    Are there really that many people out there taken in by this guy, even with all of the crap readily available online? A quick google search returns all sorts of negative responses.

    CL should add a "Known Scammer" option to their flag list - or something.

    I think you can make a CL "ad" that says "Anything from WMC is a scam. He sells salvaged title Subarus. And he is a poor mechanic. Search Google for more info. This guy has been doing this for a long time."

    When I see those kind of ads I usually don't pay them much mind. Not to mention that they sink to the bottom very quickly.

    I just feel a little wrong flagging for "spam", but I guess it's better than that guy getting to scam another person.

    i've always though it'd be fun to have a group of us head down there to check out a car, and then point out every little things that off or wrong

    fist off, what does WMC stand for, and what is the history that you guys know so much about that i am missing.

    because i went and checked http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ctd/870033923.html this car out and drove it and everything, he gladly gave me the VIN

    what shady activity did i not see?

    I've seen their ads now for the last few months for sure because i've been on CL and search "subaru" everyday a few times a day. (looking for new winter/DD car)(finally found one:)) His ads are easy to spot because the Location is usually always "SAINT PAUL" and the cars and product is always underpriced and he usually has a really cheezy ad, and lastly it always says "ask for david".

    I'm curious does he deal with other cars or just Subaru?? Because if he does then there should be other of his ads on CL, but i never see them. I usually flag a few of his because i don't want someone to get scammed.

    Wow. I've seen his work on Subarus, I'd be afraid for my life in a WMC 'unsalvaged' Lotus Elise.
