Has nothing to do with craigslist but I've had a similar problem with my local ford repair shop several years ago, luckily they went out of business...can't imagine why after my dealings with them.
Me: Hi, I need an electric choke assembly for a 1984 Ford Ranger 4x2, automatic, with air conditioning.
Service Tech: Your ranger came with 4WD and a 5 speed manual transmission.
Me: Umm, it was bought at Suburban Ford in 1984 and came from the factory with 2WD, and an automatic transmission.
Service Tech: That's impossible.
Me: Nevermind I will go to another store to get parts from someone who has more ford experience than a mechanic that supposedly is factory trained.
I never went back to that repair shop, not too long after I heard they were going out of business. Can't imagine why that would have happened. What a bunch of dumb people.
