Anything I ve ever put on CL sells in a couple days. Best CL buy..low mile 302 that the guy was selling for 500 - offered him 100 just because he had it for sale for 2 months ( I was following it ) and he accepted. Took the Weiend intake off it and sold it on ebay for 125 the sold his father the 2.3 that I pulled for 50. End result - Free long block that runs awesome and 75 bux.

I LOVE CL...Ive gotten so many deals off of it, not all of them are car related tho. In terms of cars, I got my 87 GT 'vert for $700 but the engine was blown so I got another 5.0 from someone else on CL from a totaled GT for $150, headers and all and then found a third person on CL to swap the old engine in for the new one, for free (in exchange for the blown engine) lol. Hell of a deal, IMO!

Bought my 5.0 over Craigslist and had pretty good luck. Sold my old DD (1996 Cavalier LS sedan), which was listed for less than 24 hours.

I'm a fan.

Craigslist can be good and bad. I have had good luck with it, but I also have a set of rules for it I follow.

I have a good one. Trying to sell a bbk off road h pipe for long tubes. Guy contacts me, we talk, I send pics, agree on price upon inspection.

I drive 20 mins to meet the guy...he brings his whole family in a busted minivan and then tries to guilt trip me into basically giving him the thing for next to nothing because he is unemployed. He even went as far as to say I drove an expensive car and can afford to give it to him for 15 bucks!!!

I was so pissed I just got in car and left.

Oddly enough I've had nearly the exact same thing happen to me.

Posted my old mac off road H pipe for like $100, agreed to sell it to this guy over email for $75 or 80. Drive 20 minutes to meet him, he arrives in a beat to hell '83 mustang and tries to offer me 50 bucks with a straight face. Some people are just unbelievable.
