I just got off the phone with David Kohn, a mechanic from Boone, North Carolina, who used a bunch of brilliant home-brew methods to turn a Cadillac Seville into a flatbed car-hauler. Here’s how he concocted this genius bit of automotive glory.
Recently, we told the tale of a man who achieved a lifelong dream of buying a Maserati, only to have it break again... again, and again, forever, causing him to wonder whether he’d be able to feed his children or keep the lights on. But a kind soul on the internet came to the rescue with a simple fix.
In an effort to simplify his life and find adventure, Rick Kretschmer from upstate New York moved west after college, and bought a ridiculous custom Geo Metro camper, which he lived in for over a year. Now the car is for sale because the 24-year-old needs a kitchen in his new home: a 1996 Dodge Ram. So if you need an…
Thanks to America’s 25-year import ban, and the principles of math, we are finally beginning to see some of the cooler 1990s Japanese cars here in the states. Honda Beats, Suzuki Cappuccinos, right-drive MR2, and ubiquitous Nissan Skylines. But it turns out the law has some unintended consequences too: the Mitsuokas…
Craigslist is a tricky place. Some people seem honest about a vehicle’s condition, others seem to be typing up things that are just too good to be true. But rarely are Craigslist car ads so captivating, and so truthful, that you’ll sit through 11 paragraphs of someone’s misery without getting bored. This was one of…
Selling a car privately can be a royal pain. With all of the dumb questions and low ballers it’s no wonder so many people just trade their old ride to the dealership. But if you have resorted to essentially yelling at your potential buyers, maybe private sales is not for you.
“Light water damage” reads the headline just above a picture of a Kia Sedona (labeled “Sorento”) up to its headlights in flood water. In what is among the saddest Craigslist ads I’ve ever laid eyes upon, the owner is apparently selling the car straight from the flooded streets of Houston.
It’s not too late to get eclipse glasses, but don’t expect to find any in stores. We’ve seen listings on local sale websites like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, though, so you could still snatch up a pair if you act fast.
The 1969 Chevy Impala is a gem and, if I owned one, I wouldn’t have the slightest intention of letting someone drive it without me around, save maybe for my mother. For whatever reason, a Michigan man felt differently and, while trying to sell the car to a prospective buyer on Craigslist, let the individual take it…
It’s a summer Friday afternoon and I’m the mood to play a game. A poster on Craigslist needs help identifying a car and he’s offering a cash reward to the person who can do it. Money, people! There’s money in this!
A man in Des Moines, Washington allegedly lured in potential buyers with a Craigslist ad for a 2003 Toyota Echo, got them to pay cash, and then left them out in the cold empty handed. Luckily, according to King5 News, police staged a sting operation to take the him down; it didn’t end so well for the Echo. Or him.
Sometimes this sad, sad world doesn’t give us the cars we really want. And while most people just sit there and cry to the unjust car gods, one man decided to break out the welder and become a car god himself.
For the better part of a decade, Craigslist has been my go-to source for all questionable automotive purchases. It has served me well for years (I haven’t died once!), but now—even though I remain obsessed with the List-O De La Craig—Facebook Marketplace has become primary junker search site. Here’s why.
Here, check it: this is a 1996 Honda Civic that someone made into a “limo” and wants $1,000 for on Craigslist (ad saved in case it gets removed).
Going pro usually doesn’t involve scouring Craigslist, but when Peter Olivier read Bill Caswell’s tale of racing a $500 Craigslist beater against professional rally teams, he figured he could do the same on two wheels. Olivier’s $1,600 Craigslist bike held up through all six Pro Supermoto races in 2016, putting him on…
Over the weekend, an ad popped up on Craigslist, as they often do, of a man looking to sell his Saturn. That in itself isn’t terribly remarkable. It’s the scene that he’s leaving behind that piqued my interest.
Ride-hailing giant Uber has agreed to pay $20 million to settle allegations from the Federal Trade Commission that it exaggerated how much drivers could earn on its website and through Craigslist job postings.
If you’re a casual Craigslister looking to get ahold of a very interesting and good automobile, what terms can you type into the search bar to cut out all the bullshit—and guarantee only awesomeness?
When I moved into my current apartment about two years ago, I noticed the junkyard next door had a limousine. The driver-side window was missing, and the car’s exterior resembled what you’d expect if you imagined a limo beat to shit. It slightly resembled the one above, which is currently for sale on Craigslist.
If you could picture in your head a Jeep designed by a 12 year-old, that image in your noggin would be this: a chopped 2002 Grand Cherokee adorned with more Autozone chrome bits than is legal in some countries. Proceed through this article with caution.
