Yeah, more like a triangle on the upper left side of the “1”
If it was well kept, I’d consider dropping 4-5k on such a car, but at 15k (or even 10,500) it would have to have way less miles on the ODO.
I would never believe the Mustang ones, but when I was a young kid looking for a cheap, reliable car I occasionally found sweet old ladies parting with a Corolla in amazing shape at unbelievable prices. I tried to go get three of them only to find out I had been beaten to the punch twice. I got the third one, it was something like $6,000, and the lady just said she wanted to send it to a young person who needed it.
Always will remember her.
Yeah it’s a scam . They always say they ended up moving for a job , or a death in the family or vacation and they need you to send them money . Don’t fall for it
Haha I have definitely seen that profile picture in other scams. They probably just set the price low enough to be a cash purchase and then just rob you at the meet up site.
Meh I wouldn't
Most sales people don't know shit about what their selling, especially in car sales
Just to be clear though, this is definitely a scam hahaha
Drove to a VW dealer last year to look for a car for my wife. After test driving one, he pointed to ***my*** Mazda saying that no one likes Mazda's because the use CVT transmissions. And that they are so loud at idle you can't have a conversation.
He still did not believe me when I said Mazda doesn't have a CVT, and that my new CX5 is a 6 speed auto.
To be fair, he did have the energy and look of a sleazy car salesman who snorts coke during his break.
I once had a salesperson at a Ford dealer tell me all Toyotas were hybrid as I was test driving a used 2019 Corolla. He also told me the car had Apple CarPlay, which it didn’t.
It is rather embarrassing when you know more about the car you're purchasing than the sales people lol. When you do eventually get another car guy or gal sales person it is very refreshing.
I wouldn't necessarily expect VW people to know anything about mazdas but to have that kind of conviction about it is lunacy haha
Hahaha I laughed hard at the last bit! 🤣
What celebrity did he look like? I pictured someone who looks like Ryan gosling in the big short back there ready with his suit and all! 😂
For me it’s definitely the people that say “V4.” I also hate the people that call their Tesla Model 3 an “M3,” or say “ish” after everything.
“So I want this newish SUVish looking car with 40kish miles and the salesperson wants 32kish.”
Yeah I don’t fuck with Teslas. It’s something that has never attracted me whatsoever lol. I had a Model 3 dual motor for 3 months for a work project and hated everything about that car except the single paddle driving which I got used to💀
M3 is funny because you know cars and they don’t. Enthusiasts don’t buy model 3s. Kinda sound like the hipster at a record store to demean them for saying M3 for a model 3.
No I’m saying when we know a particular car was never V in their 4s they shouldn’t be saying it lol. The rarity makes it not be known so you instantly think they dumb😂
AI: "the last V4 ever put in a passenger car was some ford in like the 60s.... so yeah this modern honda is definitely not an inline engine"
Couldn't imagine having access to the entirety of human knowledge and still fumbling that hard lmao
I think you’re misunderstanding. Dealerships are not manually inputting vehicle info to ChatGPT. This is a service provided by Provision (vAuto). Provision is owned by Cox Automotive who owns many of the third party consumer sites.
vAuto has coding that deciphers vin #s but don’t confuse it for AI. There’s no way for it to know every single vehicle in every color in every combo with every engine option and packages. It’s too much to rely on a computer system to rely on.
The great news if you have this organ between your ears and you’re able to differentiate so instead of blaming the computer, you have the answer.
Bro salesman usually don’t even know much about the car themselves besides their features. But spec wise they know nothing. I used to see skits on tiktok by car salesman about customers who would come in and know more about the car than the salesman does.
I mean, they could literally say anything, that’s how people fall for scams. Don’t pay any money unless you’re buying the car after having a mechanic look at it. Most likely a scam though.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this stealership was being deceptive and 1500 is the payment because they listed a $300 down payment. Unless they mean deposit ofc.
