1st be honest about the cars condition & only use the masked email as a way to reply to your add. 2nd make sure you take photos of the car from multiple angles interior & exterior. 3rd Cash or Certified funds only. 4th delete add as soon as the car is sold. Good luck!
and insist on a callback phone number with a local area code. Most scams aren't local, so you eliminate a lot of clowns the second you tell them you'll only call back someone within the local area.
4 of my own cars and another 3 cars for family. Not really sure how you can even get scammed selling. Everytime I've sold a car on Craigslist I end up getting more money then I originally list it for. Just till him to include in the description that he will only accept cash. If the buyer is willing to do that then everything should be fine.
He'll get immediate low balls offering like 1/2 of whar he asks. Just ignore those. They must do that to everyone and hope for a desperate junkie.
Apart from the other advice - know and justify your price ( KBB), leave a bit of room to come down, take good pics, and if it doesn't sell you have to repost the next week (or sooner if you change the language enough). Ask for cashiers check or cash and you can't really lose.
My main problem is weeding out shit CL responses from the good ones. Half the respondents can't write an email to save their life.
Good luck

I took a bank check, but knew it was legit, because the buyer
financed the purchase and I was in contact with the bank to
provide info.
For smaller CL sales its cash only
Now that sounds like a scam.
Is there some sort of scam going on there?
Reproduce the title, forge a bill of sale and get the title in their name from another state? Is any of that possible?
