Hello!

DMV said the following should be completed on the back of the Title. Is this what you anticipated when shipping the vehicle?

The Title Transfer requires an additional document to be provided, the original Title of the vehicle. The information on the back of the original Title must be filled out by both the original owner and recipient. This information includes;

Buyer/Recipient's name & address
Date of sale or date of delivery

Fee based on amount. Said it's $86. Direct draft from bank would have been cheaper. But I'll honor the process.

Thanks!

OK, in this case, I will prepare the shipping and then I'll wait for eBay to notify me about your payment confirmation. As a TIP for you, to avoid Western Union high fee, declare at Western Union office that the money will be sent for a family member, relative or friend ( the transfer commission will be smaller 3 - 5% ). For online payments, you could pay 10 - 12% transfer commission.

Please don't forget to confirm the payment at eBay after you'll return from Western Union office, so I'll begin the shipping process immediately.

Hello,



Thank you so much for your prompt response. The total price which you will have to pay is $ 2,250 US ( with a down payment of $ 950 ).

Please take a few moments and read my email carefully, I know it is long, but I will explain all the details about the car and the transaction. At the moment I'm stationed in Spain- Barcelona making
final preparations before deploying to Afghanistan with the U.S. Convoy.

The car is already at our Military Logistic Department in Scott Air Force Base, in IL, crated and ready to go. The Logistic Department will deliver the car to your home. The shipping is free for you. Since the car is in a military base, with no access you can not go there and take it, only the Logistic Department can deliver it, because the car is in their custody. Shipping may take anywhere between 2 to 3 business days depending on the destination. All documents you need for ownership, manuals and bill of sale will be provided along with the car .

For the payment I would like to use eBay as a third party. They will keep your money into a protection account until you get the car and will release it to me after inspection period is over and you
agree to keep the car . So, this is not a blind transaction, you can see the car before committing to buy and to eliminate any concerns you will have 10 days to inspect the car . If you decide not to
keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for both of us.

I'll start the official procedure, and eBay will contact you about this. If you are interested in buying it just mail me back with:
- Your Full Name - Required by eBay (You'll receive important guidelines + instructions from them.)
- Your Shipping Address and Phone Number - Required by the Logistic Department (They will call you with delivery/pickup instructions 1 day ahead so you can communicate what time schedule work best
for your to receive the car)

Again I want to point out that because I am going to Afghanistan this sale is my top priority and I am looking after a fast transaction, with no delays. That is why I decided to lower the price, to
avoid wasting time with negotiations and find a buyer as soon as possible.


Thanks, hope to do business with you soon!

Hello,

This is a 2007 Nissan Maxima, 4dr Sdn V6 C, AUTOMATIC, ONLY 44,666 Miles, VIN 1N4BA41E67C847515 , runs and drives excellent. It has been extremely well maintained with a full service history.
Transmission is Automatic shifts smoothly.

It has no leaks or drips and does not smoke at all, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions with a clear title free of encumbrances and liens. I bought it when i was serving in Scott Air Force Base in IL and now I am deployed in SPAIN. The car will be delivered from IL, US.

I have dropped my price to $2,250 (purchase price) since this is an Urgent Sale! and I need to sell it before Aug 31th, when I will be deployed in Afghanistan with my platoon replacing the troops
scheduled to come home. Here's how it works: you make a $ 950 US as a deposit into the eBay managed trust fund ( they hold the money until you will receive the car ), and then you will make the
second payment of $ 1.300 US, which I think is fair for both !

If you're interested to conclude this purchase in a timely manner email me your: Full Name and Shipping address, to open a case with eBay. They will contact you to explain the entire procedure.
The financial part will be managed by eBay, which means that you will have a 10 days inspection period before committing to buy the car. In this way both, buyer and seller are 100% covered during
the steps of this transaction.

Hope to hear from you soon!
Maj. Rachel Perks

When can I see it?


Thanks,
