how long have you owned it?? I would love to be to know more about the
Present condition of the car and the car Service History..I will be
paying you through PayPal,which is a fast, safe and reliable method of

My responses in blue
I'd love for you to see the car and test drive it yourself. Cash payment is preferred, for which I provide you a receipt.
What city are you in? Would this weekend work for you to see it?

Thanks for your response.. I will like to have your paypal email
address soon so i can proceed with the payment.. Thanks

I cannot accept payment for a car that you haven't seen. When would you like to see it?

I am right now in china for business trip. Thanks

okay. So do you have someone here that could come see the car and bring payment?

Thanks for your response.. I am sorry i am okay with the pics and no
one will be able to bring payment.. Thats why i insist on paypal only
for the transaction .. Thanks

Were you planning on sending someone to collect the car or did you want it kept until you returned from your trip?

Thanks for your response.. I will like you to know that once i made
the payment and you have cash from paypal.. I will send my pickup
agent to come for the pickup.. Thanks
