Agreed. But for the price you can't even get an ebay intake.

Yeah. Because the awesome deals you find on Craigslist are so often 100% legit.

Well I'm not close to Houston or I would give it a shot.. had a phone number so seems pretty legit to me. Worth a shot if you are local

I'm close to Houston. I'd go check it out. Except I don't need an intake. That's probably beat to hell and missing parts. And I want to remain unrobbed. And unraped. And don't want to have someone follow me home to case my house and steal parts off my car next week.

Other than that, it's probably a great deal.

Well just wanted to share what might be a great deal. I've made many purchases on craigslist and am still here to tell of them. But when you are talking about a place as rough as Houston I guess ya never know.

Marcellus Wallace


Separated at birth? I'm not planning any trips down into any pawn shop basements anytime soon. I avoid anyone named Zed.

But back on the original topic, OP says he has had good luck with Craigslist. I think that most people (including me) have had much the opposite experience. I've had one experience as a buyer and one as a seller and both were bad. I just presume you have to be lucky to find a good deal that is what it appears to be. Maybe I'm just too cynical.

If anyone is interested and picks this up, please report on how the transaction went and the condition of the intake seeing as they used a stock picture and not an actual photo of the item. Seems shady as hell to me. I'd be interested to wee how it turns out.

If someone wants, I would be willing to check it out in person, send pics, then buy it from the craigslister and ship it to them for 100+50 bucks.

Ah, it also mentions that he wants the OEM intake + 100 dollars. I'd guess that anyone switching to this system still has their OEM intake, so that wouldn't be an issue.

I guess if one Were to list a rape option on craigslist then I suppose "coding" it as an Intake is one way to go

Just becareful when you bend over under the hood... dont drop the dip stick!!
