Seller types.

#1... The Expert

Your vehicle is not in "good condition" for it's age. I don't care what the KBB.com screenshot you posted says.

#2... The Oldster

Pull your damn ad. Don't update it. If you accidentally updated your ad, god help us all. At that point you need to enlist your grandchildren to help you on that damn computer. And stop driving. Please stop driving..

#3... The troll

You are why I want Craigslist to post the physical address of your next of kin. You need to feel pain.

I will have a new to me vehicle within the next week. I may use cash, I'll have cash, but whacking someone with a tree stump isn't out of the question.

I heavily enjoy the expert, who sometimes also posts a screenshot of his own CarFax.

I've seen one that was a picture of a carfax. Not a screenshot, a damn photo of the monitor.

I still the best, BEST, is when they post an ad with a photo, and it looks good, and at end it says, "don't have photos but looks like this one." LIES!

"Stock" pics rock. "Not my truck but looks the same"

I drove 2 hours to look at a car, only for the seller to go.."It HAS AC and a sunroof, but neither have worked in 20 years. "

All original :

As far as I know, I'm the 3rd owner and don't have any documentation except the title and owners manual.

I saw that once too! That was a, "Really!?!" moment.

Of course, the title is a duplicate, and the manual is a downloaded PDF.

I had one older white trash type guy once use black racial slurs while trying to sell me a Honda Accord that he insisted was fine, but had 250k miles and he wouldn't let me look too close at.
