[/align]Hello there,
Thank you for your interest in my 2006 Hummer H2 TRUCK. I want you to know that I closed my auction earlier because someone offered me the buy it now price, but didn't have all the money available, I cannot accept financing. The price I want to obtain for the car is $13,500 US (this price includes shipping and insurance charges).
The car is like new, completely working, perfect running condition,with no
hidden damages or accidents,it has always been garage kept, low miles, non-smoker no flood or storms. It is a US model with US specs and passed the US test emissions. It will be as if purchased locally.The car is insured in case of damage and you will receive it to your address in 5 working days . It will come with all the necessary papers (clear title, bill of sale, warranty documents, user's manual,insurance etc). The title is clear and you will be able to register the car in your state without any problems.
I am requesting a $4,000 refundable deposit at the beginning of the shipping and the balance to be paid after delivery and inspection. If you are
not 100% content with the car you will be able to ship it back on my expense to get your deposit back. I am sure this will not happen, because it is a state of the art vehicle and you will have no reasons not to be content with it.
We will use eBay Motors as third party. First you will pay the down payment to eBay and you will send the receipt proving your payment to eBay. Please note that eBay will hold your deposit of $4,000 until you will confirm that you received the car and you transferred the title into your name.
If you agree with these terms, please send me your full name, home and shipping address, eBay ID so I can register the transaction with eBay asap.
...waiting for your fast answer, Donna Scoggins.

Strange...Donna who's selling it is suppossed to be in Ohio...so why is her phone number in Marathon...Upper FloridaKeys? Her voice was very deep and eastern European in origin...turns out the man told me he's her husband and she was not around. Sure!
Here's her email: doscoggins@aol.com In case you want to make her an offer.
It's been reported it FBI's IC3 program
