hello again my friends,
I just wanted to share the details on how I go about my search, and I think you guys will get a good laugh ....
So every night I will search all of the sites, cargurus ,autotrader, cars , carfax, and then for facebook market place I search all the major cities and craigslist too.
The problem is I notice only 1 per week on average seems to pop up and I'm referring to an 06 plus model because they upload quite a few 05 and below models everyday. If i was looking for one of those my search would have ended pretty quickly. Hell at this point I'm think about letting someone do that search every night, maybe one of my nieces and giving her a couple bucks lol as I don't have any kids because it's just so discouraging and seems like a waste of time.
And every night I look at the same old inventory and I don;t want to get too deep but psychologically when we as humans go car shopping we are used to going to a car dealership and seeing a sea of cars and a salesman jumping all over us and for the first time it's the other way around with no inventory. It seems weird and as far as having patience, i think patience in this case will pay off, but i think that looking at the same old as inventory every night makes you think why not just give up and get an 04 with low mileage or get and 06 with rust or bad carfax, it makes you want to settle for what ever is available at the moment.
So moving forward I think i'm going to outsource the search and live my life and when the ones pops up ill jump on it, because looking at the same thing every night is driving me nuts.
but i will confess to you guys what hurts me the most, when I first started my search, which was a while back, That very first week they posted two 07 models one with only 72k and the other had 78k one in florida and the othee in texas both clean carfax no accidents and cheap price because they were both private sellers and they did not know what they were sitting on. Well the one in florida sold in 4 days and the one in texas sold in 6 days on a saturday. the reason I did not pull the trigger on neither of these is because I thought that there would be a lot more available and that I could find better ones and looking back now I was not aware of the rareness of these cars.
The last thing that I will share with you guys is this, One major advantage that I have, is that I noticed alot of folks have to wait until the weekend to see a car, but I could take of anytime to make a deal happen. I could have beat those two other buyers if I wanted to, because they had to wait until the weekend to come see it and do the deal. But again I did not know the market of these cars when I first started my search.
Just wanted to share my thoughts....
