    Can Craigslist be set up to automatically scan and notify you when something pops up?

    I don't really know, I don't think so. I just used the term "popped-up" rather loosely. It was just recently posted right before I got on.

    It would be nice to have that capability, though.

    I looked at this GS about 2 weeks ago. It came from Seattle area(Memory Lane Motors) 6 years ago. It is a Fremont built car. Originally white with black painted top. Now all red. Appears to be numbers matching. Needs some work, but not bad for the asking price. Owner(Bill Grimm) is a straight up guy.

    Check out the site in my sig. No auto-notifications (but I could add that feature), but you can search as much as you want.

    Nice job: www.buickpartspage.com . I think you have a wee bit more time on your hands than I do. But, I am thankful for all your hard work.

    I looked at that car about 2 weeks ago. Drove it. It's a pretty nice car, solid driver. He was honest in pointing out the bondo on the lower quarter and into the trunk. Bubbling on passenger side rear fender, paint pretty nice, but up close its a little amatuerish. It still shines though. Car fired right up and ran nice. Numbers do match. He seemed firm on the price. I think its an tough market in which to be firm on price. Didn't make an offer, but a nice driver.

    Also there are paint runs on the passenger front fender and two deep scrapes on the driver side rear fender. Horn, wipers do not work. Turn signal stalk is ready to fall off. Windshield has a bulls eye on the driver's side. Tires will need to be replaced due to age cracking. Steering wheel cracked(common).
    So you looked at the GS at the same time I did. Seems odd that the owner did not even clean up the car - inch of dust on the outside, interior dirty, trunk full of junk:Dou:
    Yes, it does drive nice.

    From pics he sent me car looks like a pretty nice driver . Didn't get a chance to speak with him but after your guys postings I'd pass .

    Sounds like this one in Oregan too . Bondo around rear window , cheap paint , replaced truck pan , etc . Crappy pics but could see that much .
