Like others, I've dealt with too many Craigslist flakes and wouldn't have held the car for the 7:30 guy either.
I bought a BMW off Craigslist last year where the guy listed it on a Saturday after my bank had already closed. I gave him a personal check for 10% of the purchase price and asked him to hold it for one week as I was going out of town for a work conference. It worked out because it gave time for the check to clear and for him to get a SMOG cert. I told him if I flaked, he could keep the deposit and in return, he refused higher offers while I was out of town.