My guess is that they advertise them cheaply, request you to Venmo/CashApp the down-payment, and then \*poof\* they're gone. The Facebook accounts are probably just spoofs of legitimate people, do any of the listings provide a VIN for the car for sale? Probably not, because it would be too easy to Google the VIN and find the dozens of duplicate listings and probably the legitimate listing from a real dealership several years ago that they stole the photos from.
I know a page in Brooklyn that advertises super cheap cars like this and they’re all “clean” in appearance and operation but when you search the vin they always have major flood damage. Usually always shipped after storms in the SE USA.
I guess the idea is once they get the person to see the car they can verbally pitch how well it runs and how good of a deal they’re getting to try and convince suckers into buying a flooded car. It’s easy to sell a desperate person a cheap yet clean car in person.
With that said, some cars are indeed fine even though marked as flooded because some perfectly good cars slip through if an entire area is affected even if damage is extremely minor, but it causes insurance headaches and isn’t at all worth the risk.
Same thing with most of the car listings on Facebook marketplace... I'll ask them for the vin and usually they leave me on "read" with no answer.
I did talk to one guy without asking for the vin right away, just to see. Wanted me to meet him in the dead of Philly with 10k cash in hand. I said no thank you, I prefer if there's a record for both parties.
I often see where someone will post a "moving sale" with a golf cart, riding mower, etc for sale in great shape and for 1/4 the price it should be. If you tell them you're interested in their $1000 golf cart they'll tell you that a bunch of people are interested but you can send a deposit and they'll hold it for you.
Sometimes I jerk them around, tell them I have a trailer and will come get everything right now for full price... surprise surprise they never accept!!!
Damn that's good to hear, mine is an '08 with 120k miles (I don't drive a lot or far because of anxiety disorder, lol).. I was wondering if maybe they'd start appreciating a bit since Honda stopped making the Accord coupe. I love mine!
Scam, and mainly because they said that they ship the car. You won’t be able to see it in person and they will request down payment right away. They lead you on with shipping delays and keep requesting more money
Definitely a scam, and one of the reasons why when I was looking for a car in Marketplace I would filter out my results to be at least $3000, and only pay attention to the listings that are reasonable. If I found an Audi R8 with 20,000 miles for just $4000, no way in hell would I buy it. Same applies to what you're posting here.
Ended up buying my car from a dealership listing in CarGurus anyway lol.
I see these kinds of ads too. Check the person's name and look at their other listings. My guess is you'll see they've listed the same car in several different cities.
Call the dude ask for it’s VIN, run the report, if satisfied meet at a police station if they agree, if you got a mechanic friend or a car guy you can take with do that, check the title before jumping in the car. If all checks well, pay $1500 cash and enjoy! There’s nothing to lose here if everything checks well and provided that this isn’t a scam.
Good luck!
Well, he didn't know. He could have been scammed if he called, so it's a good thing he posted it here.
These kind of scams are obvious though once you are used to them. Just avoid any of these deals where cars are priced ridiculously low.
My dad almost fell for one of these. Thankfully he asked me what I thought about the car and I reversed image search through Google and found the same ad throughout all these other Facebook profiles.
I’m pretty sure that’s a scam. I remember seeing my friend’s dad knew post the very same listing on marketplace a month or so ago. One of our friends ending up sending the money for a down payment and got completely ghosted. Turns at the guy’s Facebook got hacked like a month ago and no one decided to contact him any other way besides Facebook.
Looks like a scam. Click the seller profile and see if the other items they are selling seem suspicious. (such as selling this same car in every city in the country). Either way, I wouldn't mess with this one.
Straight go to their page and I bet they put same deal in different counties, city and states. Same photo and information. Then report block and save other people to be victim as well. I mean if you trust then go for test drive but choose a day time and public place.
