Don't Get SCAMMED on Facebook Marketplace

[@glennnickerson8438]

Presentation is everything!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Exactly!

[@Str8sixfan]

sooooooo typical. My last recommendation is: expect the dead end roads, and know you'll need plenty of patience along the way. I think the Montego is easier to sell later. The C60, while cool is only practical to a small market

[@OldeCarrGuy]

You're 100% on the wagon......but how cool is the truck?

[@Str8sixfan]

@@OldeCarrGuy it's cool for sure. But if you're not keeping to be some sort of trailer rig, I think you'll regret the purchase if it's to help towards that cummins truck

[@OldeCarrGuy]

@@Str8sixfan 😛 Still cool though!

[@GrimmsAutoService]

Good info Jason love to watch your videos

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Glad you like them!

[@jackcarraway4707]

Not only is it full of scammers, it's unbelievably glitchy as well. You just randomly lose access for no reason.

[@gregorydavid7755]

I have been buying and selling vehicles parts etc for over 40 years. Watching your video I'm agreeing with everything your showing and stating. Now even an old dog like me can learn something and I did watching your video. Last Spring I was trying to sell a 1967 C10 Chevy pickup on Kijiji with the gut saying he was in Regina and I'm in Saskatoon 250 kms between the cities. The guy was insisting I get one of those reports and like you had never heard of them. I did the same as you and offered up the VIN so he could get the report himself. My spidey sense was going boing, boing but stayed polite and he used the same thing u mentioned that it wasn't his vehicle so it wasn't right he get the report. We both wouldn't budge. So now I know what he was up to and again thank you for the video.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Thanks for sharing

[@Robert-mz9hi]

​@@OldeCarrGuy Yep. I'm selling a Lincoln Continental Mark VI in excellent condition, no rust, clean title. I cleaned it in, out and I put over 20 pictures in/out from every angle. Everybody thinks they can get everything for nothing these days. I had it on Facebook marketplace for over a month. All I get is compliments, ghosted and low ballers.

[@jameslegault8845]

Thank you for the informative video Jason. Spot on.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robertvance1873]

Montego for the WIN 👍

[@OldeCarrGuy]

For sure!

[@hobbinshotrods6051]

The truck would be my pick!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Pretty cool eh?

[@unclesquirrel6951]

Personally I. Blame squirrels

[@richarddoherty8090]

I lean towards big old Ford cars. I'd go with the wagon.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Good call!

[@alanmoore78]

I'm a huge 72-79 Ford intermediate fan, so hell yes I'd like to see that Montego wagon on the channel. Missed an opportunity to buy a '73 Montego that color about 3 years ago, running, no rust, but rough cosmetically for $2000. Just found a '76 Montego sedan locally, just gotta save back up for it, and figure out how to have it towed home as it is not running but not locked up.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

I’m really digging that wagon!

[@Mrnormalsense]

This was a fun video. Id like to see how to buy a car outta state and get it shipped to your home. I see so many good deals just far away and I can’t personally tow it down. good post

[@tertessa]

I think the wagon would the better project...great advice

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Yup! Stay tuned

[@RealWorldGarage]

I have been in and around the used car business since I was 15. Lots to learn, lots to avoid, if it sounds like BS it probably is. Hope you had a great Holiday with family and friends!!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Well said Brian

[@morewithles]

Enjoyed the video and agree completely. I have a ton of audio stuff I want to sell but just don’t trust people anymore. Spring is coming so yard will get it done like always. Blessings

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Thanks bud

[@harnettsgarage]

I've put " Wanted" or " ISO" Ads up on Marketplace and Kijiji looking for Studebaker and Model T parts and I always get " How much for the car?" Or " Can I get more pictures?", " What parts do you have?" If I respond, it's always " Did you read the ad?!"

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Isn’t it rediculous?

[@harnettsgarage]

@@OldeCarrGuy It sure is!

[@WillsWheels]

Get the wagon...that thing is cool! Scammers suck! Great Video!!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Thanks Will

[@rondogwil]

I think the truck would be fun although not real useful for most people.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Agreed!

