Just don't call or email, or they may throw you into the fenced enclosure with the dogs.......ok, I an just guessing here......

 

I've never texted and don't intend to start.

I feel like I have to take a shower after I look at Craigslist ads.
Feels the same way I do after I go to the picked tree lawn garbage flea market on a humid Sunday morning in the summer.

 

Craigslist ads are what they are. They're free, so anyone, which means anyone, can post. But I bought one of my two old cars, my '67 Delta 88, through a craigslist ad. Very responsible seller. No problems at all. Just have to find the wheat amongst all the chaff.

 

I sold my boat and couple other things on Craigslist and have bought a few things off Craigslist but you are right, you must learn to weed through the crazy ones.

 

I think the other thing people need to keep in mind about craigslist ads, ebay, or any other selling medium is that you're not buying the seller, you're buying what he's selling.

I've heard people say that they flatly refuse to use ebay or they flatly refuse to use craigslist because for this or that reason. But that means that you close out to yourself that possible avenue to a good car. The old cars we talk about on here do not grow on trees, and if you shut out whole pipelines to acquiring them, you greatly reduce the chances of finding the car you want.

You deal with the seller as he is, just as you would if you were responding to an old-fashioned newspaper classified ad or stopping at the side of the road because you saw an old car with a For Sale sign in the window. He may be a jerk, but if he's got the car you want, you deal with him and you get past it. In the end, you have the car you want, and you'll never again have any dealings with the guy who sold it to you.
