Hi,
Thank you for your interest in buying my car. Let me tell you a few words about the car.It’s a 2004 Acura TL, in perfect condition, with no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, special marks whatsoever, never been involved in any accidents. The interior looks great (NO SMOKING). It has 72,500 miles . It has a clear title ready to be signed and notarized on your name.The price is not negotiable , $2,730.00 is my last price.I sell the car at this price because I cannot enjoy it due to my job(I work as a dealer on a cruise ship) and I’m a single woman and I have nobody close who can use it.
All documents, including owner’s manual, clear title and a bill of sale on your name will be provided along with the car.Also about payment and shipping I will use only eBay vehicle protection program so we can both be protected.I just need your full name and address so i can open a case.(with no further obligation or fees).

Wow! I am so glad that I looked into this before I got scammed. I just got a reply from a person I was going to buy a loader from…Here is her response…
“Thank you for your interest in buying my tractor. It’s a 2004 John Deere 4310, in perfect condition, never been involved in any accidents. It has a clear title, ready to be signed and notarized on your name. The total price is $ 4200 US. I sell the tractor at this price because I just finished the divorce with my husband. About the payment and shipping process I will use only eBay Vehicle Protection Program so we can both be protected. If you are interested in buying my tractor I need your full name and address so i can continue the transaction (with no further obligation or fees).”
Very similiar, isn’t it? Hmmm…
