g37s.. I now don't allow test drives on these cars because of the kids / tire kickers...

[@peterc6559]

Selling anything on marketplace or even eBay is so exhausting. So many people who message with just “lowest?” “lowest price?” - no introduction no sentence just that. Its incredibly annoying and I used to be so polite and professional but they have worn me down nowadays I either dont answer or get really short with them. Lowest is the listed price always.

[@ASoberBear]

[@mired914]

I blame all the "flipper" tv shows for how people attempt to negotiate now. And it's on literally everything now, not just cars. Being a reseller of anything is a pain in the ass now.

Every thing about this video is so correct . When I sell on market place I think that every one thinks it's customary that you have to give them a deal under the asking price.

[@gtmaster3031]

Pretty sure you can sign up for an insurance policy and pay monthly. If you cancel early, you get a refund back. If a driver chooses not to have insurance, that's on them. But for the test drive and while they're shopping for a car, they can get a policy, even if it's temporary

I hate dealing with people on Marketplace. I was selling a 6 place snowmobile trailer some years back, all rebuilt with new decking, axles and tires and was asking 1600.00 for a starting price. One guy texts me and says he has 400 cash. I text him back "as a deposit? When would you have the rest?" and he replies "Just the 400.00" . I laughed at him and blocked his acct. As for the Urus equivalent, my guess is an SQ8. If that is it, that a nice ride and I am looking forward to the video on that. Happy New Year to you and your family Craig!

[@manpretty5816]

Guess on the teaser car? Hum...a 1987 Yugo GV Fastback with a two speed tranny with the shifter probably located in the glove box...

[@cyberslacker5150]

You need to hire someone just to go thru the bad offers and send you the valid offers only. Someone who is desensitized to the pin pricks. Someone who can take the flames, the insults, the name calling, the low balls, etc. Then you'll only hear of the best offers. It could be someone working remotely. Send them a few bucks.
