Alex you need an mt10 mate
I would happily watch the full podcast
The amount of scammers on there now is so insane.
No Sanji from Birmingham always has 25 gems for sale for an excellent price and he only want a £500 deposit
You'd almost think someone imported a bunch of scammers.
That’s so true they say they always want you to post it then need your email so they can transfer you the money 😮😂
Yep. Absolutely CBA sifting through the shite, my time is more valuable than saving a few quid on the cheapest bargain out there.
Is this still available?
You guys need to release these podcast videos in full format, fantastic content guys!
I am one of the folks responsible for building the volvo pimpmobile when i worked at emerald
Its a take on the ausitn powers goldmember time machine
We drove it across france to monaco and back as part of the bangers for ben banger rally last year
It wasnt all plain sailing though 😅😅
Its still owned by emerald and is still on site
I have shared video to the top dog at emerald would be good to see you buy it alex!
haha, amazing! Small world. Let me know ;)
Its terrible but brilliant at the same time, nice job lol.
I have to say, I was tempted by the 2019 BMW M5 for £5000 that was on Marketplace. Seemed legit! 🤣
I live in the States and I can affirm Facebook marketplace is an amazing place to find a car. Due in part to the fact that everyone can sell everything. I bought an '08 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 5 speed manual for $1,200 because the previous owner saw the oil pressure light pop on and knew nothing about cars. The car sells here for about $5,000 at a dealership. All I had to do was replace a $25 oil pressure sensor
it's a fantastic place to find "mechanic's specials" that you can quickly flip and make a few bucks. or just find a really good car for really cheap, just because of that one stupid sensor or something. my friend got a 2011 sentra for 1000 dollars because it needed spark plugs. that's it. to have a shop do it, its like 700 dollars just in labor because you have to take the intake off. well, he popped out his wrench kit and had it all banged out in an hour, little thing runs like a top
@@ghomerhust i changed the sensor when I changed the oil. Took longer waiting on the oil to finish draining than it did to fix the car. I drive the thing daily. No issues whatsoever. It's easy to get burned but also easy to get a bargain if you know what you're doing
Dude I bought my e46 m3 for 8k back in 2020 off of Facebook because the owner was rich and just wanted a project car while he was waiting for his new project car
Unless you're in the Midwest and then everything listed is a rusty pile of shit priced at 5-10k.
Buying from Facebook Marketplace is the best because I can check people's profiles and see videos of them limiter bashing their "never abused" car around ASDA roundabouts! 🤣
I do remember my mate being a twat in his fiesta years ago in Sainsbury’s car park… memories..
Fb marketplace is wild. The scammers are off the charts. Can usually spot a mile off. Everything is like £83 or they will say my son will collect, what’s your email and I’ll send payment, email comes in saying it’s been paid and they will expect you to send the item based on that.
Well done mate, can’t wait to see it completed! M2 is amazing as well
"You can find the car you never knew you wanted"
I had some (ex) friends pose as me to a seller, and they bought a 90 miata I was going to buy that day from under me... I learned about the existence of the Mk1 MR2 that night because of Facebook suggesting it as a "similar search", still upset about that Miata, but the MR2 became a dream car of mine instantly, and now I have one (with a blown motor...)
It´s great listening to you guys. This has a cosiness to it. The fact that this is a video adds to that.
That 'pimp-mobile' is just awesome. It dosen't just whisper class it shouts out loud ''I've got class and good taste!'
I agree about the snowplough grill, maybe replace it with a gold plated, diamond encrusted radiator (like one from a house) and a tasteful massive rear spoiler. Class, sublety and moving perfection.
And the price is 6969 😂
Cheers. You guys must have had plenty of laughs. I bet Bentley are taking notes and holding meetings........

Will you start to upload the full video podcast to Spotify and other platforms? I normally prefer to watch podcasts then just listen. Great work to Alex and team. Keep the great content coming guys.
id sooner just have the whole podcast on youtube tbh!
@@owenwakefield5438 Same tbh. I use YT more than any other so it makes sense to have the full podcast here.
Yes please, I love watching podcasts rather than listening
Please upload the full podcast so I can watch them
Yeah, be good to see what they’re on about. Hence why I’m watching this. To see the pimp mobile
Love the work alex
Got my white landrover disco 2 v8 2000 model on FB marketplace a couple of months ago. 1 owner since new. 60k miles, garaged since new and full landrover history. It even has the new car smell. I’m so happy with it. The wife not so much as she wanted a 7 seat X5
I bought a 1992 J VW Jetta MK2 GX Wolfsberg edition on marketplace one, went to buy it in Wrexham from East Anglia, paid 2k for it, bought it and drove it back in the pouring rain and it didn't miss a beat. Bonus the sunroof didn't leak.
