I have never received so much interest in any car I’ve posted on CL. Broke every record for replies: scams, phone calls, emails by about a hundred, and scam texts, and even non-scam texts.
However, CL being CL, I have actually only shown the car to one living human (and six dead ones), who also showed up without cash -_-
Every other exchange that hasn’t been a scam has been the usual:
“Is it available?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, when I can I look at it?”
“I’m available blah blah blah”
Then silence.
Or:
“Can you tell me what’s wrong with it?”
“Abcdxyz123.”
“Okay I would still like to look at it.’
“Okay, when?”
Silence.
“I have cash in hand I’ll give you x for it right now.”
“Ok.”
Silence.
“I’m buying this car for my wife/daughter/disabled veteran.”
“Ok.”
“So I need to know it’s a good car.”
“It’s a good thousand dollar car.”
“I’m not a flipper or anything.”
“Ok.”
“I’ll give you 900.”
“Ok.”
“My friend will have cash soon.”
“You said you’d bring cash.”
“No, she has the cash, I’ll call you in an hour when she gets here.”
“You said you had cash before the test drive.”
“No, she’ll be here soon though she’s stuck in traffic. I’ll call you in an hour, or just hang out here (in a parking lot) and wait.”
“Yeah sure you just call me [drives home]”
Two hours later:
Via text: “We decided not to purchase your car thank you for your time.”
And as I typed all this out, I just got another email from a misspelled name:
“will u take 8 I need car tonight baf”
A cash offer for a sight-unseen rebadged Taurus at 10pm? I know how I’m going to reply:
“Ok.”

Zoidberg, a sable is nothing. 10 phone calls in a 1.5 hour period for a 2000 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Double Cab 4 banger with a blown head gasket (you had to fill it up every 20 miles, it was that bad). And it was 9:00 PM.

Someone offered you 800 ‘cuz they were bored as fuck?
I would pretend they meant beef and tell them you’ll take 800 + a tenderloin + two flank steaks and see if their CL brains explode inside their skuls.

It took me two weeks to sell my A4, one person offered me less than half of what I was asking, I literally told that person to fuck off.
