To me, Craig's list is officially taboo

Let's not forget the Craigslist Killers, at least 3 of those 1st-class POS's.
About 20yrs back, an aquaintance went to look at an old CL AMC down WV/MD way. After they got Him in the barn w/the car, They pulled the door mostly closed, soon He realized there was something up.....They quit responding to His comments & questions, & just stood there between Him & the door, thankfully He had the good sense to bring the .357 with Him. Drew down on 'em & told Them to get away from Him & the F'n door or He'd shoot 'em both, wtf........
Unfortunately, the senior couple that went south (I think FL?) to check out a red 1st gen. Mustang weren't so lucky...or prepared, & lost Their lives...
This is exactly why I don't want to fly places to check out a car because you can't take anything with you for defense. I can take someone else with me but that puts them in danger too. I prefer to drive and have someone to go with me and protection
