Craigslist Scam for 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX sedan, 1.8L L4 MPI engine, AUTOMATIC swift, ONLY 47,240 Miles $4900
Hello again,
Thank you so much for your prompt response.
Regarding the price, to be honest with you…this was my brother car but he is not…anymore.I don’t want to get rich by its selling, just want to give it to someone who will take good care…….
As I already said in my first email, the vehicle is currently located in UK but still registered in US, so it doesn’t cost you anything since it has a clear US title and no lien.
I can have it shipped from here by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won’t be any additional shipping costs for you. Also I can arrange for a truck to transport it to your home address or you can pick it up from the nearest airport in your area. The shipping takes up to 7 days, depending on your location. The vehicle will arrive with all the papers and documents required for registration and the keys. You’ll get the US clear title and the bill of sale signed by me.
The entire price you have to pay is $4,900. The transaction will be fully under eBay’s surveillance, giving us both security and insurance that nothing will go wrong.
This way you will actually pay for the vehicle after you will receive and test it, because eBay will hold the funds and release it to me only after you accept and confirm the delivery. After the vehicle reaches your address you will have 10 days to inspect the car you will have to inform the eBay Service about the decision to keep it. eBay will forward the payment to me and the transaction is complete. If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it (I’m sure this will not be the case) eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back of the vehicle is be my concern. I consider it’s fair for both of us.
Please take into consideration that I get paid only after you receive the car and make sure everything is exactly as you expected.
If you agree with these terms and you wish to proceed, please send me your full name and the address where you want the vehicle to be delivered and I will initiate the transaction with eBay right away. You will receive all the transaction details from their service.
I would appreciate an answer as soon as possible. Also, feel free to ask me any question you may have.
