FAQs

How do you negotiate on Facebook Marketplace cars? ›

Make an Offer on the Vehicle and Negotiate Reasonably

If you're not comfortable haggling, ask a friend or family member to help you out. Start by making an offer lower than what you're willing to pay. The seller will likely counter with a higher price. Then, you can start to negotiate from there.

Many buyers shop online for used cars with a filter that lists vehicle prices from lowest to highest. So when a Facebook seller lists their vehicle for a ridiculously low price, they may just be trying to get you to see their listing among possibly thousands of other listings in your area.

The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is the fastest-selling new car at 14.2 days on market, followed by the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Land Rover Range Rover. The Lexus RX 350h is the fastest-selling used car at 12.3 days on market, followed by the Lexus NX 350h and Lexus NX 250.

Look Out for These Scam Warning Signs

The listing is too good to be true, with an unbelievably (and probably falsely) low price. The same vehicle is listed in multiple locations throughout many states. The seller claims they will use eBay's Vehicle Purchase Protection, which is available only for purchases from eBay.

Don't be too aggressive when you're negotiating. We're all people on there, looking for a bargain or a profit, so you want to be respectful and polite. But, in most cases, depending on the cost of the piece, you could maybe get a 10 to 20 percent discount on the original list price."

The key is to be as transparent as possible. As a private seller, you have to deal with your own disputes, since Facebook does not step in as a mediator. It's best to avoid creating misunderstandings by being as detailed as possible in your listing. You should also include information about the car's title.

Pay your seller securely

Facebook Marketplace doesn't facilitate payment for vehicles, so you're on your own to find a secure way to pay your seller.

The Global Auto Brands Ranking

The Japanese Toyota is still the best selling Brand and has been for the past 10 years, selling 4.41 million vehicles up to June 2024, a 0.3% year-on-year loss.

"If a seller has multiple listings of the same piece, no profile picture, or they're a new account without ratings, those are immediate red flags." It's important to remember that a person's seller page is linked to their personal Facebook profile, which should theoretically showcase their lives over many years.

It's advisable to be cautious about sharing your VIN on public platforms, including Facebook Marketplace.

Haggle. There's nothing wrong with politely proposing a lower figure – especially if a seller listed an item a while ago and doesn't have any takers. On Facebook Marketplace, all you need to do is click 'ask for details' and suggest a sum. Check as often as possible.
