Woman learns husband spent £1,300 on Facebook Marketplace and rolls eyes at what arrives

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!
