I've bought and sold about 7 cars in the last 5 years using Craigslist. But recently I'm starting to get nervous. Few weeks ago I went to check out a $1500 1997 conv. van in a not so nice area, although the neighborhood he lived in was very nice though (just the surrounding was bad). He was totally legit and a super nice guy. Didn't buy it due to some problems and smell.<br><br>Now there's another guy asking a really low price. I've been checking Craigslist religiously and something this nice and cheap, gets bought up real fast. But it's still listed. Guy said he was going to text me the address, but haven't heard from him. In a bad area too, based on the ad.<br><br>I wondered if it's a setup to rob you since bringing cash is not that uncommon. It's not a lot, under $2000. But that's a great haul for a robbery. On HBO's show, The Wire, people were contracted to get killed for less than that. So I did a quick search "anyone robbed by car sales scam craigslist" and it came up with a few:<br><br>http://autos.aol.com/article/craigslist-scam-crime-chicago-used-car/<br><br>http://usedcars.about.com/u/ua/avoidingproblems/DealerScam.02.htm<br><br>http://unioncity.patch.com/groups/p...bed-in-craigslist-car-sale-scam-golc2fba5571b<br><br>Not sure why the guy hasn't texted me his address. Wondered if he's coordinating with someone about the different locations to use. I get paranoid a lot.
