I would go with the XL. It has everything you want. Remember don't compromise and now you have found the right vehicle. Let us know when you pick it up.
This!! He's completely on point. You've found what you're looking for. Don't compromise for something that isn't going to be at your standard. Yes 26k is alot more to drop but like everyone has said you will get what you pay for. 84k is nothing on that 2011 XL and it looks to be pretty Clean. Go drive it!! lol

I'm trying to set something up with him for Thursday afternoon. It sucks that I'm working nights this week and its a 4 hour drive for me. Hard to find time to make it down there. He said he would hold it for me until Thursday night.

This seems odd. The gentlemans post for the black XL was removed from craigslist last night. Then I saw he re-uploaded this ad about 7 hours ago but craigslist had it hidden from me?

Research shows that this is from posts being flagged or ghosted? Anyone have any idea what this means or had it happen to them before?

Is this a sketchy deal? Someone messing with him? Craigslist issue? Any need for concern?

New link posted as other one says it was deleted by the author. Then it was posted again 7 hours ago.

Not sure whats going on. I messaged him but no response yet.

I believe ad was flagged again. He responded and said it was still available though. Thoughts?

Did he supply you with a CARFAX? Although you can't rely on them 100%, it is a start. I do agree something's a little fishy. It could also be somebody he pissed off and is flagging his post. I had that happen before when I guy tried to beat me down on price and would I wouldn't sell it to him and he kept flagging my post so I ended up selling it on Auto Trader.

No carfax supplied. The listing is back up and I have heard from him. He doesn't reply very fast. As far as I know the vehicle is still for sale.

Too many red flags for me. Don't rush in to buying one. Finding the right used car is like rescuing a dog, eventually the right one will find you.

Too many red flags on the one I just posted with 150k miles?

Is that too many miles?

If I'm spending that much money on a car with that many miles, I would want to make sure I have the complete service history. Buying any used vehicle can be a crapshoot. It's just knowing what to look for.

Even though a vehicles fluids may look brand new, it may be the first time they've been changed in a long time. Any reputable seller will let you take the vehicle to a mechanic to have it looked over.

If that's close I'd say go look at it. It looks really good. Find out if there are any dealer service records anywhere. Make sure the air conditioned seats work too. :)

Been looking for a long time now and I appreciate all your guy's inputs and thoughts on vehicles. The black one with 150k on it did sell before I could get to it.

I have been working out of town for quite some time now and it's hard for me to car shop.

I came across these today and want your thoughts on them. The black on I can purchase for 31,500 and the white one is still 28,900.

Good deals? Or too high priced? All his vehicles come from the south so they have no rust, according to the description. I would have to verify when I go inspect them at the lot.

They seem a little high but they are very clean looking. Check nada and make your decision.

Call him or go look at them. Take a print out for each if he's not willing to budge on price.