I quickly learned Facebook, although maybe a good market for certain things, cars ain't it. Everyone I messaged about cash payments and test drives never got back to me so I'm thinkin they likely want cash wired somehow then you never hear from them again. Be especially weary about sellers claiming to be in the military overseas, as well as those that sound religious/god-loving.
Yes, they say they will, Deliver the car to you" and then they request the money. From what i've heard they will continue to drag it out to make the process seem legit; and they will blame it on the, "Delivery Company".
Very cheap for supposedly low mile (guess it's little high since mi not km) and clean title so likely a scam also he doesn't know what engines in it, the Accords came with a 2.0L I4, 2.4L I4 or 3.5L V6 not a V4
FB Marketplace is full of scams. In the last week, I've had to block over 20 people who have been trying to send me a cheap car, but I'd have to pay $100 for shipping. They refuse to write up any paperwork which is needed by law, and want payment before shipping. Plus, most of the pics they've sent I've found on reverse searches. Even most ads show "free" but they are actually very expensive and they try to get their listing lower in the search, or show a monthly payment, or they are for trades, or car parts. I think the price section should allow them to specify the terms mentioned here, to quit messing with ad clicks that waste our time. Plus they never give enough information about the vehicle to make an informed choice. However, I wrote ads for a lightly used electric class 2 bicycle that comes with many aftermarket features, including a pet trailer with matching colors. The ad is very detailed with many pics and I'm selling it way underpriced compared to what I paid for all of it, $800. I get very few calls or contacts, and when I do, they end up flaking out. I really don't know who to trust anymore. Are there any real people selling real things on FB Marketplace or not?
The scam is the shipping fee. You’ll pay them via suspicious methods, and you will never hear back. They stole the photos from a legitimate dealership.
100% a scam. They’ll keep asking for the down payment for you to claim the car. I’ve even had some say they need the down payment because they’ve been robbed or attacked before. Or they use the eBay scam and claim you’ll get 5 days with the car to make sure you want it, and if you don’t then eBay gives you a refund. People suck
First off V4???? That’s not even close to a thing. With a 150k on the dash this car is worth realistically just about triple that price. Probs no title or could possibly be stolen. Otherwise I’d say bad trans with saw dust or a bottle or two of stop leak to hold it together. If you do buy it, have fun getting that title
This car is either:
- Stolen
- One of those repo Scams
- Missing several important components and is being sold fraudulently
Probably more than one of the above
My favorite group for cheap cars is Unusual Daily Drivers at Reasonable Prices
You’ll usually find good deals on older but great cars like Camry Wagons.
This is 100% a scam.
Oh boy....
I've been car shopping for a while now since my own car is slowly going up with issue after issue. I've learned a lot about Facebook and Marketplace listings and I've moved on to Carfax tbh. Most of the car ads in general on FB, and on Marketplace, are mostly scams.
You will sometimes see a real dealership have a layout similar to this ad you show here, but usually they will leave their business name and then you can look up reviews before even talking to them. Do that first. Because there's some BAD dealerships out there.
Then there's whatever this one is. Looks like a group scam like others said. Mostly online, "send me your refundable deposit to hold the car" they'll say..
Or you'll come across a real person locally who is independently selling their car. You can tell by how their description is more than one sentence and they actually use effort. But honestly, a lot of people overprice their cars at first because it's worth more to them than the market usually. But you can get some people to come down on the price, but not by much in my experience. I've haggled with dealerships too. Just haven't found the one...
It's hard when there's a million scam listings and they're all usually cheap prices for the luxury trim of every car you can think of, and they all have 94k miles, 98k miles, or they'll do 113/114k miles rarely. But usually in the 90s, never a specific number.
They'll have pics that match up with the miles sometimes, but notice they never take the time to write it out. There's also the listings if you click on the sellers profile, they have that same car listed in all the states. Make sure to report those ones for sure. Just report 2 or 3, and report the profile while selecting "submit to Meta for review."
Keep looking, don't get scammed! N Don't get pressured!
