Hello,

Sorry if i delayed in responding. I'm in Ottawa, ON (Canada) right now
and I have been very busy. Thank you for your interest in buying the
car. The car is located in US right now and has US papers.Why is the
price so low? because i recently relocated and i want to sell the car
since i got a new one here. So all that I want to do now is to sell
the car at this price because I need to sell it fast.The title is
clean and you will have absolutely no problems to register the car in
your city.

I will tell you a few words about the car.

My 2006 Nissan Altima Sedan with Automatic transmission it is in
immaculate condition with 80,861 Miles, rust free , no scratch and
hasn't been involved in any accident. The motor runs very well.The
interior looks great( NO SMOKING). This car needs nothing,the title is
clear ,is not a salvage one.The vehicle has all your daily driving
needs and it is very economical on gas; which is great during this
tough economical times. Equipped with power windows; power locks;
power side view mirrors;power steering wheel; air conditioned climate
control; rear window defroster; AM/FM/CD/MP3 player; Auxiliary input;
center arm rest with storage compartment; anti lock brakes; dual front
impact air bags and so much more.
Here this the Vin #1N4AL11DX6C247901.

I want this transaction to go smoothly enough as I am caught in the
middle of some very important events and have little time at my
disposal.The car is like new, in perfect condition,accident free, no
scratches, no marks, no need for additional repairs or what so ever. a
genuine road runner ready to be yours, but only if you will understand
and you won't make me loose time as it has already happened to me.
Where are you located and phone # ?. When do you want the car because
i want to sell it fast?.

Here are all the photos of my car. The pictures are recent, and they
were taken right before preparing the car for sale.
The car is exactly as shown in the pictures:

The price is $4,000.00 USD and that is my last price. I will sell only
to buyers who are really interested in buying the car ,to be sure that
I don't wast my time with endless discussions.This way,I shall be
assured of the serious intentions .

So if you are interested please email me back for next step.

Thank you and I'II wait your email back.

Robert.


This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram to an escrow company with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.

Sounds safe. It's not!
The emails claiming to be from the company are fake.

At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay for the car due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.

In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

Thank you for being interested in buying my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee which is in perfect condition, with no scratches on it, no accident, always garaged, everything about this vehicle functions perfectly.My final price is CAD $5,110 including shipping to your address (only in Canada)The vehicle is located in Canada but currently I am located in London,UK because I just got divorced my husband and then I decided to move me closer to my parents.The vehicle was awarded to me in our divorce and I decided to sell the vehicle.As I'm unable to travel in the near future and I don't have anyone to help me with the sale I decided to make this transaction through eBay. I believe this protects both buyer and seller and it's the right way to do this.So don't get me wrong and don't take it personally but I would prefer to secure the deal through eBay.Basically the money will be sent to them and they will keep the money until you will receive the vehicle and only after you will inspect and drive the vehicle they will forward the money to me.I will wait your answer (if you are interested to buy) very soon and i will also explain you all terms for this transaction.

Regards,
Kathy
