The common scam is the person wants to buy the car sight unseen, wants to send you a cashier's check, and will send a shipper to pick up the vehicle.
When you get the check, oh my, it's written out for several thousand more than the asking price of the car! When you contact the buyer, OOPS, that was a mistake, would you do me a favor and send the surplus on to account X at bank Y, and keep a few hundred for your trouble.
A few days later, the bank calls, and you're on the hook for the several thousand you sent along, and you don't get a dime for your car. If you're lucky the buyer's "shippers" never show up to take the car.
Heck, I had someone try that scam on me with a large pane of glass I was trying to GIVE AWAY in the free section!
If the buyer comes IN PERSON, I would be a bit more willing to trust a cashier's check.
Remember, Craigslist is about LOCAL transactions. If the person is not local and/or not willing to come to you, then it is a scam, period.
