What Cars Sell Best on Facebook Marketplace? 2,419 Dealer Sales, Ranked
Trucks and SUVs: three of every four units that dealers using autobook.io marked sold, in a snapshot of 2,419 sales from 141 dealers taken September 30, 2026. The Ford F-150 led, sold by 35 different dealers. And the median unit was listed at $32,899 when it sold, a long way from the cheap-car reputation Marketplace has.
Search this question and you get listicles, short videos and AI-written "business" pages. Not one of them has a sale behind it. We have 2,419 of them, because every unit a dealer posts through autobook.io and later marks sold lands in a log, and we publish what that log says.
The live version is our free page on what sells on Facebook Marketplace. It updates nightly, splits the data by state, and lets you sort and filter the rankings yourself. This article is the snapshot, what it shows, and how to read it without fooling yourself.
Where the numbers come from. One row per unit that a dealer using autobook.io marked sold, from an append-only sales log. Sales that were later undone are dropped, and RVs are left out. The price is what the unit was listed at when it was marked sold. A "dealer" is one autobook.io account, a store or a salesperson posting for one, and a model, make or price band only appears once at least 3 different dealers have sold it.
What are the best-selling vehicles on Facebook Marketplace?
The top ten, all time, as of the September 30, 2026 snapshot:
| # | Vehicle | Type | Units sold | Dealers who sold it | Median price at sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ford F-150 | Truck | 133 | 35 | $49,195 |
| 2 | Chevrolet Silverado 1500 | Truck | 82 | 25 | $37,999 |
| 3 | Ford Bronco | SUV | 80 | 14 | $44,250 |
| 4 | Jeep Wrangler | SUV | 70 | 17 | $41,494 |
| 5 | Jeep Grand Cherokee | SUV | 67 | 13 | $40,207 |
| 6 | RAM 1500 | Truck | 58 | 20 | $36,158 |
| 7 | Ford Explorer | SUV | 54 | 12 | $47,510 |
| 8 | Ford Mustang | Coupe | 41 | 12 | $41,999 |
| 9 | Ford F-350 | Truck | 40 | 6 | $80,962 |
| 10 | Ford Expedition | SUV | 35 | 13 | $59,313 |
Six of the ten are Fords, and that's the first thing to be careful with. Look at the fifth column before the fourth. The F-150 was sold by 35 different dealers, the widest spread of any model in the data, so its first place says something about the market. The F-350's 40 units came from 6 dealers, so its place says something about six stores that sell heavy trucks.
Sort the full list by dealers instead of units and the broad sellers show up: the F-150, the Silverado 1500 (25 dealers), the RAM 1500 (20), the Toyota Tacoma (19), the Toyota Camry and the Honda Civic (18 each), and the Jeep Wrangler and Nissan Altima (17 each). If a unit on your board is on that list, dealers all over the country are selling the same thing through the same channel.
Do trucks and SUVs really outsell cars on Marketplace?
Among the units these dealers sold, by a wide margin.
| Vehicle type | Share of units sold, all time | Last 90 days |
|---|---|---|
| SUV | 44.6% | 43.5% |
| Truck | 30.3% | 33.9% |
| Sedan | 11.8% | 8.5% |
| Van | 6.9% | 8.3% |
| Coupe | 2.7% | 2.8% |
| Hatchback | 1.9% | 1.4% |
| Convertible, wagon, other | 1.7% | 1.6% |
SUVs and trucks together are 74.9% of all units, and 77.4% of the last 90 days. Sedans are fewer than one in eight.
Read this as what sold, not as what buyers want in the abstract. What sold is shaped by what these dealers stock, and a Ford store sells trucks because it has trucks. We haven't measured how fast each vehicle type sells, so nothing here says a truck sells faster than a sedan. It says trucks and SUVs are most of what dealers move through this channel.
Body type comes from each unit's VIN decode, which draws on NHTSA's vPIC catalog. For units no longer in inventory, it comes from other units of the same make and model.
Is Facebook Marketplace only good for cheap cars?
The pages that rank for this question mostly agree that it is: under $15,000 is Marketplace's sweet spot, and a $30,000 unit is a hard sell there. The sold data disagrees.
| Price at sale | Share of units, all time | Last 90 days |
|---|---|---|
| Under $10,000 | 6.5% | 3.5% |
| $10,000 to $20,000 | 18.0% | 11.7% |
| $20,000 to $30,000 | 21.5% | 19.0% |
| $30,000 to $40,000 | 16.7% | 18.4% |
| $40,000 to $60,000 | 22.4% | 29.2% |
| $60,000 and up | 14.8% | 18.1% |
54.0% of the units were listed above $30,000 when they sold, and 37.3% above $40,000. Under $10,000 is 6.5%. The median is $32,899 all time and $38,995 over the last 90 days.
Two big-ticket states pull those numbers up, and it's fair to take them out. Washington and Virginia together are 41.5% of all units, at medians near $48,000. In the other twelve states with their own page, the median runs from $16,495 in Ohio to $30,323 in North Carolina, and eight of the twelve sit between $22,000 and $28,000. That's still nowhere near the $15,000 ceiling the folklore sets.