The limo was a car that was made and used for a car dealer charity event.
There was a few other cars that was pimped out too.
Enjoying the podcast so far but can we get the whole thing on youtube please? I feel like a lot would be missing with this only in audio form.
Would love to see you guys do a video on scammers and try to catch them out/name and shame some of them.
yeah would make a good episode for sure!
Not sure its worth the potential for danger or police attention.
Wouldn't be much point, a lot of the scammers on marketplace are either hacked accounts or newly created fake profiles that are frequently being removed and new ones being created. Most likely by the time they put a video out there will be a new load of them lol
Can you please, please post the whole podcast video. After listening to the podcast and watching these videos, the video versions are much better!
Buy the limo please 😂
Love having a fun podcast to listen to again! You have to buy that pimp volvo!
Scammers are definitely rife. It was lovely to meet you all at shedfest this year! Even if I forgot Tom Lenthals name right in front of him 🤣🤣
I fell into the "Suggested List" Trap.
Was looking for a R56 Cooper S.
Up popped an E46 330i manual saloon, 20mins down the road.
Ended up buying it two days later.
Had some good cars and some very bad cars from Facebook market place 😂 but it’s all part of the fun! Great seeing you guys at shed fest thou had an awesome time. Are you going to post a video of any of the day?
I listened too all this podcast the first day it came out excellent podcast so when is the next one? 😊
Was literally just listening to this on the podcast 😂👍🏻
I haven’t been on Facebook for over 3 years but I do miss marketplace. I don’t miss scrolling looking at shit I don’t need, but I do miss picking up bargains. I’m currently looking for a shit box car as well and fb marketplace is the top farm for those 👌
I bought my 2007 Mazda3 with only 75k miles and in great nick for only £1k and other than the odd drop link//brake cable needing replacing from wear and tear/corrosion, it has served me so well. More options available too than Autotrader etc. Feel like Autotrader is slowly becoming the overpriced and non-1st choice for people now.
Mazda 3s are the best for reliability, my family has an 05 and it only failed one MOT on standard breakables. Other than that its never caused any aggravation. Id always recommend mazda for anyone looking for a good reliable car, you made a great choice, they are even ULEZ exempt.
That purple limo is from emerald located in Wednesbury, Walsall. It's an acquired taste 😂
I was able to sell my car in a month on marketplace and received the amount I wanted because it was a fair price. But I’ve had one of my motorcycles on marketplace for nearly a year trying to fund my college classes and every inquiry I receive is about maintenance and price and then complete silence. Or it’s people saying “I’ll have a guy come pick it up and pay you” lmao. Marketplace, it’s so tiresome…
Last car and still currently using. Was cloned and got tickets for driving wrong way down a bus road from the other side of London. Luckily got it over turned as I had roof bar's online from day one. Did all the checks and was sound. But the scammers use it as you stated.
Is that limo from a old unaired Top Gear episode!!
The grill on the pimpy Volvo limo looks like grampa's fireplace!
I love asking for the price of the objects in the background on Market place, like how much for the dog in the background mate 😂😂
Looking for a first car and saw a 2007 vw polo for £1500 ( rlly good in the NI) guy told me there was a brand new mot and only a few scrapes,when I got there the fella selling the car wasn’t even there it was one of his workers, he lied and the car failed mot and abaout a quarter of the car was painted with a brush, moral of the story, ALWAYS go see the car before you send any money
Hahahahaa lads great video!!
We own the purple pimp limo!!
We need to sell it and donate any proceeds to charity.
Is that a cheeky little B5 in the background? I swear, if it's an S4 I'm going to get pretty excited
Yep Audi s4 Avant he did a video with @dadcars on it
The limo at Emerald is up the road from me 😂
Its like going to TK Maxx , there are some bargains if you're prepared to sift through the shit (and scammers) 😂
Tight dress rabbit hole gets me to too Alex 🤣
i saw that purple volvo in dover once… finishing his roadtrip
Should make a video on k11 micra
Can you please buy the pimp mobile and make a video on it 🤣🤣🤣🙈
You guys should do like a Max power car challenge
The purple limo is a take on the Austin Powers pimp time machine limo.
i wish i culd watch the full Podcast, maybe after all the small uploads are gone they will publish the Vid version of the pod?, Great POD Anyways !!
In regards to asking for deposit for anything selling, I sell alot on FB marketplace ( have 4.8 stars out of 5 ) and send around the country alot. You would be surprised how many people give $$ up front for stuff.
That Volvo 960 limo - they killed mah boy!