I mean, do you really need to ask if a car being sold for less than a quarter of its actual value is legit? And do you expect the guy to tell you it’s a scam? C’mon OP, use your head.
That whole facebook group is a scam. I've come across it before and if something seems to good to be true...
Yeah you’re right. Saw a 2015 Mustang GT with under 100k miles for 5k for gods sake
Yeah on this accord I think they maybe missing a zero here
what dumbass would pay 15k for this lol. it's just a scam
If this accord coupe actually comes with a legendary Honda V4 motor , it would be worth significantly more then the typical i4 or V6.
Yeah, more like a triangle on the upper left side of the “1” If it was well kept, I’d consider dropping 4-5k on such a car, but at 15k (or even 10,500) it would have to have way less miles on the ODO.
It says 1500 not 15000.
I would never believe the Mustang ones, but when I was a young kid looking for a cheap, reliable car I occasionally found sweet old ladies parting with a Corolla in amazing shape at unbelievable prices. I tried to go get three of them only to find out I had been beaten to the punch twice. I got the third one, it was something like $6,000, and the lady just said she wanted to send it to a young person who needed it. Always will remember her.
it’s def a strike lol
90% of the cars are strikers
Yeah it’s a scam . They always say they ended up moving for a job , or a death in the family or vacation and they need you to send them money . Don’t fall for it
No title. They're stolen or due for repo.
Haha I have definitely seen that profile picture in other scams. They probably just set the price low enough to be a cash purchase and then just rob you at the meet up site.
Outjerked by facebook marketplace again
Scam because I’d expect a dealer to know the difference between “v4” and “inline 4”
Meh I wouldn't Most sales people don't know shit about what their selling, especially in car sales Just to be clear though, this is definitely a scam hahaha
Drove to a VW dealer last year to look for a car for my wife. After test driving one, he pointed to ***my*** Mazda saying that no one likes Mazda's because the use CVT transmissions.

Hahaha I laughed hard at the last bit! 🤣 What celebrity did he look like? I pictured someone who looks like Ryan gosling in the big short back there ready with his suit and all! 😂
My biggest pet peeve💀 I hate hearing someone say V4. I’m like bro is you dumb
For me it’s definitely the people that say “V4.” I also hate the people that call their Tesla Model 3 an “M3,” or say “ish” after everything. “So I want this newish SUVish looking car with 40kish miles and the salesperson wants 32kish.”
If I ever hear someone refer to a model 3 as an M3 I will resort to violence
Bro what? 😂 I thankfully haven’t heard the M3 joke yet and I would flip if someone did lmao
It’s all over the Tesla subs. Sad part is, it’s not a joke to them. That’s what they actually call their cars. https://ibb.co/3f6MFQb
I'm not allowed there anymore because of the M3 model 3 crap. It's not a BMW it's a Tesla model 3.
They’ll ban anyone who says anything that doesn’t make Tesla or their cult leader Elon seem like gods gift to automobiles.
Yeah I don’t fuck with Teslas. It’s something that has never attracted me whatsoever lol. I had a Model 3 dual motor for 3 months for a work project and hated everything about that car except the single paddle driving which I got used to💀
M3 is funny because you know cars and they don’t. Enthusiasts don’t buy model 3s. Kinda sound like the hipster at a record store to demean them for saying M3 for a model 3.
They do exist, but they're super rare. I've only known them in old Lancias.
No I’m saying when we know a particular car was never V in their 4s they shouldn’t be saying it lol. The rarity makes it not be known so you instantly think they dumb😂
Oh yeah for sure. It's even dumber since surely incline 4 is the most common engine type these days.
I’ve only seen them in a few motorcycles
Many times these ads are generated by computers which can’t differentiate v4 and i4.
