What if the buyer gets paid and decides they don’t want to give you the title? If I can’t go home with the title right after paying, I don’t pay. At the least, use PayPal or something, where you might be able to get a refund if they don’t go through with things.

You almost never need to worry about the gun enthusiasts. They’re like car guys, happy to share their enthusiasm and usually the nicest people you’ll ever know. (There are some bad eggs though, just like in every group).

I’ve had nothing but good luck with CL. But I do all my transactions in public places, like retail center parking lots.

Ha. Ha. Ha.... Ebay’s worse than CL. I’ve never had an issue with CL, yet people misrepresent everything on ebay. It’s easier to say “fuck you” and leave when you find out that the “perfectly running” bike has electrical problems and is leaking gasoline on craigslist than it is on eBay where they’ll try to claim that…

Don’t bring cash during the first meet. It makes it easier to walk away from the deal, and easier to negotiate. Once a deal is agreed upon and you feel like you won’t be robbed, go to a bank/atm and get the cash.

As is everything in the world.

Out of curiosity, do we really know that craigslist is unsafe? It’s sort of a headline grabber like Uber is. People get sexually assaulted in regular cabs every day, yet every time it happens in an Uber car, it’s suddenly because uber.

Concealed Carry Weapons. Hard for them to kill you if they are dead or wounded first. Its not a perfect solution but its a good place to start.

Plenty of early Vipers can be found for under $30k. Nothing will break as many necks. Sure you could have a clean C5 Z06, or an STI, or an M5 V10..but Viper.

Cell phones duh. Who changes their # everytime they move? Phone #s reveal no geographic information anymore except where the user lived 15 years ago.

I’m guessing it was actually a faulty turbo

Seriously?! Fiesta ST is HS? The SCCA is really a joke. They put in way too much effort to make sure every single performance car has it’s own class. Totally going to alienate people who want to just go out and race their regular cars. I mean...the Mazda 3 was the go-to HS car before now. And what’s so special about a…

With the moving of the Fiesta ST into HS, there really isn’t a class for slow cars anymore. I would support a new “joker” class for entries like 70s Caddys and the like.

“So when someone calls my office, the first question I ask is, ‘Did you buy the car new?’ If they say “No” to that I ask, ‘Did it come with a warranty?’ Many people respond to that with an ‘I don’t know.’”

Why did your keys leave your pocket? How did they ever end up on the roof? My fob goes in my pocket when I leave the house and then comes out when I get home at the end of the day.

oooo, a 6-legged horse

No one will buy the car without a test drive

Yes.

I don’t see why not. That’s how I bought my stock WRX. That’s right people, stock WRX’s are valuable.

apparently you aren’t familiar with the word “usually.”
