^^^^^ That last one is BELOW average market value. Give or take, a clean CCLB OBS PSD 4x4 5-speed is a minimum $10,000 truck. There may be lots of those trucks to be had cheap down there, but you could drive it up here and make some $$$$.

Only thing with it is 375k miles! With 200k miles around here if they are in good shape they will sell for 12-14k!

I agree with you Brad. Your truck is COMPLETELY redone and better, in my opinion, than it came from the factory. If I had the means I would fly to where you are and buy it so I could enjoy the drive home.
I'm not entirely sure where you live but I live in British Columbia, Canada. It'd make a nice vacation!!

Actually it MIGHT be 375k miles. Or it COULD be 475k miles. Odometer rolls over at 400k on these trucks back to 300k. The lowest I've seen market around here is at least 7k, 4x4 fetches a lot more. A 7.3PSD parts truck will still fetch at least 3.5k. Heck, the engine in it alone is worth just about 2k as long as it can be rebuilt. I guess mine was the exception, I barely paid anything for my truck.

Craigslist - proof that the world has an inexhaustible supply of stupid. Similar thread on a Saturn site now has over 2000 posts, and is pushing a million views.

Brad, with a website like CL, there should be an escalation department, or site admin/supermod you could talk to. Address the problem with them, that one of their mods is being a troll. Just create a new account on a VPN, and I can't remember who makes the firefox addon, but it allows you to convert your real e-mail into something else. Added security, so you still get the E-mail, they just don't know who it is. A little bit of work, but he might just be targeting your E-mail and or IP.

CL Flags aren't done by Mods, they're flagged by regular users, then a mod deletes the posting. Your issue is likely a disgruntled CL user who just flags your stuff every time it comes up. I don't know if there is any way around it or not.

I got flagged one time because I had posted the vehicle for sale in 2 different states. I wasn't told why it had been flagged at the time though. I had to go to the forum for them to tell me why it was flagged.

If the poster has a rant going on in his AD about low ballers, people calling and not showing up, ect, or if he has a lot of words in CAPS or maybe forgot to leave contact information like email or phone number, that will get the AD flagged. It could be a Co-worker or family member that is PO'd at him and is specifically looking for the AD when he posts. There are plenty of other websites that let you post for free, Here are a couple for instance.

Cars for Sale | Used Cars on Oodle Marketplace

Haggle Me | Classic Cars For Sale - Haggle Me

Sell Car FREE - Carsforsale.com - Sell Used Cars, Sell your Car Free!
