Hello again,
I want to tell you that you can't pick up the car in person because it is already stocked at the shipping company Regent in Dublin, Ireland where it is ready to be shipped. The shipping process will start only if you accept their terms. The title comes into in your name and address. I`am the original owner. Let me tell you how we will make this deal:
1.You will have to give me your full name and shipping address to open a transaction record and they will contact you with all the details regarding the payment.
2.You will be contacted by Regent Escrow.
3.You will make a deposit of $2000 .
4.You must put the money on one of Regent's agent for a better security.
5. The shipping process will start after you complete Regent's instructions.
6.You will have 10 days to inspect and test drive the car .
7.If -you want to buy the car you will send the rest of the money and the car will be yours.
The deposit you make will be kept by the Regent agent until you will receive and inspect the car. There is no risk in this deal. If you agree, please e-mail me with the following information in order to get this deal arranged with the third party company Regent and also the shipping ready and I'll give you the tracking# as soon the car it's on its way to you, so you can track it at all times. Mail me asap if you are still very very interested in my car because now I have more buyers still interested in my car.
Thank you for your time !
Jeff

Yes I'm interested. Where are you located? I can swing by and take a look at the car.

Hello,
First of all I wanna tell you that the car is still available and the price of $14,000 includes all the shipping costs and insurance, so you wont have to pay any extra charges. The car looks like new, it has never been scratched or wrecked. It will come with a clear title, bill of sale signed by me, as well as all the papers (including the original manuals and keys) that you'll need to register it under your name. My wife is devastated that we have to sell it but we have financial problems, so we've decided to sell it. I am a serious seller and a fair trader and I prefer to deal only with a serious buyer, if you consider yourself one, please e-mail me back. I will wait for your email to let me know if you are interested in knowing more details about the purchase. E-mail me back if you are interested.
Jeff
