There's a strict code to follow when it comes to craigslist advertising. Pretty much do the opposite of what makes sense and you're guaranteed a sale.

So what are people using to search multiple Craigslist sites? It's a pain trying to hit different cities to looks for stuff, but I can't find any decent sites that crawl different listings. Everything I've found looks terrible is difficult to use. Hoping some goons have better sources.

Also, there is the Google trick where you go to Advanced Search and then put "craigslist.org" in the Domain box

I personally assume that whenever it's just a shot of the side, the front, rear or a particular area, paired with "clean!" or "great shape!" or "looks great!" that the side not being shown is completely mauled.

Its even more fun when they actually man up and admit that "theres some slight damage to the left front" and every single shot is from the right rear. Just makes my curiousity burn stronger.

Not craigslist, but a friend of mine sent me a link on NASIOC for a Mitsubishi Evo 1 GSR for sale in seattle with washington plates.

Of course my first thought was "How the gently caress is that registered in washington?", and looking at the thread a few other people had the same question. Strangely enough, he keeps ignoring all of the questions about the title, but the license plate number is clearly visible in the pictures so that got passed along to some people who might be able to get me some more information about. Looking forward to seeing how shady the title is on this car......

Do you really... have to wonder?

This really is the kind of project that is worthy of a full article, photo spread, and owner interview because I would really love the most detailed explanation I could get as to why this thing even exists.

He mentions twice that the A/C needs freon as if to drive home the point that this is literally the only thing wrong with the car. No pictures of the interior of the cab which is what I guess would be the whole reason behind this endeavor. Also, it's a vehicle that drives so great and could be a DD but you better come pick it up yourself because it's as is, where is. :wtf:

Also, how does the title on that vehicle work? It's titled as an International because it has an International cab haphazardly welded in the middle of a completely different car? It that right?

I am pretty certain you should apply for a new vin if you are to the point where you are sold except for worrying about registering the thing.

That was my first thought, but from the little I have heard back, looks like it has been registered as 3 different cars, one being a 2002 lancer. I have no idea how they convinced someone that was true, but someone gave it a plate.

Thats an oldsmobile alero front end. The front and back back are from 2 seperate (well, badge engineered) cars. May just be the front bodywork from the alero though.

Rust, vacuum leaks (both engine and auxiliary), non-functioning air conditioning, rotten heater core. Bet on the ATF never being changed, making the transmission a time bomb.

And the star is crooked.
