If you decide to buy a car through them have the car thoroughly checked out by a mechanic. I'm a frequent watcher of Judge Judy and The People's Court and have seen quite a few people suing and being sued after buying cars and the real problem seems to stem from not having the car thoroughly checked out and also not realizing the sale of a used car is AS IS, no warranty. Also check out the lemon law concerning used cars in your state in the event you have future problems. I’ve visited craigslist several times just to check out the site.

We did not end up buying ours there but it was cool to explore. I recently looked at it for the first time. we were looking for bunkbeds for our girls and decided to check out Craigs list.

I actually found my current job and my last job on Craig's List. I've never bought anything from anyone on Craig's List, but I have sold a pair of concert tickets via an ad that I posted.

I have bought and sold several items and have had very positive experiences. I do worry about safety so I never meet people alone or have them pick items up when I'm alone. :heart1: I love Craigs List!

Firstly, I never used this, but, it sounds as if it would be a good way to buy a used car. It's called CarMax. There's 5 (I think) locations in L.A. area (there's one in Burbank by me), the commercials say all areas of the car are put through a computer system for a guaranteed reliable car, they'll buy your old car without you buying one of theirs, & they use prices that don't involve negotiating. Saw they have an online buying site, carmax.com, so, you can request whatever kind of car you wish & what features you want on it, & find out which location has one like it. To me, this sounds like a better way to look for your daughter's car. Like others, I wouldn't feel comfortable with buying a car at Craig's List. Patricia A.

My dh has worked for a car rental for 24 years. There is no way we would ever buy a car that had been used as a rental. The abuse and um, things he has seen over the years and not just by the customers. We just bought a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned. It was an 07 with only 3000 mi. And since it was pre-owned we got a way better warranty than with a new vehicle. Good Luck! I have never visited CL…but have heard about it.
