Post it on MyMonte.com also, or if you want, send me the info and I will post it there for you. If it wasn't so far away, I'd consider it to do a 5 spd swap into...

A bottom price is there for a reason If it was $100 less than my asking price, I would have snatched him, but $100 less than my bottom price, on the first call? I can do better.

Haro, Craigslist DOES take HTML, so use the '
' and '</p>' commands to make new paragraphs. Put the first p in front of your first sentence and put the last p at the end.

The other thing you can do is post it in the "forum" for the next closest nearby area. That'* how I get to double post on craigslist. Sometimes the filters will pick it up, and sometimes they won't.
I like to use Flint, MI and Detroit, MI (55 miles apart) whenever I sell something. I typically wait one day in between each posting.

Minneapolis is an hour from Mankato, but it does not let me list it in both places. I will just wait the week.

no bites yet :?
the kid that test drove it was a 15-yr old that just got his permit. I still let him drive it since I'm older than 21, it was legal. He really had no idea how to drive, it was rather funny. He asked me what gear to put it in He was to scared to floor it, so he never really saw the DOHC in action. Halfway thru the testdrive we started talking price. I told him I could do $1300 today. He said he didn't have that much right now. I said I would take a deposit if he wanted me to hold it. He said he didnt have ANY money. I was like, "oh". Then he said he was supposed to get $500 from his mom, but he doesnt think he will get it anymore, since he had to go to jail for skateboarding and fines... <insert rolling eyes here> I gave up on him after that.
The other guy that originally called has not called back.
I parked it at a local gas station so that everyone that drive by will see it, and I also made a new craigslist ad, with LOTS of pics

Do I need to lower the price for some cheap asses? or should I leave it at 1500 OBO? I honestly think its worth more than $1500

didn't i see that you had the carpet cleaned in it? or are those pics with the clean carpet?
I think you should leave it at 1,500 OBO. seems like a fair price to me. if it sits too long for your taste then you can start takin those lower offers...
