Fortunately, New Yorkers don't have a bad rep that people stereo type.

What we have today are a bunch of snowflakes that get offended at every stupid thing and need to have their egos stroked or they pout.

He did but unfortunately, he isn't alone. In fact, those who can actually speak decent English are the minority.

Actually if he gets that much for it, we're all better off

Maybe, maybe not. How am I better off if he gets $100K unless I am selling? But wait, what happens when I buy? Only thing I can see is that instead of bragging that I have a $10K car, I can tell the boys I have a $14.5K car. If I am moving into a neighborhood, you bet I want the market rate as low as possible so I pay less taxes. But when I sell, I want the market rate to be as high as possible. It's a push.

Illiterate and crude, what a wonderful combination to have.

I can understand the frustration of dealing with Craigslist buyers. I have had a few wacky things happen to me while selling a car on there. Too many tire kickers out there who want something for nothing.

everybody wants a deal, and most dream of a steal, the proverbial barn find that was had for much of nothing. For me the catch is a wonderful thing but it's the thrill of the hunt that keeps me going.

So sell it to a dealership. Oh wait, they charge money and don't do it for free. Sucks, doesn't it? They give you $5k,sell it for $7k and THEY get to deal with the idiots. Tough choices. Question is what is the LOTE?

Another option that I have been having a lot of luck with lately is Facebook marketplace. You can get a great idea of who you are dealing with there.
