Ever window shop for cars on Craigslist...

...and find a smoking hot deal on a great car, and then kick yourself for looking in the first place because you're not at a place in your life where you can get another car...

Case in point: http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/car/122826819.html

Someone please go check out this car. If it sucks, tell me so I can feel better

Like whoa!!! Nice! I'd be skeptic if I saw that price and that mileage!

I go on CL everyday to window shop. I have sold 2 cars, bought 1 car and got 2 jobs through Craig.

Yep Craigslist r00ls. I have bought 4 cars and sold 7 on there. Now currently shopping for my next car. I want that CGM STi but can't figure out how to justify it just yet. Damn.

I sold my old Integra through Craigslist and bought my 2.5RS sedan back in 2002 for a pretty good deal. I was shopping around for WRX or a nice GF wagon though. I'm thinking about ditching the sedan and joining the wagon club.

Still thinking about getting a wagon, dammit BAIC Wagon Clique. =)

I'm still pretty attached to my RS at the moment though, but still window shopping for future reference.

I've been looking for about 2 weeks for a car on there. Nothing in my price range is peaking my interest as of yet.

If you're using CraigsList be careful! There are some pretty messed up and crooked people out there. If you buy a car make sure you don't pay till its delivered! People will use any opportunity to take your money and give you nothing for it. Watch out guys!
