I have attached at this email some pictures of the car. As I’ve told you at this moment I am in Great Falls, Montana in a military base getting ready for Afghanistan. This means that I do a special training program and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls whenever I want. The shipping can’t be a problem because I can do it at no cost for you. You will receive the car along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, full service records and more …Because it is a large transaction we will complete the deal only by using an authorized third party like eBay, using their Business Purchase Protection Program.The payment will be handled by eBay and you will benefit of 10 days inspection time period and the option to accept or reject the car on my expense. If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address. I will forward your info and they will notify you about our deal.
Hope to hear from you soon
Thanks

Ok. I am interested in buying the SUV … but have questions. Through ebay, or any way, do I pay up before seeing the car? I want to be sure that the car is in good conditions before paying. How would you make the car get here? Could we do something like have the car arrive here, and once I check it (20 min inspection) just make sure it is running and all, I will deposit through either ebay or whatever method we use. That’s my question about the ebay protection program, would the car be here before I pay? Or do I pay, see the car and get my money back if I decide to reject the car? And if I do pay before having the car here, who holds the money? .. ebay? I just want to make sure the car is in good conditions before purchasing. By the pictures, I am indeed inlove with it, it looks perfect and intact, but would need to check motor, engine, etc. Know what I mean?

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 10 days for inspection. 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.

Thanks

It will be shipped by plane with US Air Military Cargo. They will get it to the nearest airport in your area and then it will be trucked forward to your home address. It will take around 4-5 days until it will be delivered to your home address.

Thanks

****And then I screwed up and gave my Home address, name and last name. And in return got this response.