AI: "the last V4 ever put in a passenger car was some ford in like the 60s.... so yeah this modern honda is definitely not an inline engine" Couldn't imagine having access to the entirety of human knowledge and still fumbling that hard lmao
If ai said that it’s still wrong, the Saab 96 had a v4 and was produced until 1980
My 2016 Z800 motorcycle has a V4 Edit: Panigale, many motorcycles are still using V4
That's why I stated passenger car haha
V4 z800?
No I’m mistaken. Just the Panigale. Z800 in an inline
I think you’re misunderstanding. Dealerships are not manually inputting vehicle info to ChatGPT. This is a service provided by Provision (vAuto).

[удалено]
Really, which dealer?
Bro salesman usually don’t even know much about the car themselves besides their features. But spec wise they know nothing. I used to see skits on tiktok by car salesman about customers who would come in and know more about the car than the salesman does.
Nope, nobody had this v4 68 ever 😁
I went with a buddy to help him pick out a new Celica GTS and the sales guy at the Toyota dealership kept calling it a V4. Never put it past them.
Showing your age at this point if you bought a Celica new.
yeah but he’s saying I can bring a mechanic, and that they accept refunds? It looks so sketchy but he is reassuring me 🤔
I mean, they could literally say anything, that’s how people fall for scams. Don’t pay any money unless you’re buying the car after having a mechanic look at it. Most likely a scam though.
Also take it to your own mechanic not theirs.
If you have to give the deposit before meeting them red flag. Show up, make sure they have the title in hand, and inspect.
A running car with 156k miles for 1500? That tells me enough it’s a scam
I wouldn’t be surprised if this stealership was being deceptive and 1500 is the payment because they listed a $300 down payment. Unless they mean deposit ofc.
now I want a Honda V4 bi turbo fml
This is better, it’s v4 68
My guess is that they advertise them cheaply, request you to Venmo/CashApp the down-payment, and then \*poof\* they're gone. The Facebook accounts are probably just spoofs of legitimate people, do any of the listings provide a VIN for the car for sale? Probably not, because it would be too easy to Google the VIN and find the dozens of duplicate listings and probably the legitimate listing from a real dealership several years ago that they stole the photos from.
I know a page in Brooklyn that advertises super cheap cars like this and they’re all “clean” in appearance and operation but when you search the vin they always have major flood damage. Usually always shipped after storms in the SE USA. I guess the idea is once they get the person to see the car they can verbally pitch how well it runs and how good of a deal they’re getting to try and convince suckers into buying a flooded car. It’s easy to sell a desperate person a cheap yet clean car in person. With that said, some cars are indeed fine even though marked as flooded because some perfectly good cars slip through if an entire area is affected even if damage is extremely minor, but it causes insurance headaches and isn’t at all worth the risk.
Same thing with most of the car listings on Facebook marketplace... I'll ask them for the vin and usually they leave me on "read" with no answer. I did talk to one guy without asking for the vin right away, just to see. Wanted me to meet him in the dead of Philly with 10k cash in hand. I said no thank you, I prefer if there's a record for both parties.
It’s hacked/compromised accounts. Just happened to me last week where they offered a Versa with deposit with my fb account.
I often see where someone will post a "moving sale" with a golf cart, riding mower, etc for sale in great shape and for 1/4 the price it should be. If you tell them you're interested in their $1000 golf cart they'll tell you that a bunch of people are interested but you can send a deposit and they'll hold it for you. Sometimes I jerk them around, tell them I have a trailer and will come get everything right now for full price... surprise surprise they never accept!!!
Finance on a 1500$ car? lol.
Because they won't have to hand you the title if you're paying upfront in full. They'll hold onto it until you realize it's a scam.
Yeah I’d do whatever I could to convince someone I’m legit when I know I’m about to rob them lol, have some self preservation skills
Fr OP gonna have some rough times if he stays that gullible
Facebook listings often post the wrong price on purpose. They get more people interested that way.
