Could possibly get a Google voice number with a local number and link it with your cell.

Win - Win = you get the local number and the people on craigslist are getting a temp number showing up on their caller ID.

Goolge Voice

I am not aware of any other tools besides Craigslist

 

You have PM!

 

Just check autotrader and filter for only "private sellers." Same with cars.com as well

 

I see a 1995 Lexus ES300 w/ 104,930 miles for $4900. Looks fairly clean in the picture. There you have it.

Thanks for the links. I have utilized Cars.com and Autotrader as well, but 90% of their listings are dealer listings. I'm just wondering if there is some sort of online classified for major PHX area newspapers. Anyway, thanks.

 

Thanks. I didn't know such a tool is available. I'll try it out. Yea, it may be that my number isn't local and folks are feeling suspiciouo

Edit: I really have to say thanks a bunch for this idea. I guess people were just skeptical of my phone number and didn't want to reply. I've just tried using my Google number and getting more replies. Thanks!!!

 

Yeah the out of state area code turns people away a lot of times. Glad you're getting results.

 

My parents have a 98 ES300 with 36k miles that they were trying to sell to me for around $5k, but it's not the most pristine vehicle cosmetically. I said no because I prefer my Accord that has 100k miles but looks pristine. Anyway my folks are out of the country for the next few months so I can't do anything about it at the moment. Good luck finding something though!

 

+1 for auto trader!
I found a nice Tacoma DD on there that was at a used car lot in west phoenix!

Good luck with your search
