Just that he's a douchebag.
If you want a decent car that will last you a while, though, you will probably have to take out a loan. Just my opinion, but it's better to pay $250-300 a month for a solid car than save up 4 grand and buy something that will most likely have a shorter life unless you have a great mechanic in your back pocket.

I most likely will not buy something from someone on craigslist. I am thinking that I will get my tax return, sell my current vehicle and use that to put some money down on a decent vehicle from a dealer. I would like to finally drive something from this millennium
