Not mine etc.

"For sale is my 1987 Chevy Sprint Turbo -3 cylinder turbo charged motor in a sub-compact chevy -After Market Boost Control (set at 8 Psi) -Brand New Radiator and hoses -New brakes (pads and rotors) -Minimal Rust

The car does need a new brake master cylinder and head light assembly, but runs completely fine.

Its a great car for a good price, just needs some work. "

Carzan, touch base with a Moderator for the correct answer, but most folks don't use their real email address. It's usually Dan dot something AT Yowzah dot com

It's to keep the Nigerians at bay. If you want to risk it and put yours up there it's OK, don't volunteer someone else's.

I couldn't find the ad for the Sprint ....

I can't explain the link going to an Acura. If I click on it, it goes to the Sprint. Maybe it sold already and is cached in on my computer still. My wife confirmed that the link went to an Acura when she tried it on her laptop tonight.

Dan, as far as email addresses, I cut and pasted the ad exactly as posted. If THEY didn't want their email or phone number posted, THEY had the choice of posting it or leaving it out.

If these pictures that I hotlinked from the ad aren't a Sprint, let me know. Otherwise, you now have the pictures, the email address and phone number if you want to contact the owner.

That's one way of looking at it.

You're putting this guy's information out there in a venue and opening it to thousands of people he never intended. Maybe it will sell faster, maybe you're doing him a favor. Maybe you're sending him Spam.

If no one else has a concern, maybe it's just my paranoidal government mandated IT security training.

To me, Craigslist is a scammers wet dream. It has gotten so bad, many people state in their ads now they won't respond to emails due to the volume of scammers and spammers. For someone to post their real email address there and not expect issues would be like a guy posting naked pictures of his hot girlfriend on a forum and not expect it to show up on sites worldwide within hours. I have googled for information and found ads deleted from craigslist for months. I just can't get too worked-up about information that has already been publicly posted on the most scammer-trolled site ever and is sure to have been already shared on an international level..

However, I think you're a class-act, Dan and I do respect your opinion and since the ad is no longer up and it is on another site already posted, I have deleted that information and will refrain from posting email addresses again in that form.
