[quote=Anonymous]We went through the used car buying process last year and saw the same.  Many FB listings aren't people, they are salesmen/dealers who list multiple cars.  They may or may not have a license.  They also may or may not have a brick and mortar location too.

Because of covid, the used car market is almost a nightmare.  Hardly anyone is trading in a solid quality used car.  The only cars on the market are ones with questionable histories.

Some tips:

Make sure the car is local.  DMV.
Make sure car has track record of maintenance and repairs.
Get a CarFax.
Know that CarFax isn't always complete/accurate.  Many things are NOT on a CarFax.
If you buy from a dealer, better to get from a bigger dealer, not one of those small lots.  Bigger dealer is more likely to get access to better cars (via trade in).
If you find a good quality used car that checks all your boxes, be prepared to spend on the high end of the range for that car.
Used cars are still negotiable.

ALWAYS get a pre-purchase inspection.  ALWAYS....and make sure its an independent mechanic of YOUR choosing.

Good luck.  A LOT of crap cars out there.
