Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?
Sure enjoy the remark about using the classifieds in the paper. I miss that. I listed my 81 3+3 on FB Marketplace. Bunches of responses each day and I was diligent about responding to each person. About six days in I get a notice saying that my right to advertise was suspended. First...- Fortarel
