I sell plenty of stuff on CL and I've never listed an email. If you are serious about buying my product, you can use the "reply" button to send me an email. Judging from that initial email I will respond to you with my phone number for you to call me at.

Demanding a local number isn't really justified IMO. Peope don't change phone numbers when they move anymore. Especially if you're military like me. Guess I might be missing out on a few sales, but I just don't care. You're not getting my phone number up front. Just not gonna happen.

Any ad on Craigslist that I will take seriously MUST have a phone number and a local phone number at that. None of the Google out state phone numbers that scammers love to use.

some more saga to this mini. it does NOT run or drive.. owner lives in phoenix and car is stored in warehouse in san diego.. this sure sounds like SCAM to me..   BEWARE

probably why its still on UK plates, its to new to get California plates, its probably the real vehicle without any vin hacking done to it, I would take it and put some AZ plates on it

dvla says the reg number that's on this vehicle is

Vehicle make :AUSTIN Date of first registration :08 November 1984 Year of manufacture :1984 Cylinder capacity (cc) :998cc CO2Emissions :Not available Fuel typeETROL Export marker :Yes Vehicle status :Not taxed Vehicle colour :GREEN

so he's from Rochester NY??  if his mini stayed in the east coast for some time i betya the floor panels are all rusted out... hmm no wonder it's cheap,, too bad to be true afterall...

well. I might be WRONG?? imagine this?/  the owners name is jake. and his phone number is 1.585.773.4555

Looks like my ole 69 Authi other than roll up windows.

( Wink, wink, nod, nod. Bob's your uncle )

Yeah, that's the ticket !

I don't think I'd want to be anywhere near that car in CA...  and I suspect the price reflects that.

Could well be a steal for someone in another state, willing to take the risk that it is the '84 it is plated as.

if you do NOT want to deal with tyrekickers.. you should NOT sell classic minis or parts.. just fact of life.  only takes ONE real buyer per car.. phone number is MUST for me.. I SHOOT tyrekickers.. so kind of thins them out QUICK..

I never put my phone # in cl ads. It saves me tons of time on the phone with tire kickers.

me thinks is total SCAM.. BP or ML type ad.. I contact some one that list ONLY email  on craiglist.org  .I only will look to buy a car /truck from someone that lists there PHONE NUMBER and address..I always put my shop number in my craigslist.org ads..    my pet peave  are ads that ONLY list email  grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Robster,
Do you have any idea about the laws in the state of Kalifornia* regarding registering vehicles? Perhaps the seller wants to "vet" any potential buyers before letting them know who/where he is.

And, I think you have your insults mixed up. I don't believe Spitz ever posted in the "hamburger thread". Perhaps you were directing that towards me for some reason?

*-If you go to the search feature on this site and type in "revin" or "California" you'll have hours of entertaining reading. All of which have been discussed here ad-nauseum.

goes to show that you are not a Craigslist worm, i buy my toys in CL, i know its in and out, scams etc. i can tell right away you belong to the group of people that is mostl likely become a victim of scam, if he is serious in selling, he needs to put his phone number. He needs to make himself accessible to the buyers, he needs people business , people dont need his business.

 

 

 

 

somebody needs to eat more burger... ooops!

It's inSan Diego, the person asks to reply with the "reply" button.  Why would they need to list a phone number or address for any GD idiot to call or drive there without discussing via email first.  You would be a flippin nut bag yourself if you put that detail (address) in an ad.

Good grief....you must be an act

too good to be true, no email ad, no phone numbers, no address??????

good luck if the poster will reply..  but it looks really nice..

Me likie.

Me likie alot, other than those clear euro tail lamps (looks ricer to me)

Might not be too bad at all.

Looks like a great deal for someone......998 I'm guessing

I came across this on craigslist.   could be a deal.   I dont believe the car could ever be registered in california though
