Hi my name is *****, I called you earlier about the car you have for sale on Craigslist. I’m definitely serious about buying a vehicle now, tranny went out on my truck, renting a car right now, getting expensive, so need to move on new car ASAP. If you could give me some more info, and the earliest time I could look at it, I’d appreciate it Thanks, Lara Benson To Me

Thank you for contacting me about my 2003 Honda Accord. The car is in great shape with 89,899k mileage, it’s automatic with V6. I’m the first owner, it was never been involved in accidents and has clear title.
I am selling it for $1,500 because my husband died 1 month ago (he had a heart attack) and brings me bad memories. Along with my daughter we decided to sell the house and moved to my brother in Washington, trying to start a new life.
I want to use eBay services, so if you’re interested in purchasing the car just reply me your full name, full address and phone number, so I can notify eBay. Once that is done, they will contact you in the next 24 hours to explain the entire procedure.
Thanks!

Lara,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter. I am interested in the car, and I’m not trying to rush in any way, but my truck recently went out of service on me, and I am currently renting a car, and need to purchase a vehicle right away, (rental is costing me a fortune). Is the car still here in TN? Below is all my contact info that you requested.
Thank you,
Lara Benson To Me

Hi again the car is stored with all the paperwork in eBay warehouse number 29,in Lynnwood, WA headquarters in container,sealed and ready for delivery. The transaction will be made thru eBay because they can protect both of us and they also offer 10 days inspection period. You’ll have 10 days to test/drive the car before decided to keep it or not. If the vehicle is not like I described you’ll ship it back on my expense and they will give you a full refund. eBay will hold the funds until you receive the car with all the papers work. Only after you confirm them that you wanna keep it they will release me the funds. In this way you will be able to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy it.
Thank you for the info..i will contact eBay and i will proceed the deal.You will receive a notification from them with all the steps you need to follow to complete the deal. E-mail me when you will receive the notification from eBay Thank you,Lara Me To Lara Benson
