Hello,
I am glad to hear that you are interested about my 2004 Land Rover Freelander 2.0 Td4. The car is in perfect conditions without any scratches, damages or other mechanical problems. The interior is in like new condition and has never been smoked in. I live in Portugal and about the shipping taxes you don’t have to worry because I will pay for it. The vehicle is registered in England and comes with all registration documents, all original keys, owner’s manual and full maintenance records.
I took care of it like it was my own baby and now is in the same condition as it was when I bought it – even better!
I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate.
Thank you,
Cynthia

Hi Caroline,
The price for the car is with shipping included because I work in army and I have a voucher to ship free with Lufthansa Airplane Cargo. will take 72 hours until you will have it in your nearest International Airport or in 5 working days you will have it at your door.
The deal will happen through eBay, they are acting like a third party in this deal. The payment will be managed by Ebay and they will keep the money until you receive the vehicle and test it and see that is like I described to you. In this way, we are both 100% covered during the steps of this transaction. Please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car.
In order for us to go to the next level, I will need you to provide me your full name and exact address, so I can notify ebay that you are selected as my buyer. After I get in touch with them, they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.
Regards,
Cynthia

Hi,
Thanks for replying…
Am I to assume that the vehicle is actually in Portugal?
I am very interested in it and am surprised it has not been sold already, as this is exactally what I have been looking for.
I would obviously be very reluctant to part with any money without actually seeing the car, so how do you propose this would work?
I could make arrangements with my Bank to release the money once it arrives in the UK and I am happy that there are no problems with it. Not that I am disputing what you say.
May I ask why you are selling it, the price also seems quite low for the year and mileage.
I hope you understand my concerns but that aside I am very interested.
Kent Regards
Caroline
MY FINAL EMAIL…..
Cynthia,
Surely the road tax wouldnt be suitable for the UK
Can I ask, why does the Gum Tree advert say that the car is in North London?
Also, I carried out a vehicle check and there is no record of export.
I am still rather jittery about the price being so low and makes me wonder if there is something wrong with it or it is a scam, surely there would be a record of the export.
My Cousin does not live far from you, perhaps he could come and have a look at it.
Also. it concerns me that the money is going direct to the Agents personal Bank Account and not a company.
Before making this transfer tomorrow, I want to be certain that this is all above board.
If you really are Cynthia, then I apologise and I am sure you understand.
Regards
Caroline
