A man who bought a cheap 200,000-mile Dodge Charger on Facebook Marketplace soon realized his ‘bargain’ was a huge mistake.

The car quickly started showing serious issues, and what seemed like a great deal turned into a nightmare.

For starters, the lights on the dashboard flashed continuously, which was obviously a massive annoyance.

He even gave the dashboard a few frustrated taps in an attempt to fix the issue, but nothing seemed to work.

The Dodge Charger bought on Facebook Marketplace backfired

In a TikTok video shared by the buyer (aquabluontoktik), you could see multiple lights on the dash flashing continuously.

It was clear the car’s electrical system had failed, and nothing seemed to work properly.

He also mentioned there were overheating issues with the car.

The buyer’s frustration was clear, as he wrote, “First it was overheating, now it’s this” in the video description.

He even humorously asked, “Can someone buy me a new car pls?”

Buying cars on platforms like Facebook Marketplace can be risky.

Unlike a dealership, these platforms don’t guarantee the quality or condition of the car.

Many people have ended up with broken-down cars after trusting private sellers.

Be extra cautious while buying a car online

This isn’t the first time someone has been sold a dud on Facebook Marketplace.

Earlier, a YouTuber bought the cheapest truck on the platform, only to find it was a huge challenge to fix.

Fortunately, as we can see in the video, the 200,000-mile Dodge Charger wasn’t completely dead, so we can only hope some of its issues are fixable.

Cases like this, along with the man who tried to sell a damaged Mercedes-Benz, are a good reminder to be extra cautious – especially when buying something as important as a car.