[@mexicanspec]

Here is the deal. Those people that don't put information know that people that use FB Marketplace don't read any of it so they don't waste their time. I have parts for sale where I am and no matter what I put in the text, they ask the price and the details. They don't read anything.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Exactly

[@robertvance1873]

I feel bad for the old P71 I bet the rear end brakes and transmission are toast, the one with the big GMC is just lazy 🤣

[@jasoncarpenter4116]

The Odometer reads and you said in the video 234,000 Kilometers but your ad says 434,000 Kilometers

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Sorry about that. I was reading the miles but my ad in kilometres. I do make mention of the high mileage quite frequently in all my other videos.

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

I’ve seen pictures with people’s garbage still inside.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Right. Clean up your mess!!!

[@oldcarnocar]

yeah marketplace bites

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Indeed

[@ian-mcc]

Wagon life!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

For sure!

[@truckerdave5122]

I've got a gran marquis I'll trade you ... previous owner claimed it's not best on ...... 🤣

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Not best on what Dave?

[@truckerdave5122]

@@OldeCarrGuy oops typo previous owner claims not beat on lol 😂

[@mexicanspec]

The Lincoln really has 434,000 KM on it?

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Yes! 434k kilometres

[@georgeponnay447]

This reminds me of when Dalton at Pole Barn Garage does his "Crackheads of FB Marketplace.". Good info 👍.

[@mattfoley6333]

You should not be having ppl off line you don't know coming to your house as being a public figure as yourself. Would have them meet you at your car lot. I just got a 04 grand marquis LS ultimate edition with 92,000 miles on it and love it.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Unfortunately, they are basically the same place. lol Sounds like a sweet ride.

[@glennnickerson8438]

Treasure it Matt! Best car built in 20 yrs!

[@alanmoore78]

In order of irritation moderate to high, things *I* hate about FBM: "Is this still available?" and then no response. You say yes, and they reply, "I don't want it, go away". I think the issue is on mobile, you're browsing, go to scroll down and it sends the default message to the seller. There should be a confirmation dialog before sending the message. People who offer you $300 or $500 for your $2500 vehicle and then get upset when you don't entertain their BS. "You never know unless you ask" oh no pal, you KNOW this is a running/driving late model minivan that isn't wrecked with cold air and no rust, you're well aware this is NOT a "scrap value" kinda car. People who want to make payments. "You can trust me", no way buddy, I don't know you at all. It gets more ridiculous on lower priced items like laptops. I was asking $150 for a pretty nice older gaming laptop (good enough to play 720p GTA V, not good enough for Cyberpunk any res) and I got more than five people asking if they could take it and pay me $20 a week. I'm not Rent-A-Center. You want a laptop for $20 a week save for 2 months you'll have my $150 asking price. If you can't do that, how are you going to pay me every week? People who ask fifty detailed questions on a barely running heap. Dude, it's a $900 car, it runs, it moves, it shifts, it turns, it stops. It doesn't do ANY of those things well, you WILL have to put work into it to keep it roadworthy. I'm not sending you a dozen pictures of the underside. It's got thirty years of dirt and grease down there, it looks exactly how it should. I'm not paying for a Carfax on a car with 288K miles on it. You want one run it yourself. You want to know more about the car, COME SEE IT, it's not going anywhere. People who make plans to come see the vehicle and don't show up. They either stop answering messages or string you along "just five more minutes" "my wife isn't home from work yet" "I'm waiting for a ride" and then three hours later I gotta go to work and cancel and then THEY get mad at me. Man, I got a JOB to go to, make a commitment and follow through or don't bother!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

100%

[@derekbowbrick6233]

Why do you never see an engine bay picture? P.S. clean your floor in the car. lol

[@OldeCarrGuy]

LOL I knew someone would comment on that. It was just snow. But yes! Show us the engine bay.

[@martinsgarage2217]

Wagon slammed

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Why not eh?

[@robertvance1873]

And meeting the person who has the GMC make sure you have someone with you because they sound Shady you just never know these days.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

lol

[@mexicanspec]

That is a Bobcat not a Pinto.

Same thing at a glance
