New Jersey Man Buys Limousine Off Facebook At Unbelievable Price, Wife's Reaction Wins Internet
A man from New Jersey bought a second-hand limousine for fun from Facebook Marketplace. His wife called it childish, but the family's joy made the quirky purchase go viral When we think of big, luxurious cars, the first image that often comes to mind is that of a limousine. Known for its long frame and lavish interiors, a limousine is usually seen as a symbol of wealth and status. Recently, one such car became the centre of a viral moment, not because of its grandeur, but due to how it was bought. A man named Tom Adam, from New Jersey, United States, spotted an old limousine listed at a surprisingly cheap price on Facebook Marketplace. Without wasting any time, he purchased it for just £1,300 (approximately Rs 1.5 lakh). His spontaneous buy and the joyous aftermath have now gone viral, with millions viewing the heartwarming video online. Tom, 43, had always dreamed of owning a limousine, not for show, but simply for fun. Though the vehicle wasn't in the best shape and needed repairs costing another £1,000 (around Rs 1.1 lakh), he bought it without a second thought. Tom's wife, Avigail Adam, initially thought it was just another odd whim of her husband's. 'I rolled my eyes, thinking this was another childish act of Tom," she admitted. But the moment she saw him grinning ear to ear inside the car, her opinion changed. 'When I stepped inside and saw how happy he was, I couldn't help but smile too. This was his dream, and now it's come true. I've always believed in turning dreams into reality," Avigail added. The couple shared the moment on Instagram, where the video quickly went viral. In the clip, Tom, Avigail, and their four children can be seen laughing and enjoying a ride in the limousine, which the kids were equally thrilled about. The internet loved their quirky purchase. One user commented, 'The limousine is also a family car now!" while another said, 'This is the best use of adult money I've ever seen." Jokes also poured in, with one user writing, 'If my husband has even nine pence left, he'll buy a limousine," while another added, 'When your heart remains young even after you've grown up…" Avigail, in her social media post, confirmed they had spent another £1,000 on repairs, calling it 'a moving living room." However, she warned others, 'If you're planning to get a limousine from Facebook Marketplace, remember, parking it is a nightmare!"

Woman learns husband spent £1,300 on Facebook Marketplace and rolls eyes at what arrives
A purchase made by Tom Adam left his wife rolling her eyes as the 43-year-old splashed out £1,300 on a Facebook Marketplace purchase which Avigail believed was 'one of his shenanigans' A woman discovered her husband had spent more than a grand on Facebook Marketplace. The £1,300 purchase had Avigail rolling her eyes, with Tom Adam, 43, buying something totally unexpected. While initially unconvinced by the purchase, in a now viral clip of the Facebook Marketplace find, Avigail was left laughing after seeing what Tom had bought. The post went on to rack up 15.6million views and more than 325,000 likes. The wild purchase went down a treat with members of the public, who said it was one of the "best uses" of money they had seen. Avigail has seemingly come around to Tom's purchase of a limo. Avigail thankfully saw the funny side of the purchase when it arrived at the couple's property. Tom had spent $1,800 (£1,347) total on the limo, which needed a further $1,000 (£753) worth of repairs. Once up and running though, Avigail could not help but agree the car is suitable for one crucial reason. She said: "I rolled my eyes thinking it's another one of his shenanigans. "He invited me in and I saw him laughing with joy, and I was actually really happy for him. He had a dream to own a limo just for fun and now he does. I'm all about bringing dreams to life." The couple, from New Jersey in the US, have four children, who were all keen to get inside and take it for a spin. Members of the public were full of praise for the purchase, with one person jokingly suggesting a limo is technically a family car. They wrote: "A limo is a family car." Another added: "100% the best use of adult money I've ever seen in a parenting decision." A third shared: "And here I was thinking I wanted a minivan for our next kid. This is so cool." Other commenters are worried their significant other would buy a limo instead of a more conventional family vehicle. One user wrote: "Thousand percent chance my husband would and probably will do this the second he has nine extra cents to spend." Another added: "When that adult money hit, but you're still a kid deep inside." Avigail's post to TikTok reads: "For full transparency, he did invest around one grand for repairs, but still... that's a pretty sweet deal for a driving living room. "But before you swarm Facebook Marketplace for the next available limo, just remember you will also have to park that thing..." She makes a good point – we don't know where we'd even put a limo!
