Hello again
As I told you in my first email, I'm selling thru third party. This way we
are both protected and you will have a 5 days testing period prior to
buying. The shipping company is Classic Title and Escrow Inc
http://www.classictitleinc.net.
In order to start the transaction I will need: your full name, shipping
address and phone number.
As soon as I have this info, I will contact them and I will start the
process.
The shipping company will delegate a transaction manager for us.
The payment must be made thru wire transfer in an escrow account managed by
the shipping's company representative.
The payment details can be found only on their website using the tracking
number provided in the invoice.
As soon as the deposit has been made the car will be released and will
arrive at your home address within 7 days.
I paid for Platinum Protection Program and that means that you will have a 5
days testing period and you can inspect the car to a local dealership at my
own cost.
If, after the inspection period you want to keep the car, the transaction
manager will help you with the registration process.
As I stated in my first email, the car is in excellent condition, clear
title and no scratches, no accidents, no dents, no dings.
If you can find anything wrong with the car, you must inform the transaction
manager and you get the full refund, no questions asked.
If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask but if you want to
get the ball rolling, please reply with the requested info
Thank you