Cheaper units do sell a little faster. From our time-to-sale study, split by asking price and measured from each unit's most recent post:
| Asking price | Units | Median days to sell | Sold within 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $10,000 | 50 | 13.4 | 78.0% |
| $10,000 to $20,000 | 151 | 16.2 | 69.5% |
| $20,000 to $30,000 | 194 | 18.5 | 59.8% |
| $30,000 and up | 406 | 18.9 | 64.8% |
Five and a half days is the whole spread between the cheapest band and the most expensive, and the clock restarts on a repost, so every figure is a floor. Cheap sells a little faster. It just isn't most of what sells.
The likeliest reason is who's selling. A private seller needs a buyer with the cash. A dealer can take a trade, arrange financing and deliver the unit with the paperwork done. So a dealer listing is priced like the dealership it came from, and buyers treat it that way.
What sells in your state?
A state gets its own page once at least 3 dealers there have sold at least 10 units. Fourteen qualified in the snapshot:
| State | Units sold | Dealers | Median price at sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Washington | 523 | 5 | $47,999 |
| Virginia | 482 | 4 | $47,971 |
| Illinois | 290 | 9 | $18,985 |
| Florida | 209 | 15 | $24,588 |
| Texas | 136 | 21 | $27,660 |
| Tennessee | 104 | 5 | $24,999 |
| New Jersey | 89 | 6 | $22,981 |
| Missouri | 88 | 4 | $25,537 |
| Minnesota | 79 | 5 | $21,995 |
| Arizona | 58 | 7 | $24,642 |
| Arkansas | 55 | 3 | $24,124 |
| Georgia | 41 | 7 | $22,699 |
| North Carolina | 37 | 3 | $30,323 |
| Ohio | 22 | 5 | $16,495 |
Texas has the most dealers behind it, 21, and the most different list. Four of its top five are Toyotas, the Camry, Corolla, Tacoma and Tundra, where the national list is led by Ford. Florida's leader is the Nissan Kicks. Illinois looks more like the national list, with the F-150 first and the Chevrolet Equinox and RAM 2500 behind it. See them on the Texas, Florida and Illinois pages.
The numbers under those lists are small. Texas's leader has 7 sales. A state list tells you what's moving for a handful of stores near you, which is useful, and nothing more than that. Washington's 523 units come from 5 dealers and Virginia's 482 from 4, so read those two pages as a few large stores, not as a state market.
How should you read the trends table without fooling yourself?
Four rules, all of which the live page lets you apply:
- The Dealers column beats the Sold column. Who posts a unit matters more than what it is. In our study of 802 sold units, the fastest dealer's median was 4.9 days and the slowest dealer's was 51.8, a gap about eight times wider than every price band combined. The method is in our study of 30,000 listings and 800 sales. A model sold by many dealers survives that noise. A model sold by three might not.
- "Median price" is the listed price when the unit was marked sold. It isn't the out-the-door number or the transaction price. Nobody outside the deal jacket has those.
- All time and the last 90 days are different samples. The 90-day view is 1,467 units from 82 dealers, so one big store moves it more. Washington and Virginia, the two priciest states on the page, are more than half of those 90-day units.
- It counts sales, not Marketplace-sourced sales. Most of these units were posted to Marketplace through autobook.io. A posted unit can still sell to a walk-in, and the dealer marks it sold either way.
How do you use this to decide what to post first?
Everything should be up. The real question is what gets your attention first: a clean first photo, the renew, the price check.
Units that match a broad row, like a Silverado, a Tacoma, a Camry or a Civic, are what buyers are demonstrably buying from dealers on this channel. Get them up first, with a clean first photo; editing that one photo takes a few minutes. Units in a thin row, or in no row at all, need the price to do more of the work. How to price a unit on day one covers the opening number, and when to lower it covers the rest.
Timing matters too. The median unit sells 18.0 days after its most recent post, with 65.2% gone inside 30 days, both floors; the full distribution is in how long it takes to sell a car on Facebook Marketplace. And when tax refunds land, the cheap end is the one that moves, which is covered in which units to post for cash buyers.
The ranking won't post anything for you. autobook.io will: it imports your dealership's inventory from its website, writes an editable description for every unit, and posts in batches of up to 50 from your own profile, in your own browser. It renews listings where Facebook offers it. You choose the units and answer every buyer. Plans start at $99 a month.
What can't this data tell you?
Several things, and they matter as much as the rankings:
- Speed by vehicle type. Not measured, so not claimed.
- Private-party sales. Every unit here was sold by a dealer or a salesperson.
- Marketplace as a whole. This is dealers using autobook.io. Facebook doesn't publish sold data, and neither does anyone else in this market.
- Transaction prices. Only the listed price at the moment of sale.
- Anything after September 30, 2026. This article is a snapshot. The live page is the current version.
