2 of the same cars on Craigslist

On Craigslist, I found two of the same cars (same price, mileage, location, etc). Does this mean one is real and one is a scam or did the seller post more than one time? I’ll insert the link below.

Happens on FB Marketplace to. Especially from dealers. Post the same car multiple times. 9/10 times when I see dupes it’s always a dealer, or dealer posing as a private seller.

happens all the time, duplicate postings

you can check bundle duplicates on the left

the scams are normally a very low price on a good car and they want to communicate through a personal email


Thank you, Clemson!

This is common, and annoying, practice on Craigslist. They're just trying to get more hits.


Thank you, Joe!

I’ve seen 10 different ads for the same exact vehicle on 1 single used car website. Multiply that on other different websites.

Unfortunately, you need tons of patience sifting through used car ads, these days.

All the best & don’t forget to hydrate between listings..
