As an "ex" owner, who knows that someday, the GM bus will go and another GMC will find it's way into our lives......I watch Craigslist (the Site Mash) to see what is out there.
Here is my gripe. I look at these ads and many times have no clue as to the geographic location of the rig (and some do not have phone numbers to do "number look-up"). Oh, sure, I am fine with "SFbay" or Anytown, Virginia.....but I am only 63 years old, and maybe someday I will know where "inland empire" is, but I don't now, or "hickory", "chico" (aka "paradise"), "nmi", etc....slang locales are great for your immediate neighborhood, but if I had an ad, I would:
A: include my phone number
B: assume the ad is being read by folks OUTSIDE of the "craiglist" site you put the ad in.
