I want to buy this:

But my dad called the seller and the seller can hardly speak English.  But the seller did say something about the title being in or from Texas or something.  My dad says that's fishy but I don't really think so.  What do you all think?

Craigslist deal leaves two men robbed and pepper-sprayed in West Covina


WEST COVINA - Two men were lured through Craigslist and robbed in West Covina Monday night, authorities said.
Two residents from the San Fernando Valley, 24 and 32, went to an agreed-upon location in the 2600 block of East Valley Boulevard at 9:05 p.m. to buy a car they had found on Craigslist, Lt. Ron Mitchell of the West Covina police said.

Two men, described as in their 30s and Armenian, produced a .45-caliber weapon and demanded the men give them the $3,000 they had agreed upon for the vehicle, police said.

The victims were doused with pepper spray after they gave the men the money, Mitchell said.

The men fled in an older model black Lincoln, which was the vehicle posted on the Web site, Mitchell said.

There have been no similar crimes like this committed in the West Covina area, he said.

You'll need the current title to transfer ownership of the car...so if it's in Texas, then you'd need to wait. 

Personally, I'd keep looking.  There is nothing in the description that speaks to the mechanical condition of the car, and if the guy can't speak english clearly, then getting information out of him might be a problem.

I just recently bought a 2001 Concorde on Craigs List for $2K with 91K Miles.
It looks exactly as this one:

Runs great and beautiful. I'd advise you to be patient and shop around.

be patient. the reason you dont think its a scam is because you want the car so your mind is telling you to ignore the strange things and only focus on the good things.

I bought my 2000 dodge stratus with 140k miles for 1000 dollars and it runs great.

Piece of shit, family owned one for 6 years and it was always having problems. Every time we went to the dealer there were always several of those in the shop as well as ours. Concords are shit.

could be fishy, but doesn't hurt to check it out.  Go with someone who has experience purchasing a car, like maybe your parents.  They should have the knowledge to know what to look for.

Yeah I guess I'll have to keep waiting for a good one to show up but it seems like whenever that happens it's already sold by the time my dad can bring me to check out it.
