Official Craigslist Find Thread

I always find things on craigslist that seem like good deals and not scams so I figure we could have a thread where we could put up some of our finds...

2 of mine from today.

240sx con un LS1
http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/821173114.html

MKiv Supra @ best offer
http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/821166321.html

BE CAREFUL with craigslist, always deal in person w/ no shipping

How is BS a scam? That doesn't mean he will accept $5,500 for it.....

BTW I bought my car off of craigslist and it is the cleanest DSM around trust me. Car has been nothing but good to me.

I'm not saying they're scams, i actually think theyre legit, i'm just saying to be careful when you use craiglist because there are a lot of scams.

93 dodge stealth r/t tt

iTrader: (0)
my craigslist find from mebbe 2 months ago:

purchase cost: $1250
title, taxes, fees etc: $172
flatbed towing to my shop: $150
93 dodge stealth twin turbo: priceless!

alright, seriously not priceless but still pretty pleased with the whole situation

found the car on craigslist, got into negotiations last week and purchased it this morning. kid i purchased it from stated he purchased the vehicle with bad compression on 2 out of 3 cylinders on the front bank. he broke down the motor, put main bearings and rings in it and rebuilt. states the timing is good and vehicle has spark and fuel but does not run. timing on front bank appears good but i didn't dig into it at all yet.

i'm thinking when he did the timing on it he didn't set the crankshaft position sensor plate behind the crank sprocket, but i'll know more as i dig into it over the next week or so. so many possibilities...

at any rate, car is missing ac compressor, alternator, ps pump and intake box. paint is pretty thrashed on the front bumper, hood and rear gate and the rear quarters are both dented. many things are disconnected, including hydraulic clutch line, exhaust, intercooler piping and sensors but everything else appears present, trans went into every gear and interior is ok.

i basically purchased it to use as a parts car donor for my other 93. the "bottom end rebuild" makes me a little leery of getting this one running and i am going to need parts for my classic stealth over the next couple decades as parts become more and more rare... altho it may only be a grand or less in parts to get this one running, including me rebuilding the bottom end i just don't see it being worthwhile, and as i said i'm going to need a parts car...

well on to the pictures

Now read it again Eclipse. He wants to see people post up good deals they've found on craigslist. Reading owns you.


Captain you have touched on what has become an obsession for my girlfriends father and I. In a year and a half I've bought dirtbikes, motorcycles, a set of stock wrx wheels, sold an 05 sti hoodscoop, sold my 77 Beetle, Picked up a Buell, sold the Buell and bought my 66 Beetle. It's a great place to buy but I will admit I hate selling. You get like 30 "interested" people and out of that maybe 2 are really able to buy lol.
