the price sounded too good to be true, so out of curiousity, i sent the seller a message indicating i was interested, if the price was a typo or if there was anything wrong with the car. this is the reply i got today:
"[FONT='PrimaSans BT,Verdana,sans-serif']The car I'm selling is 100% working and good looking,no scratches or any kind of damage.The car is in the US. I have the clear title in hand. I'm a serious seller and a fair trader and I prefer to deal only with a serious buyer. I am not trying to close a prepaid transaction with you, i realise that this is not acceptable. Anyway, I have to let you know that I want a fast deal because I need the money asap and that is also the reason why I am selling it at a lower price, so if you are really interested in buying it, please reply .I am not in the city, so the transaction has to be made from distance. I have a contract abroad with my job and I don't know exactly when I'm comming back in the US.I am in Madrid, Spain right now, but I will pay the shipping fees. All documents will be provided along with the car.The transaction will be made through a third party company for a safe trade."[/FONT]
[FONT='PrimaSans BT,Verdana,sans-serif']the price makes it tempting, but even if he was looking for 'money asap', i'm thinking there's no way he'd list it for that little if everything was above board. plus the 'currently out of country' and 'third party transaction' all sound a little fishy to me... yes/no?[/FONT]
