Please someone buy this wagon so I can buy more things for my Discovery.

Is someone else trying to sell a 2.5GT on your Craigslist? Or do you have any enemies who are super petty?

I have no comment on the ad itself yet, but you may be victim of the bandwagon effect. Regular browsers see an ad being flagged, and then again, and then assume there’s a legit reason why and now other people might flag your ad because it had already been flagged before.

If I didn’t already have my Subie, I’d fly to OR and buy yours. Looks super clean!!!

Because your ad is intelligible and there isn’t a thesis paper of semi-related tags.

Edit: Also, daaamn, your car is so clean.

I did see this one for sale.

Maybe they’re upset that I’m not one to say my car is worth so much more bro because of all the legit things I did to it.

Yeah it feels like something is going on. I had it up for two months without issue, then when I went to renew it yesterday it has been giving me all sorts of hell.

Are you saying you accept plasma donations as payment?

2 months? Well that’s another issue.

Yeah, there’s sooooooo many Subaru’s in Portland and no one is looking for a quick automatic legacy. I show up so far down in search results it’s ridiculous. I have only had two people ever come to look at it.

Nice car. Too red for me and also the fact my wife hates wagons and hatches sucks sometimes.

Pro tip - your ad needs more random unrelated tags and mixed caps. Also bad grammar and exclamation points.

Well you may have to resort to a price drop. You don’t want to end up like this guy: https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/550152…

This ad has been reposted, unchanged, for TWO YEARS. No one will ever buy it because it has been up for two years! Snowball effect.

I’m feeling a little bit better about it today. Before I couldn’t get the ad to stay up more than 4 hours with a list of modifications but it’s passed an overnight test now. Hopefully it will continue to be up throughout the weekend when people are cruising on there.

Did you list on appropriate forums and local FB groups? You’d probably have more luck there given the level of modifications this has.

Yep, I try to avoid NASIOC but made an exception in this case. I’m just waiting for the uggggh it’s a legacy and why u mod auto responses.

There’s dedicated legacy forums too where you’re less likely to get crap like that.

there’s a lot of sales on facebook now too, here in chicago we have a very busy subaru WTB/WTT/WTS group, I’d bet you have one too