Release these on full content please, the comments have spoken. job done, old out yer and
I actually seen the purple limo forsale on gumtree a week ago me and my friend had a right good laugh over it 😂😂
Damn n blast! Can't find 'the pimp mobile video on youtube'. Wanted to have a butchers at it.
Haven't got FB, might have to just for the cars
A day late BUT: Even if you go look at it in person be careful because people will rob you. Make sure to be weary and bring a friend with you or at least tell others where you're going.
There are so many scammers on facebook though. It's becoming ridiculous.
You need the Purple Limo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you watch the full podcast somewhere?
I’ve bought a couple of cars off Facebook marketplace. Always massively below market value. But you do have to be stupidly careful about the scans
I think marketplace is awesome I have had great experiences personally
probably just luck but it can be alright if you happen to be fortunate
I bought some tyres from them, but couldn´t use your code because automatically does discount when you buy 4, quiet happy with some accelera 651 on my e30 touring
my stolen BMW 328 story that i sent to the car throttle podcast (with mike brewer) came from FB market place.
What do you right at Facebook marketplace to search cars you buy
Do that show with the pimp mobile, and call it Pimped-by-Ride 😎👌🏻
Taylor’s mini is like Trig’s broom 😂 (one for the older fans)
It brings out the worst in people so many stupid questions!
Where can i get Full Video? Seperate Channel?
I thought the thumbnail was just some silly photo editing, didn’t expect that thing to actually exist 😂
Finding a genuine add on marketplace is getting ridiculous. Example, Dorris who looks to be in her 70s has 12 4x4s, 4 mercs 10 BMWs, several motorhomes and boats for sale......alway click on seller profile. I kind of given looking on there to be honest. Faceache don't appear to do any basic checks before allowing vehicles to be sold by any random. Very common to the same car being sold in all 4 corners of the UK. Where it used stand out a mile as a scam (far too cheap) now harder to filter out as they price them fairly normally in a lot of cases
Will a video version of these podcasts be released on the channel? 😁
Market place is brilliant once you have filtered all the rubbish out, biggest down side apart from the scammers are the £1234 items then the person wants way over the odds. Also what’s with Harvey Webbs roof fin infront of the toolbox?
If they dont ask for a deposit, they ask for you to email them and its being sold on behalf of aome one else
We need that volvo!!!!!
Send the pimpmobile guys a message saying you are Autoalex and you offer them 2K in order to get it in shape for a video. RUclips NEEEDS this pink beauty
@EmeraldHouseofCars How's the deal with @Autoalexv2 going ? Bargaining much ? (Also, the shirts are inluded with the car, right ?)
Who’s is the banger roof fin?
Consider releasing the full, un-edited podcast here?
I know loads who would have it on for a drive or similar.
Once found my mates car for sale on ebay so we contacted the bloke 😅
Anyone remember the cross section old 90’s vauxhall in red that was for sale for years from a museum? Weird
The Astra cut in half to show people the innerworkings of a car? Not that weird just very 90s.
This podcast is very very enteraining...
The gaming setup fella has definitely been told to sell it by his mrs but he doesn’t want to 😂😂
so many sammers on facebook great work you guys your epic
Pimp challenge please!!! 🤩
Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥
Agreed
@@cooperchester2198Appreciate you, keep it up!😎👍🏼
What about CARS AND BIDS!
all my cars part from one from fb i got a Astra SRI Xpack 1.9 CTDI 150BHP already mapped rears tinted and and had new turbo only 2 years ago loads spent on it for £500 bargain
My Facebook in Portugal has just started limiting the amount of posts you can so I'll have to work out how to pay for it now😢
only a 30 second delay from RUclips notifications
Managed to grab my Cupra for £700 last year
Fair to say they fetch some money now 😅
70% adverts on marketplace is a scam these days 😢
Giveaway phrase "no liens or encumbrances". Wtf lol
Good advice for ANYTHING on FB market these days. Someone tried scamming me for an s22 at £180 😂 nah mate 😂
I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed that I guessed the Volvo limo would cost 7k.
Please give me good advice! I am trying to buy a car during 2 weeks already and nobody wants to show their cars to my mechanic. They say that they prefer to show their cars to their mechanics with me. Do you think it is a scam? It feels like it is.
Hi alex and Taylor and Rory
Rory invisible? 😂
I have a few reliant robins for sale
Y’all have to buy the limo.
Expose scammers on marketplace
Please be on google podcast!!!
I think you guys have to get that limo. It's in such bad taste, but it's also quite cool as a result. I think Snoop Dogg would approve.
I can't use FB marketplace because I'm banned from FB for some reason. Every time I try to create an account it's instantly banned with no reason given. No idea why. ☹️
My experience is thst its full of scammers
