Since it was founded in 1995, Craigslist has become one of the most popular online classified websites in the country. Users can search for jobs, find an apartment, or buy and sell vehicles. Craigslist offers a unique car buying market that is beneficial to both buyers and sellers; buyers can buy directly from a person and avoid the dealership markup, while sellers have access to a large network of potential customers. Buying a car directly from a person rather than a dealership is a great way to save money, but navigating the Craigslist car listing market can be tricky. Check out these nine tips for buying a car on Craigslist.
Shopping Tips:

Will asked “Is there anything wrong with adding a certain level of diversification? Maybe split up your capital across 3-5 different companies in different industries? Isn’t diversification considered the only free lunch? I am not talking about a basket of 20 stocks. But doesn’t some diversification make sense? I just think that you can do everything right and still have an unforeseen event sink your battle ship. Like a natural disaster that wipes out your company.
