OT: newer way to buy used car - Beepi

[eddief]

Never heard of it before yesterday. Not a dealer, not Craigslist, not a private party...maybe way better. I like the concept.

It will be cool once they have a bigger data base of cars. I searched and they only had like 10 toyotas

For yucks I input Ferrari as search criteria and got a "We're sorry, we don't have that, but here's a list of cars you might like" message instead. That list included a Honda Civic. :bike:

I reserve my Ferrari shopping for Craig's list.

So I'm going to buy for less & sell for more? That must mean that you are going to buy for more & sell for less. Thank you.

I typically look for deals on used 90's Ford Taurus's on Ferrari Chat forums.

I looked at their listings for BMW and Porsche and the prices seemed high.

Asked for Silverado's, got a Prius and a Fiat 500.

A+ Beepi :)

it's paying a little more for the added security and convenience they provide attached to a private party sale, without the gouging or conniving that goes on with a dealership.

and come on folks, it's a new service, you can't expect them to have the inventory of a well-publicized and renowned site.

and their price is better than any on CL or Auto Trader dealer or private party. And yes, it is a new service, as was ebay once upon a time.

I don't know about the market in the Bay Area but in San Diego the new car dealers are selling new Accords, Camrys and probably other models at such discounts that the prices are very close to what some ads show for used ones.

We can't both "buy for less/sell for more" (which is what the ad vid promises). If I'm buying for less than elsewhere, you are selling for less than you could get elsewhere.
