Should I have said something? Wtf did that carfax say.
>>28049255>drives the car he's selling retard
>>28049362my bad i'll just walk 5 miles to work everyday
>>28049374>mutts are afraid of walking 5 babby milesyou can’t make that shit up
>>28049374why are you selling the only car you have then?
>>28049380so i have a down payment to finance a new one?>>28049379i don't have time in my schedule to walk an hour to work everyday
>>28049386so you're just gonna take time off work to buy a new car? how the fuck aren't you getting this?
>>28049392potentially. i'm a student so i work an internship part time. i also have friends who could give me rides. it shouldn't take more than a week to finance a new vehicle.the car's been listed for over a month. obviously i'm not taking work off or bumming rides for an entire month.
>>28049386noone wants to show up sweaty and dirty to work, bro
>>28049386>>28049379
>>28049386get a cheap bicycle.
>>28049437my last bike got stolen. and i live on a hill.Unless you meant a motorcycle, which also wouldn't work because I live in the midwest, so it snows and there's ice for 2 months out of the year.
>>28049255>holding anything for anyone without a deposit
>>28049446So a bike and a lock
>>28049502my bike had a lock on it. i bought that huge $100 chain one that lockpickinglawyer recommended. they still somehow stole the damn thing.
>>28049255Never commit for more than 2 weeks. Especially if it depends on selling a house or if it involves mexicans. Its one thing if you're selling a shitbox to local Mexicans for $700 and the guy says I dont get paid till next Tuesday, but if Tuesday rolls around and he says sorry amigo, my girlfriend stole my paycheck can you hold till next tuesday then you let him know that its available to others but if you still have it next Tuesday he can come look
>>28049526The better the lock, the more people want to steal it. The best option is to get the shitty bikes from Walmart or target, rebuild them, spray paint them with whatever colors of Rust-Oleum is on sale, then wire up a shockamajig (mine is home made) to the handle bars. No one will steal some shit bike that electrocutes them
>>28049617yeah i'm obviously pissed because I want this thing off my fucking hands and I've been unable to sell it. all I can do is keep dropping the prices. I'm already losing 5k in equity because I bought when used car prices were insane.
>>28049638 I bought my car at the top of the market too. But its a decent car, so not too big of a deal.How much is your car Worth anyhow?
>>28049645Bought for 9.5k.Dumped maybe 2k worth of parts into it.Trying to get 6k back. Originally had it listed at 8k but no shot I'm getting that much.Previous owner was kinda retarded. I was a car noob. Definitely some dumbass "I know what I got!" type millennial who hyped his shitbox up as something better than what it actually was.
>>28049701You bought it, so hes more of a salesmen than a dumbass. And you paid whatever high price. Anyhow FB marketplace sucks. Not sure if it works better, but I actually look at Craigslist and OfferUp, and I dont even have an FB account. I prefer Craigslist but I know paying $5 to list a car is hard to do.
>>28049526Get an electric scooter and park it in your work's building.
>>28049255>giving a shit about any buyer's story other than "on my way to the bank to pick up the cash right now">giving a shit about even that for longer than one dayYou deserved to be jerked around because you're retarded.>dealing with browns in the first placeWe warned you br/o/.
>>28049255Why do you retards think rare = valuable
>>28050063t. future DeBeers employee
>>28050064Idk what that means but I've got a 1 of 1 taser I made from a disposable camera when I was like 12 sitting at home. Rare find only 1 of a kind. For the low price of 1k dollars it's yours.
>>28050073I already knew you didn't know what it meant.
>>28050084Fine I Googled it. Seems to me debeers would push that rare does in fact = valuable so I guess you're just retarded. Want my thousand dollars disposable camera? It's rare!
>>28049446You only get two months of frozen hell? Lucky.
