Dude I haven't seen anything on craigslist (ever) that I could buy way below kbb and sell for a profit! Or I guess you could project a profit but you'd end up getting the same or less than what you paid for it if you wanted to sell...

 

No Aquil You got to be patient and look on craigslist and send them offers. At first they will be like no Ill keep you in mind or smething and maybe after a weeks some of them acept and 98% dont. You just got to be patien ton doing this and knowing what to buy. I bought all sedans no trucks or anything because this is what I know alot about. my dad knows alot of cars also s he helps me alot too.

 

Sorry Bo im not gay I wouldnt be looking for a 18 year old guy but I would for a 18 yearold girl

 

Yeah but if they couldn't sell the car for what they were trying to sell it what makes you think your going to be able to sell for profit when you add another owner to the cars history (especially bad if you don't own for very long) and not to mention tax, title and plates add some money...

 

I agree with jasonzimbranmuffin I got some amazing deals on Craigslist as well. most people overprice their cars at first, and end up selling it much cheaper especially when they need the money. But its also risky, you could get stuck with a lemon if you don't know what you are doing.

 

But still people know what they have in it...you would generally think they know what they have as well and what it is worth. Anything I've seen that is a good deal is generally that way for a good reason! I haven't found a single Mercury Mountaineer on craigslist to make ANY profit on it. I'm looking for one under 80k miles that I'll be able to buy and get a warranty, tax, title and plates for under 10k...hasn't happened yet...

 

OR IN MY CASE LOOKING FOR A HOT 18 WOMAN LOL

 

lol BO
Well Aquil Here I dont have taxes which is a PLUS++. I bought the maxima on te local newspaper. No on these days look in the paper. So I bought it. The 2002 jetta with 60k he listed it on craigslist for $9900. I offered him $6,500 and after about a month and half he sent me an e-mail if I am still intrested in the car so I said yeah if you wanted $6000 for the car. He said ok(he was leaving to Isreal for good in 2 days so he needed to sell it fast). So when I went and saw the car and was nice, but he never changed the tires or brakes on the car at 60k! So I made some exagerations and told him these might have to be fixed and he said yeah we will talk about the price then. So he said I will let it go for $5200. I said I will do $5,000 today. And as all you know I bought the car for $5,000. Clean carfax, 1 owner title in hand. Look it up on kbb.com 2002 Jetta Gls Turbo 5 speed with 60k with premium sound, leather, sunroof, heated seats. etc. He didnt really know about cars. If you open your eye and know what your doing you can buy some nice cars at cheap prices.

 

Oh my eyes are open...and I do know a lot about cars...me finding someone leaving for Israel needing to get rid of his car is a different story...You must be lucky finding dumb people that don't know what they are talking about! Someday I'll luck out like you! Until than this crap ain't happening out here!

 

I wouldn't say everyone knows cars...most are idiots but they know what the least they'll sell you a car for. There are plenty of dumb people here, they just think their stuff don't stink!

 

other other 2002 Jetta TURBO auto with 37k loaded I bought for $8000 almost a year ago aquil. They were some asian people and probably didnt know the value. The 2004 Infiniti Q45 with 30k I bought for so cheap because her dad died and left the Q45 to them and probably didnt know about the car.
WELLLLLLLLL I GOT M Y HID KIT FOR MY MAXIMA!!!!!! I am getting them installed this tuesday. Both lwo beam and fogs. Cant wait.

 

If you know so much about cars why do you have others still install the hids? J/K!!! Good luck make sure there are some before and after pics!

 

Yeah, Aquil I am very smart at purchasing cars but at mechanical its really not my thing.
