Craigslist: The Latest Fad in Used Car Sales
Craigslist has revolutionized the way we find jobs, rent an apartment, and buy and sell a whole range of goods, including used cars. This simple but powerful website lets you post your car's picture, description, and price, and in Los Angeles, more than a thousand people take advantage of this free service every day. Though this huge selection is great for buyers, sellers will have to work hard to get their car noticed amid the competition.
Though Craigslist was created with private parties in mind, it no longer presents a level playing field. You and your used car aren't up against your neighbors or other average consumers. Now, professional dealerships are getting in on the action, and they'll use their vast resources to create snazzy, exciting postings for readers to see. If you don't have clear photos of your vehicle, its history and mileage count, and its service records, many readers will skip right over you.
Don't Risk Losing Your Car on Craigslist
More worrying, Craigslist presents a very modern problem. It has also become home to con artists who take advantage of the helpful spirit of the site. Criminals on Craigslist especially like to target big-money transactions, such as apartment sublets or used car sales.
Whether you're buying or selling on Craigslist, you aren't safe from these crooks. The scammer may "buy" your car with a counterfeit cashier's check that looks so real, your bank may not recognize it's a fake. But when the check fails to clear, you'll be held responsible for the money. Meanwhile, your car and the thief will be long gone.
