Comments directed toward Truspeed (or Victory) aside, I think we know full well that a "premium" dealer isn't going to flag a 150K car. Just not in their universe. But flagging a post so you've got first shot at it, or as a competitive tactic, is rampant on Craigslist. And until they do something about it, you're either lucky or diligent in finding the "bargains".

Not to be an ***, but "you know" because some guy told you that some other guy told him that he has "done it"?
Truspeed has a great reputation on this board. I'd say that if that's all you have to go on, you should probably edit your post so as to not include their name in your accusation, nor anyone else's for that matter. That is unless you can back it up with a little more than "some guy told me that a guy told him."

From Craigslist:
about > help > flags and community moderation
craigslist provides free and nearly instantaneous self-publishing for tens of millions of user postings each month, subject only to our Terms of Use and other posted guidelines.
Our flagging system allows craigslist users to mark inappropriate postings for speedy removal, while preserving everyone's ability to express themselves freely and in a timely fashion.
By using the flagging feature located at the upper right corner of each post, you can take action if you feel a posting is inappropriate, by clicking on:
* miscategorized - wrong category/site, discusses another ad, otherwise misplaced
* prohibited - violates craigslist Terms of Use or other posted guidelines
* spam/overpost - posted too frequently, in multiple cities/categories, or is too commercial
If a post receives enough negative flags it will automatically be removed (only one flag per person per post is counted).
Posters whose postings are repeatedly flagged are subject to staff review and additional remedial measures.
You can also nominate funny or memorable postings for inclusion in "best of craigslist".
Millions of postings are removed through community flagging each month, and of these we consistently find that 98-99% are in violation of the craigslist terms of use or other posted guidelines.
No moderation system is perfect, and 1-2% of ads removed through flagging are within our terms of use--but without the flagging system, craigslist would quickly become unusable.
If your ad has been flagged off and you'd like help figuring out why, visit our flag help forum and provide the appropriate information about your posting to the helpful volunteers there.
Flagged postings that meet our guidelines and Terms of Use may be reposted, reworded as necessary.
Posted diatribes against flagging tend to get flagged off quickly.
