2 Sweet Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I think I am ready to put my Caprice up for sale. Here's all the important info... 1995 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 (police package) 5.7L 350 LT1 V8 139k miles Runs well Trans was rebuilt in June 2015 (yes I have paperwork) Tires have less than 2k miles on them (245's front, 275's rear) Craigslist ad... http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/5479003477.html I want $3000 for the car. The underbody has a lot of rust, there are a lot of dings and scratches, clearcoat peeling on the roof, a small dent in the front fender, rust at the lower lip of the rear quarters. The exhaust sounds like dog shit because the PO replaced the cats with straight pipe and did a lackluster welding job, so the exhaust leaks on both sides. The AC really needs fixed, because leather seats are awful without it, especially with no window tint. Lastly, the car will need front pads and rotors soon, and the brake fluid needs changed (it's very dirty). I haven't done this yet because I have only driven the car a handful of times since last fall. The 9C1 has the same drivetrain/suspension/brakes/etc as the Impala SS. This car has all the good appearance stuff from the SS, and it's the same car with the same components underneath. It has power Bonneville seats (driver's seat is pretty worn). It's all stock, except for Bilstein shocks and a cheap air intake. If you want a cool daily that is extremely cheap and easy to maintain, that also has a ton of room front and back (and in the trunk), and is cheap/easy to mod, this is the car for you. Put a decent exhaust on it and fix the AC leak (probably a new compressor at this point) and you're good to go.

2 Sweet Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I also have paint matched power mirrors that will go with the car to replace the black ones currently on it, and good speakers front and rear (the speakers in it are garbage). On a positive note, the factory radio and CD player still work great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I don't expect anyone from CR to have interest in buying this, so if you want to shit in my thread and criticize the price/car/me or clutter it up with BS posts, go right ahead lol. I just can't believe the fucking people on craigslist. I mean I knew what to expect with craigslist but holy shit, it's a surprise to me that some of these people can figure out how to put their pants on in the morning. "Will you take payments" NO I'm not a bank "Will you trade for my 2001 Elantra and a Hi-Point and a PS3" NO get outta here with that bullshit "Will you wait for me to get my money from my baby momma when I take her to court next month" LOL NO "Do you still have it for sale" YES then no response ever. This happens multiple times daily "It's exactly what I'm looking for, I'll come with cash tonight please call me" PHONE CALL no answer and no response. Of course.

Geeto67 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 It's Craigslist. I'm surprised nobody has offered you pets and/or livestock in trade. It's a nice car, GLWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. The traders crack me up too. The shit that gets offered is hilarious. People that ask me to call them get a simple NO and I tell them email works fine. My absolute favorite is the "it's my (or someone's) birthday can you bring it by for me" replies. I get those all the damn time no matter what I'm selling.

Also, there's a center console in it now. I'll go get a better pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Power seats, comfy, just look a little rough (VERY easy to replace though) http://i.imgur.com/xOXIaRCl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/C0MzXe3l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qmZeng6l.jpg It is a 21 year old cop car from the rust belt, so yes there is rust, which is why the price is negotiable... http://i.imgur.com/38geIhBl.jpg Good tires though! http://i.imgur.com/PeQGpUOl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 So I kept getting BS emails on a daily basis, and FINALLY had someone actually show up last weekend to look at the car. After driving it, they said they wanted it and we agreed on a price of $3200. We shook on it, but then he said "well I'll call you, I gotta see what I can do, I got your number, I'll let you know" and he left without giving me a dime. OK, I'll wait a few days. Well he never called me, so I texted him earlier and never got a response. Of course. Also, I put a new craigslist ad with my phone number on it this time, thinking that only people with serious interest would get in touch with me. Well I was wrong. Some trashy guy called me earlier and got upset that I wouldn't take $800 because "that's all it's worth." About 2 minutes into the conversation I realized he knew absolutely nothing about cars. He said I'm pissing him off because I "think I'm a car dealer." OK, whatever. Fuck off guy. Last but not least, some guy texted me at 3am (who the fuck does that?) then got pissy with me that I wouldn't cater to his bullshit... http://i.imgur.com/XGkgVVDl.png http://i.imgur.com/jHwpdoEl.png Seriously?

Someone was supposed to come see the car at 6 tonight but they are "stuck at work" and I haven't heard back from them about setting another time.

It's beyond ridiculous. I sold a car on craigslist several years ago and it was mildly annoying trying to wade through the bullshit, but not nearly this bad.
