How much legal trouble could i get in if I made an app that worked similar to Craigslist and called it Cregslist?

You won't be able to monetize it.

Facebook is already doing marketplace anyways. Good luck in that competition.

Great idea! You're only directly competing with:
Ebay, Craigslist, 5miles, Letgo, offerup, etc.

I understand this, but aside from that would Craigslist be able to take legal action against me for using the name Cregslist for an app that works similar to their website?

of course they could but they probably won't take legal action because they'll never notice such a small time operation.

you'd honestly have better luck just picking a random name like 'boardspace' or something.
