Posted on Craigslist Posting ID 3279798746 (Exact same Photo). After inquiring about the 1988 34' Holiday Rambler, I got a Reply from a Alfred Dionne.
Hi, I am selling my rv because my battalion has been sent back to Afghanistan and don't want it get old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to sell it before October 15. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident...I do have the title, clear, under my name. The 1988 Holiday Rambler has 53,600 miles, VIN : 1GBKP37W8H3333304. It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $2,400.The rv is in Dallas, TX , in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping.
Let me know if you are interested, email back.Thank you! Alfred Dionne .
I replied again asking for contact info and got the exact same response as above. After a third request for more info, I got the following response:
Hi again,As i told you, at this moment I am in TX state in a military base, getting ready for Afghanistan (I hope for the last time). I do a special training program everyday day and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or make calls whenever I want. The shipping will take 3 to 5 days depending on your location. As long as I'm dealing with Autotrader and they can ship the rv anywhere in the US,I listed the rv in several states because it increases my chances to get it sold much faster. I want to mention that the rv was inspected by Autotrader and fulfils the CO Emission standards from all the 50 states so it wouldn't be a problem for you to register it in your state.Because it is a large transaction, we will complete the deal only using an authorized third part like Autotrader because I already prearranged the whole process with them, using their escrow Safe Pay Program for vehicles not listed on their website. The rv is located in the Autotrader warehouse in Dallas, TX (ready for delivery). I asked them to allow viewers to go there and inspect the rv but their reply was "We are not a showroom!" In this case, I will offer a 5-day period to inspect the rv from the moment you receive it, before I'll have your money. I think this is more than fair for both of us.The payment will be handled by Autotrader , and you will benefit of 5 days inspection time period (test drive) and the option to accept or reject the rv on my expense. If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address. I will forward your info to Autotrader and they will notify you about our deal. Like this you'll be able to talk directly with them and ask all you want to know.
Thank you! Alfred.
AutoTrader does not warehouse or escrow.
