Honestly I'd be more worried about it from the perspective on the buyer, as they're the one potentially walking around with a big wad of cash. One thing I actually like about Craiglist is that while it might be full or weirdos and losers you can usually weed out most of the real weirdos and losers by email (personally I would never put my phone number up in the ad). If it doesn't feel right, don't respond, they're are plenty of potential good buyers out there and in my experience it's pretty obvious who they are. For test drives, it's fair to ask to see their license and insurance card, and ride along on the test drive. You can also meet in a public place, or at the DMV or bank for the final deal.
I've bought and sold tons of cars and it's usually no big deal (but I don't live in downtown Newark or something either). It might be a stretch to say that most people are totally honest, but they're at least not out to rob you in the direct sense anyway :) If you're really worried, sell it to Carmax, you just have to pay for the convenience and safety with a lower price.