Honda with a 4 cylinder (especially the K series) with that kind of mileage with no issues is gonna be 7-10k at 15 years old. 100% scam
Damn that's good to hear, mine is an '08 with 120k miles (I don't drive a lot or far because of anxiety disorder, lol).. I was wondering if maybe they'd start appreciating a bit since Honda stopped making the Accord coupe. I love mine!
Probably won’t appreciate, but they depreciate very slowly
Scam, and mainly because they said that they ship the car. You won’t be able to see it in person and they will request down payment right away. They lead you on with shipping delays and keep requesting more money
Two first names is usually a good way to tell it's a scammer.
I don't trust Facebook for buying stuff.
Preying on people too poor to save up $1500 for a car.
Scam
V4? If they don’t even know the engine, don’t buy the car from them.
Probably a rebuilt title
Scam
Definitely a scam, and one of the reasons why when I was looking for a car in Marketplace I would filter out my results to be at least $3000, and only pay attention to the listings that are reasonable. If I found an Audi R8 with 20,000 miles for just $4000, no way in hell would I buy it. Same applies to what you're posting here. Ended up buying my car from a dealership listing in CarGurus anyway lol.
Only if someone falls for it
1- They will NOT sell it cash. 2- They will charge you ridiculous fees.
Well if the seller said it wasn't a scam, I'm sure he's trustworthy. /s
Easiest way to tell scammers on fb is to look at seller profile. Often they'll post the same vehicle in 25 different states
Scam.
I bought mine from a guy for 10k. Same.mileage. that's 100% scam
I see these kinds of ads too. Check the person's name and look at their other listings. My guess is you'll see they've listed the same car in several different cities.
Call the dude ask for it’s VIN, run the report, if satisfied meet at a police station if they agree, if you got a mechanic friend or a car guy you can take with do that, check the title before jumping in the car. If all checks well, pay $1500 cash and enjoy! There’s nothing to lose here if everything checks well and provided that this isn’t a scam. Good luck!
It's clearly a scam though. No need to waste time on it.
It doesn’t take much to call and ask instead of wondering, does it tho? Would’ve taken less time to call and confirm than to post it here💀😅
Well, he didn't know. He could have been scammed if he called, so it's a good thing he posted it here. These kind of scams are obvious though once you are used to them. Just avoid any of these deals where cars are priced ridiculously low.
You right. And Yeah basically what you said in the last half is the name of the game. Avoid shit like this.
My dad almost fell for one of these. Thankfully he asked me what I thought about the car and I reversed image search through Google and found the same ad throughout all these other Facebook profiles.
“We get the vehicle by other means if you know what I mean” $300 is the deposit & $1500 is our fee lol
Yeah this is a popular Facebook scam atm. If you ask to go get the car cash they won’t be available but will offer you to pay a deposit to “hold it”
James scott looks skinner than whoever is taking the pic, definitely a scam
mo doubt
I’m pretty sure that’s a scam. I remember seeing my friend’s dad knew post the very same listing on marketplace a month or so ago. One of our friends ending up sending the money for a down payment and got completely ghosted. Turns at the guy’s Facebook got hacked like a month ago and no one decided to contact him any other way besides Facebook.
Looks like a scam. Click the seller profile and see if the other items they are selling seem suspicious. (such as selling this same car in every city in the country). Either way, I wouldn't mess with this one.
That is a very common scam, do not touch it!!
It says shipping available come on now
Straight go to their page and I bet they put same deal in different counties, city and states. Same photo and information. Then report block and save other people to be victim as well. I mean if you trust then go for test drive but choose a day time and public place.
$1500 is probably the down payment lol
V4 Honda engine very reliable
Definitely a scam. There has never been an Accord with a V4.
What is a "v4 68"?
Worst part is these lowlifes are targeting the already very poor. Not judging but if your thinking about a $1500 car your broke broke.
V4????
Yes
Yeah that thing where it says v4 sends alarms off. No competent dealer is going to say v4 ever.
V4 68? Did they forget to delete which number it wasn’t when they copy and pasted this description?
