It does seem like there’s a lot more cars on here than CL... though it might just be that it’s searching a wider area.

god speed out there, fb market place is possibly even worse than craigslist.

There is a local selling e39 seats. if they’re sport i want to buy them, because they are black, leather, from the right year (two stage airbag) and heated. but the one pic he posted is from the back seat. i’ve asked multiple times for a photo of the fronts. and he replies ‘sure’, then 2 weeks later ‘hey u still want the seats’

What are you looking for exactly?

Right now I’m trying to find a

manual

wagon

Volvo, Mercedes, or BMW

model year ~2001 or later (proxy for ‘safe enough’)

without leather seat upholstery

which is turning out to be really hard to find. So maybe I should just get an Outback. Or a Honda Fit Sport, and figure out how to swap in a Volvo V70 cloth seat, if there’s enough room for me in the footwell (I’m 6'1" and one of the main reasons I’m buying this car is for long road trips, so I want to be as comfortable as possible on those 8+ hour days).

price?  I drove a Fiesta ST from Vancouver to Mt. St. Helens and back in one go.  Worst automotive experience from a comfort perspective ever.

Way, way worse. My brother posted the S-10 for sale on Facebook last night because it didn’t sell sitting in front of the house. Wow, what a nightmare. The stupid is just non-stop. Last night at 9:00 pm there were people wanting to drive two hours to look at it. 3 people said they would be at the meeting point at 9:00 am not a single one showed up. Every one of them was “serious” saying they would be bringing cash to buy on  the spot. Craigslist is way more preferable imo.

I made myself a new email to handle Mercado Libre... I worry I'm gonna be spammed to hell and back.

I’m hoping for $6-7k but I could probably go up to $10k if necessary for the right vehicle (I should go talk to my credit union once I’m not sick).

My mind boggles

Tough TBF I’ve only had good experiences with CL (somehow)

Here in Vancouver lol.  I think used cars are cheaper for Americans who shop here.

I’ve always found a lot more of what I’m looking for on fb marketplace. Unfortunately, the response rate on fb compared to local cl equivalent is about 1% compared to around 75%

Nope... its an Argentine online shop

Yeah, and if you thought Craigslist descriptions were vague, they ain’t got nothin’ on FB Marketplace descriptions!

Hah! I misread it and thought your new e-mail name was Mercado Libre!

Can marketplace be used without the app? It's garbage that I can't get to it via the desktop or mobile websites.

I can get to it on the desktop site:

Haha I enjoy the name you created. I once created a Facebook account named "Hugh Jazz". Much less creative but Ya know high school!

Also don’t see it on mine but it is difficult with pirate language in the way lol.

Yeah, it might only be there on mine because I started a conversation with a seller. But like I said, they seem to push it pretty hard i n the righthand sidebar when I’m looking at posts.

You could also try going to the marketplace URL directly:  https://www.facebook.com/marketplace

Thanks! It’s an extremely deep Bloom County reference that probably nobody will ever recognize as such

And it learns what you search and look at and pushes them hard.

So... what were you searching on when you found that BMW? Craigslist?

Yeah Vancouver craigslist.

Look at this thing: HMMMMMM

That does look nice, but that is def. outside my price range

Yeah.  That other BMW is still on there though, I saw it yesterday

There’s a fantastic-looking red 2005 V50 T5 AWD manual that somebody’s selling near Seattle, but there’s a joker in line in front of me who’s trying to buy it and can’t even drive stick :’(

Boo. He should be disqualified

Tell me about it. I can’t find any other manual V50s without the leather interior for sale anywhere in the whole country (let alone within a day’s drive & back) so he’s really grinding my gears right now.
