Hmmm.....I must've been lucky, thus far.
My '87 MC LS/CL (daily driver since 2003) was on AutoTrader.
And, unlike some of the stuff on Craigslist, my 1979 Caprice Classic sedan
(winter daily driver starting this winter) was on CL....

On autotrader it was likely a scam. Found lots of those on there.

Brian,
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=p&car_id=275311200
This car is calling to me... (just found it... was reading the latest
issue of Winding Road where they claim an '07 is the best sport sedan
at $30K http://magazine.windingroad.com/issue/54/ )
I still think I need a truck, but the more I over-analyze the more I
see that 99% of my driving is short drives: taking the boys to school,
trips to the Post Office / UPS store, etc. In the three and half
years I have owned the Volvo I've only put 24K miles on it... maybe
26K counting when the speedo wasn't functional (the first replacement
differential). That's 7,500 miles a year... that would indicate ANY
car I use will be lightly used at best. Granted if we buy a mega cab
truck it will be used for all trips... but I doubt that would add more
than another 2,000 miles. Our Infiniti G35 only has 55K: 11K/year,
which is low considering my wife used to travel a lot for work -
25K/year was normal.
I don't "need" a CTS-V, but I'd love to have one. Is it worth the
extra $ to get an '06+? (LS2, better differential). I don't know
enough about CTS-Vs.
I was toying with the idea of a Subaru WRX wagon. Utility of a wagon
plus potentially better MPG (not that I'm spending that much on fuel
with so few miles - but the Volvo barely gets 16 MPG in town). I'm
leery of a small car in Atlanta though...