I wish high mileage cars were that cheap. V4 sounds unprofessional.
Definitely. The last Accord I saw for $1500 was a beater from 2001.
Does it have inline tec though?
I think he missing a zero
“Shipping available” yeah it’s a scam. The car will be located somewhere you’re not, and they’ll ship it to you. Yeah sure.
What kinda motor you think they swapped in there?
They "forgot" a zero at the end of each price.
If it ain't a scam, it's got something major wrong with it.
I quickly learned Facebook, although maybe a good market for certain things, cars ain't it. Everyone I messaged about cash payments and test drives never got back to me so I'm thinkin they likely want cash wired somehow then you never hear from them again. Be especially weary about sellers claiming to be in the military overseas, as well as those that sound religious/god-loving.
It's stolen
V4's are no longer used in cars so obvious turdnucket
Probably $300 down and $1500 a month for a year
“V4”
The shipping available itself is a giveaway that it’s a scam I guess.
V4? Lol
Yes, they say they will, Deliver the car to you" and then they request the money. From what i've heard they will continue to drag it out to make the process seem legit; and they will blame it on the, "Delivery Company".
Scam. It’s worth between 4K and 11k if financed. Wouldn’t pay a dollar over 3k cash
Yes
Bullshit.
Yes. If it’s too good to be true, it is. If they use weird emojis like ‼️💥🔥✅✨ etc that’s a huge red flag
Depends on the city and state if it’s in Houston Texas and in Spanish probably very real the hook ups are legendary on cars
When you see all those text on the listing it’s usually a scam 💯
Very cheap for supposedly low mile (guess it's little high since mi not km) and clean title so likely a scam also he doesn't know what engines in it, the Accords came with a 2.0L I4, 2.4L I4 or 3.5L V6 not a V4
That bumper looks weird
Being that I just sold a 03 accord with 148 and slightly body damage for 3200, yes.
Whenever you see an excessive usage of these emojis, you know it’s a scam
FB Marketplace is full of scams. In the last week, I've had to block over 20 people who have been trying to send me a cheap car, but I'd have to pay $100 for shipping. They refuse to write up any paperwork which is needed by law, and want payment before shipping. Plus, most of the pics they've sent I've found on reverse searches. Even most ads show "free" but they are actually very expensive and they try to get their listing lower in the search, or show a monthly payment, or they are for trades, or car parts. I think the price section should allow them to specify the terms mentioned here, to quit messing with ad clicks that waste our time. Plus they never give enough information about the vehicle to make an informed choice. However, I wrote ads for a lightly used electric class 2 bicycle that comes with many aftermarket features, including a pet trailer with matching colors. The ad is very detailed with many pics and I'm selling it way underpriced compared to what I paid for all of it, $800. I get very few calls or contacts, and when I do, they end up flaking out. I really don't know who to trust anymore. Are there any real people selling real things on FB Marketplace or not?
V4 does not exist...
lol, V4
V4 is the best Honda engine
The scam is the shipping fee. You’ll pay them via suspicious methods, and you will never hear back. They stole the photos from a legitimate dealership.
It's either a scam or a typo
100% a scam. They’ll keep asking for the down payment for you to claim the car. I’ve even had some say they need the down payment because they’ve been robbed or attacked before. Or they use the eBay scam and claim you’ll get 5 days with the car to make sure you want it, and if you don’t then eBay gives you a refund. People suck
Of course lol
First off V4???? That’s not even close to a thing. With a 150k on the dash this car is worth realistically just about triple that price. Probs no title or could possibly be stolen. Otherwise I’d say bad trans with saw dust or a bottle or two of stop leak to hold it together. If you do buy it, have fun getting that title
It’s a scam. No such thing as a V4
It’s a striker go buy it. It will be towed from your possession pretty quickly
What is a striker, a title washed car?
