idosubaru Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Suggestions for buying and shipping parts off craigslist? Just consider it a gamble? Seems solid - good pictures and communication. Could do eBay. Any other suggestions? Dislike sounding like I don't trust him....but forum members borrowing and never returning FSMs and parts, hard to ignore.

biffanyus Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Ive done it a few times. Theres always risk involve. Usually if theres good communication with the person then its usually a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john in KY Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just my experience over the years: 2 chainsaws, one radio, set of 17.5 tires. Used Paypal every time and no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 If you use paypal, worst case you can always file a dispute if they don't send your part. DO NOT PAY AS A GIFT! If you pay as a gift, you can't make a dispute, if they insist you pay as a gift.... They're trying to scam you... Either that or they're worried you'll file a dispute after you get the parts and screw them over... craigslist distrust goes both ways, having been screwed as a buyer and a seller, I get it.

edian727 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 hey gary, i believe we have been e-mailing back and forth. i understand your cautiousness about long distance cl purchase's. thats why i use paypal, it helps secure the deal for both parties involved. I'm here on the forum, and you can call me to chat in person if it makes you feel more comfortable. Im a honest person. we've had a few encounters here on the forum. your name is one of the one's ive seen a lot, and always with accurate knowledge.

idosubaru Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hahaha. Sold! Payment already sent. I've never shipped via craigslist so don't take it personal! I was going to ask if you were a forum member! That's awesome, good to see you here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Nice, an 88 I think? what struts are on it? We are basically all members here too but If you have any XT specific questions subaruxt.com is sometimes helpful or if you want to list your parts for sale there.

edian727 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 titles says 89 but its a MY 88, pobably sold in 88 too. legacy struts in the front with forester hubs(one is a 2nd gen lgt i need to replace), and rear's are loyale wagon. its a little high but im gonna get 90's rear brakes on and a e-brake again before i worry about that. im pretty sure im a member at subaruxt.com theres just not a lot of activity so i dont tend to go there lol. im pretty sure thats where i found to use legacy struts and loyale wagon struts to sit even, and it does.
