Also it will come with all papers and reg. in order.
I’ve agreed with Market Place on facebook to take care of this transaction as third part on it. They will receive and process your payment until you get my truck. You’ll also have 5 working days of testing it and until they get the final answer of you keeping my truck I will be able to receive your payment from them. I need to know if you are interested so I can ask Market Place to send you the details on this deal.
For this deal to be close I will need from you a reply with : your full legal name, postal code, the address where you want to be delivered and also a valid phone number where you can be reached.
Please keep me posted with your final decision so I’ll know what to do next,
