Hi and sorry for my late reply. The car has been well taken care of, always garaged, it has no damage, no accident and no finance, I have all the papers and documents.

The price I am asking is AU $9,000. I was serving in RAAF Tindal, NT but I have been just promoted and transferred to RAAF United Kingdom for 5 years, therefore I need a fast and reliable buyer. Before moving in England I left the car at our Military Logistics Department from RAAF Tindal NT, AU army, all crated and ready to go. I've arranged the shipping and the papers' transfer anywhere in Australia. The shipping will be free of charge.

I want the transaction to be handled only through Google (Google Wallet - Escrow Services) because they offer the highest rate of safety and reliability during online transactions, both for buyer and seller. You will have 7 days to inspect the car.

If you are still interested in it please email me back so I can give you more details.

Kind Regards,
Lt. David Phillips

Hi again xxxxx, the car is already at our Military Logistics Department from RAAF NT, AU Army ready to go. I offered the free shipping because you won't be allowed to enter the military base. I've made this deal simple and secure for the 2 of us.
I can have it shipped at your door and give you 7 days to inspect it before Google Wallet releases the payment. If you find anything wrong with it or different than described, I will have it shipped back, free of charge!

The car is in great condition, you will not have any problems with it. It drives like new and it has not any mechanical or electrical problems.
You will receive the car along with all the papers and documents that you need so you will not have any problems when receiving the car to register it on your name.

I will briefly describe the Google Wallet Buyer Protection Program transaction steps, as to make things as clear as possible for both of us:
1. Buyer and seller reach an agreement (price and delivery conditions)
2. Buyer sends money to a Google Wallet Escrow/Bank Account.
3. Google Wallet confirms to seller that the amount has been received.
4. Seller performs the required services (shipping, insurance).
5. Buyer accepts delivery and informs Google Wallet about the acceptance.
6. Google Wallet releases the money to seller.
They will hold and insure your payment until you receive and test the car for 7 days.

If you want to buy it please email me your full name and shipping address so I can reserve the car for you and register the transaction with Google Wallet and they will contact you with all the instructions step by step, explaining how to complete the transaction.

Kind Regards,
David
