    I agree. Could a slick lawyer force the sale for $16? :evilsmile:

    Ya' know, that is one of my CL pet peaves. It gets posted as $16 instead of $16,000 so that it will still show up in search results when you have set filters to only show cars in a certain price range. Searching for a car less that $7000? This will show up in your results anyway. :banghead3:
    There should be a CL rule against it.

    Hubby was clever. For him, it was more important to have you in shape than himself. Maybe, he deliberately flooded the carb, just to get you firm (y)

    That $16 is a trick that people use to include their cars with someone searching "$1 - $1500" on CL, kijijijijijijijiji, and other sources. Believe me, the car is not advertised for $16. So if you are typing in a range of $1 - $2000, this car will pop up, even though it decidedly is nowhere in that range. Craigslist could care less what price you list a vehicle or item for, and they do not enforce any "truth in pricing" laws, if any such exist in that format.

    That's why, if I am looking for cheap cars or trucks and specify a range, I type in $42 - $2500, and that nearly eliminates the kinds of ads we are discussing.

    No, you have zero chance of bringing that successfully to a court and force a sale at sixteen dollars.

    Interesting car. It's wearing a Colorado front plate sequence from 1980 - 1986 or so. Wonder how long its been in Florida?

    I have an Illinois 1994 front plate on my 55 Chevy wagon. Just because I want to. :yahoo:
    Been stopped several times to question the original 1955 Florida rear tag with no mention of the Illinois front tag. Florida only requires the rear tag. I still don't know if the Illinois tag is legal. But it's been nearly 20 years now.:49:

    $16 is rediculous. $1600 way too low. $16,000 rediculous and way too high. Do I hear $8,000?
