I'm not making money on this deal, I still had to buy the car. I'm losing money, approximately $3000. If I trade it in to a dealership I'll lose $10,000. At the same time you wont find a loaded '15 GT for under 38k, so it's a mutually beneficial transaction. I lose less and you get more. It's just business. This is why we sell private party. Dealer trade-in's are historically considered a bad deal.

like spam no one vouched for you you never came on and introduced yourself when you gotthe car, didnt go to a sponser shop or meet a member at a bar and shoot the shit. .. you kinda showed up at the doorstep with a pamphlet.. its kinda the equivalent of being a door to door Jehovah witness or vacuum salesmen.
Except I am selling vacuums to a vacuum enthusiast community at a live sales event. I made this post in the "for sale" section. Why on earth someone would visit a for-sale section and then complain about someone selling something is beyond me.

I'd understand if no sales forum existed and I just put this crap up in your general forum. Then it's spam because nobody asked for it and nobody knows me well enough to care. Is my mustang suddenly better if I have a join date from 2012 with 1000 posts? Would it make sense for CL or ebay to block sales from people who have less than 1 year residency at their home address?

If the members of this website have a problem with new people selling things then I recommend you close the sales forum and only allow such listings in your general forum, then you can delete everything posted by first timers so you have a nice limited selection of offers from a few loyal members.
