Filtering scams

Craigslist should find a way to filter out dealers and brokers from the private owner section of cars and trucks. In this economy, when looking for a car, nearly every ad is a dealer or broker ad. Fairly easy to detect a dealer or broker ad, just by the language used in the ad, but a time waster for me. I don’t want to buy from a used car dealer, or from someone who has bought a defective car from a dealer or auction. . I want to buy from a “private owner”, as the title intends. It’s not difficult to figure this out, in most cases, what kind of seller you are dealing with. But, it wastes time, and money, for someone who can’t tell the difference. The “Dealer” section is supposed to be for legitimate dealers who have to abide by state and federal laws. When they pose as “private sellers”, all bets are off.

    Information is power. Craigslist tries to promote freedom by policing only what it feels is necessary. Clever crap flies.
