And for those who dont know,,,,,,,,,,Body and paintwork are something that goes on INSIDE a shop. Not in a pep boys parking-lot or your driveway.

I agree craigslist is a great resource if your an informed buyer and careful seller. I have been very successful with it
This guy was just an idiot. Why anyone would go this route on a 2010 is a bigger mystery it shows just plain ignorance and cheapness. As the saying goes "you get what you pay for"

I sold a car once, took the money, handed the title over...told the buyer I needed to go inside and get a screw driver to remove my license plates...He took off, never registered the car, and ran a few speed cameras.
Bought a car once, guy had a lien on the car...no problem right, happens all the time. He was suppose to get the paperwork from his bank ASAP but each day was an excuse or he simply wouldn't answer his phone. I finally spoke with his bank directly and they promised to ship the title paperwork over in a day or two. Yeah, a day or two turned into two weeks. I took the damn bus for a month while I had a car with no tags sitting in driveway that I bought in cash.
Bought a bed frame for our guest room. It was from West Elm which I really like. Since I didn't have a truck, I had to make arrangements with a friend. The seller lived 45 minutes away so it was not exactly down the street. The seller was pressuring me to show up one night because apparently she had to move. So I make my friend drive me there with his pick up...and I call her...no answer, knock on the door, no answer. Yeah, you see where this is going. So a few days later, I get a call from her...surprise. No apology, just another demanding request that she needs this bed out and that "she has been holding it for me" and that she has had other callers. I was like wtf, bish you are crazy. So we made arrangements to meet half way. The frame was in good condition and she handed me a bag full of hardware. Needless to say, half of the hardware was not in the bag when I was trying to put it together.
Got burned on concert tickets too once. Pretty embarrassing when they won't let you in a show and pull you to the side and you're answering questions from a state police officer.
I know in most of these situations, I could have been smarter. My suggestion is to only meet sellers from craigslist in front of police stations. If they aren't willing to meet you in front of one, chances are...they are a crook.
For now on I'm only going to buy things that are new. Typically used cars, furniture, etc are just someone elses problem.

At least you got ur stuff LOL. I be concern about concert tickets too, usually when I go to concert, there tons of people selling out on the street, and thinking they are fakes. That why I usually go direct to buy concert tickets. Sometimes there are consequences when you buy things that are used and cheap. Just gotta make it work.

Well,...I used a mobile body shop service found on Craigslist to repair a 5in long crack located on the bottom of the front bumper on my wifes CLK. guys did a very good job. took them about 1 1/2 to complete and it looks new. as long as the damage is minor I see no problem using them, better then having my car down for a week at the bodyshop
