Thanks for replying to my ad. I want you to know the car is in excellent condition with no rust or any kind of damage anywhere and it doesn't need any maintenance. The odometer shows 72,048 miles. I can provide you an
Autocheck report for the car. Title is clear and free of liens. This 2000 Nissan Maxima GLE Sedan has an automatic transmission and it's very easy to drive even for a beginner.
My price is $2850. I am now in a divorce with my ex and i am in desperate need of money to pay the mortgage on my house. That's my only reason for selling it otherwise I wouldn't do it. The deal will be handled by eBay trough their eBay Vehicle Purchase Program . They will handle the title and money transfer and deliver the car
to your location. The car is at their office in Salem,NC.
The best part about this is that you'll get 3 days money back guarantee.
If at the end of those 3 days you decide not to keep it you'll get a full refund by them. If you want the Maxima and if you have the money available all you have to do now is to send me your full name and your address. As
soon as I hear that from you I will initiate the transaction through them.
The process is very simple and risk free for both of us.

Thank you . "
The car does not exist, neither does the ebay service they speak of. If you send money you will not see these people agian.
