Is that a ski rack on the trunk?


Is it just me or does the background look much more New England like than California?

Seems odd that the car was also posted at the same time under the Fresno area, with different mileage (89,666), and price ($7,400); not to mention the fact that it is a 1972. Buyer be careful.

"1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass • Raleigh, NC • February 24, 2015 @ 9:47 am"















... But I'm sure the Craigslist ad is completely legit.

I agree with you.

I thought maybe since that ad is from NC, it was a NC plate, but the NC plate has the state's name in red, and the stickers on the top corners instead of the bottom corners.
The background looks more like RI, too.

They could be cross posting the ad across the country to get attention and more potential buyers. But usually they state in the ad where the car is located.
