The rules for accessing the classifieds section are 6 months of membership OR 50 posts, so if they are members since 2010 then they don't need any posts to access the classifieds.
As for why you can see posts they've made in the past, but there counter shows 0; this is because posts do not count in all sections. This is explained in the FAQ sticky at the top of this section:

Post Counter Not Working
We have disabled post count tracking in select forums. This will help reduce "post-whoring" and "free posts" from members trying to pump up their post counts.
We also have a 50 post minimum requirement (or 6 months membership) to post a new classified ad in the parts for sale forum. This was done to help reduce the potential of newly-registered scammers taking advantage of our members. Now they will have to post in the technical and racing forums to earn their post count, which may help turn them away.
Forums with disabled post-counting:
Introductions & Greetings
Signature Test Forum
Racer's Lounge
Multimedia Exchange
Street Racing & Kill Stories
All Classifieds Forums
All Regional Forums
Basically, if it isn't a technical forum, the posts do not count in it.
