Smart Motor Guide?

Does anyone here use smartmotorguide.com to buy or sell? I’ve seen 3 trucks there that I think are worth pursuing and I’ve sent multiple messages. Not a single response.

Is this site valid? Has anyone used this site successfully?

thx

My take is that they are just a list, like Craigslist. You have to contact the actual seller yourself. If the actual seller doesn't respond then it could be a spoof ad. Or maybe it could be like the infamous 2040Parts.com.

Thx, unlike Craigslist there’s only one way to contact people, and that’s through the site. Either the adds are bogus/expired, or the communication doesn’t work.

That sounds just like 2040Parts. Like it's just sitting there hogging bandwidth.

on that site, yes, I’ve tried 3. I’ve also tried several other sites, kloompy.com and a few others. Seems like the vintage car/truck market is littered with fake news.
