Default VIN means nothing...

these clowns grab legit VIN's from other online ads and create these CL posts for cheap. Had this happen to a friend who was trying to sell his car.

Default Got it, but I also have no desire to own a TV again - 2.5 years without thank Gawd.

Funny thing is i didn't even watch it much at all, just can't stand all the crap on there.

Between excellent local community radio, NPR, a few magazines and news/event sites on the web I actually feel MUCH more EVENLY informed and current.

Plus AW keeps me up to date on who is a noob and who has the best *I-Tard* stuff these days.

Default Ah, haha hahah got this reply: He's trying pretty hard.

Maybe i should tell him *I* will set up the payment and he can ship me the car.

---------->

I will have the car shipped from UK by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won't be any additional shipping costs. Also I will arrange for a truck to transport the car to your home address or, if you like, you can pick it up from the nearest airport in your area. The shipping will take 6-8 days, depending on your location.Shipping will be door to door,to your home address,somebody must be home when the car arrives to sign for the reception.The car will arrive with all the papers and documents required for registration and the keys. The clear title and the bill of sale will be already signed by me.

The payment will be done through eBay.You will send the money to eBay and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will notify me to proceed with the shipping. I will ship the car, you will receive it and you will have 5 days for inspection, both the car and the paperwork and the option to accept or reject the car.The inspection time period will begin as soon as you sign for receiving the car at your requested address.During all this time eBay will hold the money into a trust account.So, this is not a blind transaction,you can see the car before decided to buy it.If you are satisfied with the car and decide to keep it you inform eBay about this and they will release the money to me. If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back the car will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for the both of us.Please take in to consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car and make sure everything is as agreed.

If you agree with these terms and you have the money, send me your full name and the address where you want the car to be delivered to and I will initiate the transaction with eBay. You will receive all the transaction details from them.

I will appreciate an answer as soon as possible.

Thank you

Paul
