what did he mean by this?

I dont live in the US but what are 1$ posters?

fags post their cars for $1 so it filters to the top of the list when you put lowest price first

>Odometer says 350000
>it slipped, it actually had 200k on it I swear

god, in my fucking area they've started posting shit at like $500-$1700 for leases and shit then you got the dealers posting shit in the used section.

Why are these people such idiots? As if people browsing shitboxes on CL are going to want to get into a fucking $500+ dollar a month lease I dont get it

>As if people browsing shitboxes on CL are going to want to get into a fucking $500+ dollar a month lease I dont get it

Its not rich people getting into shit leases and shit credit situations, its exactly the people on CL who can't afford to buy a car on credit who are the prime target for credit companies, there is huge amounts of money to be made in the sub prime credit business specially since when people quit paying, the government takes over the risk and no one loses money.

But those people are more likely to go into a dealership and get into a lease not browse CL first

All kinds make the world go around user.

by far the most annoying are the retards that post a screen shot of the KBB value. if i gave a shit about KBB value i'd look it up myself. if you want to give useful information i can't easily look up myself then pay for a carfax and put that up.

on offerup, car salesman are literally posting every car on their lot so they can get the sale

>no pictures of interior
>no pictures of engine

if there is a long streak of dealer postings i go ahead and open them all then report them all

i might start calling the numbers and play blaringly loud music in their ears, or post their numbers on the hookups pages

>NO TEST PILOTS

motherfucker its a fucking riced out honda accord not a Ferrari F40 you piece of shit.

>so valuable
>cough cough no engine or trans

I saw a riced out early integra the other day and the guy had fucked with the suspension and the car was bouncing everywhere and small bits were flying off. he was even driving like an asshole too.

Maybe they just wait for someone to test it and blame you for the bits falling off.

don't ever buy shit from mexicans

The whole "no test pilot" thing is to prevent people from joy riding a nice ride. But if I am paying big bucks for a BMW M3 I need to know the shit drives straight and its not fucked to shit.

OH FUCK A MUTHAFUCKIN FIERO WITH A BODYKIT

When you actually weed out 90 percent of this garbage on CL, 10 percent that are left are legitimate car listings. I'd rather sometimes pay the premium of using AutoTrader or whoever to avoid this shit.

>2500+ listings to look through
>try to narrow it down by using the mileage option
>set it at like 200k
>gets rid of like half of all the cars
>turns out people are too lazy to even put the mileage, so I have to sort through everything if I want to actually find stuff

>try and sort it via type (pickup)
>people don't bother to even put that, so I have to sort through that manually too
>stuck fucking looking through 2000 sedans because people can't be bothered to proper search terms

repeat with every single fucking search option god damn it, people should be forced to pay a $1 to post an ad on CL, it would weed out 99% of the shit heads

I just found out you can put "-word" to take shit out of the search.

Fuck I wish I knew about that a month ago, would've saved me from looking through 100's of seebrings and kia's

You don't get the same deals.

I had a used car dealer try to sell me one for around 5k only to find out that that was a down payment on a 25k car at least
but of course he never mentioned the last part until I considered actually buying

Wouldn't the low price been indicative of something being off unless its a $5k civic he was trying to jew you for $25k?

I saw an old rusty hearse on a trailer PIECE BY FUCKING PIECE going for what the whole car should've costed at most in its condition

I hate those cockteases
>everything looks perfect

>actual car not pictured
Vote down the ad for being deceptive

>high-performance car at high mileage
>list of mods longer than The Brothers Karamazov
>never abused, always adult driven

The thing I hate most is when these retards list a car that needs the headgasket redone or transmission rebuilt and they list it at the same price or more than a fully functional one.

Morbidly obese owner. Guaranteed.

I wish I cared enough to call the cops on faggots who do this shit, but I'm not even sure if they'd be able to do anything about it anyway.

your first mistake was looking for a miata

Seems like the car was giving him trouble and he wants to get rid of it. Maybe im just being paranoid.

There's a sucker born every minute user, thats why.

am I the jackass here or is this guy asking way too much for this Jeep?

>muh resale value
yeah tho, even if all that shit was worth $50k, I doubt rock climber fags want to spend $50k on someone elses jeep.

>uralvagaonzavod
>T-72

>Mileage is almost never over 200k km
A friend of mine bought a Fiesta that truly only had 66k km and it was obvious the mileage was real, the inside was practically brand new.
But you see these supposedly 110-130k km cars that are completely tattered and worn, and you can be 100% sure the mileage is bullshit.
Even with cars bought/brought from Germany (which here have a good reputation for some reason) you can be sure they've turned back the odometer (plenty of Turks and Arabs run dealerships).
My car was brought from Italy and true to the stereotypes about them it's been scratched and dented to hell and back, and the thot who drove it didn't change the oil for god knows how many km.

Go and check it out, inspect it thouroughly. There is a greater than 0 chance that nothing if wrong with it.
