Would recommend staying away from Craigslist as much as possible. I use it on a very rare occasion, and mostly if I want to give something away. Too many people on that site just looking to exploit someone/something. About a year ago I was giving away a dog kennel since I put in a fence and didn't need it anymore. Within about an hour, I had at least 70 people volunteer to take it. Of course there were various scenarios people came up with as well to get it Like wanting me to hold it 30 days until they could get it, or some other silliness. With all those people, one guy bothered to tell me about his dog, why he needed it, and even shared a photo of his doggy. Invited him over the next day and gave it to him. Point is, gotta sort through too many crooks/scam artists to get to the people who are sincere.
IMO, the best way to go about getting a decent car is to check the auto trader sites that include the Carfax. You can usually view the accident history and service records right online. No accidents and regular service, then worth checking out the car. I know you said you just want a body, but may be more cost effective just to trade up. Also, prime season for buying used cars will be in about another month or two because of taxes, so lots will usually be more willing to deal. Also good to hit them at the end of the month. Car dealer associates usually have quotas, so if the month is about over you many have someone desperate to sell so they can get a bonus.
If all else fells, GTA.
