I need your "Frudster"-dar Please Posted by B Millar [Email] (#1109) [Profile/Gallery] (more from B Millar) on Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:31:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My aunt and uncle are looking for a car for my 17 yr. old cousin. I've pushed Saab but they're stuck on VW. They found a 2003 Jetta 1.8t with 100k miles and leather and all sorts of goodies for a crazy low price of $3600 on Cra*gsl*st. They contacted the lister and the car is in Staten Island, NY. The potential frudster is located in Florida though, and signs all correspondence with "SGT" as if he's in the service - who knows, maybe he is?
Here's reply #1:
I've owned this car since 2006 and had very little issues with it. The car has been fully paid. It has always been serviced at the regular intervals and it's very robust. I was totally charmed by the car at that time and bought it on the spot.
It now has 102,200 miles and is looking better than ever.
It is located in Staten Island, New York. The engine is a 1.8L turbocharged with front wheel drive. Automatic transmission shifts as smooth as in day one.
Its options include: leather interior, power windows, power sunroof, power mirrors, premium sound system with cd player, steering wheel controls (volume, change stations, etc), cruise control , abs breaks, traction control, automatic tiptronic 5 speed transmission, rear defogger, heated seats, a/c, keyless entry , gti sport rims, sports suspension.
All mechanical and electrical devices operate as designed, no issues. The interior is in pristine condition, no rips, no tears, no stains, non smoker. No dings or dents, original accident-free paint job, nice and lustrous. Interior is perfect, some wear on the original floor mats. The are no issues with the car. I repeat, it's a very well maintained car and it's very hard for me to let it go.
This is the VIN: 3VWSE69M73M194253 so you can run an Carfax report on the car if you'd like.
I hate to let it go but I don't have any other choice.
That's it. It drives beautifully, it's fast and it handles great.

Feel free to e-mail me any questions.
The car will be shipped on my expense from Staten Island, New York and will be at your door in 3 days tops.
If you want to continue, please send me your full name and your shipping address so that I will let eBay Protection Program know that you are interested. You will receive an email from them instructing you how to send the payment. The money will be kept by them and you will only release the funds to me if you decide to keep the car (after receiving and inspecting it). I think this is a fair way to make business and I hope that you'll agree.
The most important thing in all my activity here is that I am affiliated to eBay's Protection program, and I have a a purchase protection account for 8000$ and i assume you know what this means. In case we close this deal, you are protected by eBay's Protection Program: 1) In case you do not receive the car exactly as I have described it to you or you do not receive it at all, eBay will give you a full refund of the amount that you have paid the eBay agent, although this is not the case.
2) You will send the money to eBay Protection Program and I will get a notification to ship the car. After you receive and see that the car is the one you want, you just notify eBay to forward me the payment details in order for me to pick up my money.
Let me know if this is OK with so we can move forward with this deal!
Also please write me what you decide because i have a few possible buyers.
When we asked about seeing the car he replies:
The thing is that I'm at the base and the car is in Staten Island and that's why I have entrusted Ebay to handle the deal for me. Send me your name and shipping address so I can notify them that you're interested and they will contact you with details.
You will then have to send them the payment according to their instructions. As soon as you do that, they will have the agent that's handling our deal, pick up the car and take it to your location for the inspection period. You will have up to 10 days to inspect the car at your local dealer. In case you decide to keep the car, the agent will assist you with all the paperwork, will help you transfer the title to your name and also give you the bill of sale. You will also be required to release the money from Ebay to me. In case you reject the car, the agent will give you a full refund and the car will be returned at no cost to you.
First off, he's selling a car that normally goes for +/- $7k for $3600 and he's promising to deliver it to your door at no charge. Plus I've never heard of eBay offering a service like this. I say run like hell, but I wanted your opinions. Thanks in advance.
