Hey all - we built this because we really like buying off craigslist vs dealerships. Its still pretty new but we'd love to know how we could make it better, so any and all comments are much appreciated. Thanks!
pretty good, although for craigslist, there is really no sense in letting someone search within 14 days. anything that's a good deal is gone almost right away I lost out on like a dozen cars before I bought my last one. And that was only because I saw the ad get listed in the previous 5 minutes, and went right away to test drive it. As far as feedback, 1 bug - when you scroll through the makes, it keeps hiding. Espec…
no idea what kind of car you were looking, but my last experience I took 1.5 mo to find a decent one. and then negotiation took another couple weeks. in all that time i was still "searching" craigslist, and I could see the same cars over and over. A few were fast, of course.
ended up getting the car 30% below the KBB value

I make a point of flagging the various companies that occasionally appear here with scheme for violating craiglist TOS. In this instance, all the ads that I tried to click-through to had been removed already - which shows one good reason for Craiglist not allowing this stuff.
my gripe with 90% of car searches. i'm not after one specific car. i'm buying a used car. i have a fixed budget and a some cars that I would avoid. everything else is fair game. craigslist is the only one that get's it correct. 1. put your price. 2. get a bunch of crap you don't like 3. add -crap1 to the search 4. repeat 2 and 3 until you get things you like 5. select a few, call, inspect, buy. limiting by brand/mode…
