I also set up a Google voice number to go to my phone so that I wouldn't have to give out my real number.

Also, there are more obvious signs that someone is a scammer than an out of state area code. Just do a quick google search on tips on selling things on craigslist. Insist on only accepting cash. I imagine that this would still hold true even for high ticket items. If they have a problem with this then they might be a scammer. If they are sketchy about delivery/pickup they might be a scammer.

You are being a bit stupid about this thing. Always do research before you act. In addition to other things do a little research into how the current scams work so that you can recognize the signs. That way you don't accuse people of being a scammer for plausibly legitimate reasons and scaring away potential sales. People are always going to low ball you. It's part of the nature of the site. Be prepared to negotiate, say no if necessary, or accept low offers if you are in a hurry to move something quickly.

5k is actually pretty reasonable for a high mileage sequoia.

They go for less than the 3rd gen 4runners.

I'm basing the price on NADA resale and loan value.

Loan value doesn't mean shite when selling a car. Someone isn't going to pay more than your piece of shite is worth because you are upside down on your loan.

Like:"Hey I'm Tom from Breaux Bridge but have a Florida number cause I recently moved here. Would you consider taking $5000 for the Sequoia?"

Basically, try not to text like a fricking Nigerian or a bot. Is this too much to ask?


Why should he have to explain his area code to you? I have a 954 and a 205 area code yet live in a different state...

This is how you make a proper ad for Craigslist.

Take my post count and divide by 20. That number is higher than OP's IQ.

I didn't even crack a smile.

1. You are the most UNfunny mf'er that's ever posted.

2.How is asking if you'll take $5k cash a scam? He would have to hand you CASH genius