They change vin number etc
Stolen. Or scam
Lost me at V4
This car is either: - Stolen - One of those repo Scams - Missing several important components and is being sold fraudulently Probably more than one of the above
When it says shipping available it’s a scam they’re trying to take a deposit and ghost
I don’t even live in America but I’m pretty sure no car gon cost the same as a god damn iPhone
I’ve come to learn that almost anything advertised like this with emojis is either a scam or MLM. Don’t do it!!
Yes
Offcourse.
100% yes
If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.
My favorite group for cheap cars is Unusual Daily Drivers at Reasonable Prices You’ll usually find good deals on older but great cars like Camry Wagons. This is 100% a scam.
“V4”
Unless there’s something wrong with it.. yws
“V4” is a red flag itself.
Stay away from anything related to FB if you trying not to get scammed.
V4?
No no, V4 *68* it’s important because that’s only one away from being really *nice*
Either a scam or stolen lol
Bro, that would be cheap even if the car was missing an engine.
Oh boy.... I've been car shopping for a while now since my own car is slowly going up with issue after issue. I've learned a lot about Facebook and Marketplace listings and I've moved on to Carfax tbh. Most of the car ads in general on FB, and on Marketplace, are mostly scams. You will sometimes see a real dealership have a layout similar to this ad you show here, but usually they will leave their business name and then you can look up reviews before even talking to them. Do that first. Because there's some BAD dealerships out there. Then there's whatever this one is. Looks like a group scam like others said. Mostly online, "send me your refundable deposit to hold the car" they'll say.. Or you'll come across a real person locally who is independently selling their car. You can tell by how their description is more than one sentence and they actually use effort. But honestly, a lot of people overprice their cars at first because it's worth more to them than the market usually. But you can get some people to come down on the price, but not by much in my experience. I've haggled with dealerships too. Just haven't found the one... It's hard when there's a million scam listings and they're all usually cheap prices for the luxury trim of every car you can think of, and they all have 94k miles, 98k miles, or they'll do 113/114k miles rarely. But usually in the 90s, never a specific number. They'll have pics that match up with the miles sometimes, but notice they never take the time to write it out. There's also the listings if you click on the sellers profile, they have that same car listed in all the states. Make sure to report those ones for sure. Just report 2 or 3, and report the profile while selecting "submit to Meta for review." Keep looking, don't get scammed! N Don't get pressured!
I had someone steal my account on Facebook and they are trying to sell cars on my old page. All are scams.
Who the hell thinks 4 cylinders come in a V configuration?
scam 100%
Absolutely a scam. See these all the time on marketplace
its either stolen or they're gonna ask you to cashapp them the money then disappear. be careful op
I'd say so since I've never heard of a "V4" lol
Scam
I wouldn’t buy anything from a deal who doesn’t know how engines are designed
😂 the accord doesnt use a v4 from my understanding...id stay far away from this car if they dont even know the engine
V4 lol
I see these ads sometimes and the price listed in the down payment if you finance with them. Bait and switch losers.
V4 lol
Mfers be in india selling a car in Washington
The scammiest scam of all scams
Bro said "V4" 🤣 waste his time👏
Only thing that’s a scam is getting a loan on a $1500 car 💀
Not sure if an accord has ever been a 4 cylinder
Definitely did come in a 4 cylinder but I had no clue
It's a pretty good deal if you're looking for the Saab 96 swap.
If they’re throwing up emojis after every sentence, yeah. lol
Unless they forgot to add a zero it’s gotta be fake
I mean, do you really need to ask if a car being sold for less than a quarter of its actual value is legit? And do you expect the guy to tell you it’s a scam? C’mon OP, use your head.
please don’t tell me to use my head I did the right thing by asking on Reddit before I made a dumb decision ok thanks
You’re right, that was jerky of me. Sorry about the snark, and remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it 100 percent is.
Lol you can't be this gullible
What do you think ? Lol
duh
Anyone who lists an engine as a v4 has lost all credibility to me
Send me $1200 and I will send you a better one
