Hi,

My name is Rebecca N. Hills and I’m emailing you regarding the 2007 Acura TL Type-S 3.5L V6 that I have for sale. It is in perfect condition, with no need for any additional repairs. Flawless exterior condition, no scratches and no dents. It has never been involved in an accident. The interior is in very good condition, also the exterior. No accidents, Clear Title, Great mileage: 68,226, It’s automatic transmission. The price for the car is $1,500 (including free delivery and handling to your address).

I’m selling this car because my child of only 26 years died 2 months ago in a bike accident, the car belonged to my son and it brings me bad memories and that’s the reason I want to sell it.

I am working on a cruise ship and I want to make this deal through eBay’s Buyer Protection Program, so if you’re interested in purchasing the car just reply me your full name, full address and phone number, so I can notify eBay. Once that is done, they will contact you in the next 24 hours to explain the entire procedure.

God Bless you and your family! Another email: Hi,The car is located at eBay warehouse in Omaha, NE 68134, headquarters, in the container, sealed and ready for shipping.Also the price is low $1500 because i want a fast deal, the car belonged to my son and it brings me bad memories.Like i told, the car is in perfect condition with clear title, no liens or loans. All the documents including the title and the bill of sale with my signature on it, will come along with the car and it will take no more than 2-3 days to arrive at your address. The transaction will be made thru eBay’s Buyer Protection Program because they can protect both of us and they also offer 5 days inspection period. You’ll have 5 days to inspect, test and drive the car before decided to keep it or not. If the vehicle is not like I described, you’ll ship it back on my expense and they will give you a full refund.eBay will hold the funds until you receive the car with all the papers work. Only after you confirm them that you wanna keep the car they will release me the funds. In this way, you will be able to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy it. If you want to start the transaction with eBay just reply me with your full name,full shipping address and your phone number,then eBay will contact you with further instructions.

Thank you
