Ever since my jeep was crushed by the tree a few weeks ago, I have been looking for a replacement. Since it is an older car it doesn’t make any sense for me to go to car dealers and pay double so I have been combing craigslist. Last night I was successful in finding one that will work, I can’t help but say there are a few frustrating things with craigslist that made it harder to find the car I wanted. First, I get that many who post get slammed with junk email and scam attempts so they have put some safeguards in place. These make communication sometimes impossible. I email someone that I am interested, I get no response. I even texted and called one, no response. Is the car sold? Then take down the ad. I don’t know if the person is getting the email, or it is going to junk or they spelled it wrong so it goes nowhere. Do you not want to sell me your car? Even if it has a phone number I don’t get call backs. Do you not know how to remove the ad? read the email you got with the instructions, it isn’t hard. Good news is someone called me back, they were reasonable and we got the job done! It isn’t that hard, oh and I wasn’t robbed, beaten or taken advantage of so, for the most part, it was a good experience. If you list something, just have the courtesy of following up when you are done.
