The ones who put $1 as the price for something they actually want $8k for are easier to weed out.

I thought that it drove fine, but I remember the mechanic showed extensive oxidational lightening. Strangely, it drove very poorly from the shop. |

What's with the lettering on the '98 SL's windshield? Auction car? No plates either.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.  |

Here is another 1st gen Civic hybrid. Very little info. If it has lower miles I'd really be interested despite the higher price.

I was wondering why you weren't goin after this one more. I've had pretty weak response rates emailing people on CL. i think some people that list their phone, don't check, or get a lot of spam that they ignore in the email. I don't think I've ever actually sold something on craigslist to a person that first contacted me through email when I included my ph number in the listing.
From the pics the sl looks pretty clean, think I'd definitely look at that one before the 97 sc, and it's a vehicle you could hit your 1200 goal on

Last week was ridiculously busy so I didn't get a chance to check it out. I liked the car but just didn't have time to go look at it.
I just called the guy and got some more info. I'll take a look at it tonight.

I got both the Black Widow and the Turtle through Craigslist, but I never just search blindly.
I always type in the model name, then I filter by "title" and "pics".
You won't get all the spam ads if you click "title". And I never bother calling about anything on C/L that doesn't include a pic (and I also bypass all "stock" pics).
I always call, and text too just in case. If I get an answering machine I always leave a message. If they provide an email address I also email just in case. Any hot item will go quickly in my market, and it pays to be the first to leave a message on somebody's phone.
