I emailed you to let you know that the car is still available. I had a buyer offering $8,000 but his loan did not get approved.<br /><br />I am selling the car for $7400; the price includes all the shipping costs and insurance so you won't have to pay any extra charges. The 2001 Ford Mustang is located in Sugarland, TX and it looks like new, it has never been scratched or wrecked. It will come with a clear title, bill of sale signed by me as well and all the papers (including the original manuals and keys) that you will need to register it under your name. I want to sell it because we need the money to finish our new house, so I'm willing to let it go for 7400 bucks First come, first served.<br /><br />About the payment method I will only accept an escrow service because it's the safest way for both of us. The escrow is a third party that holds your money until you receive and approve the car. Also, you will have 3 days for inspecting it at your home and if you agree to keep the car, I will receive the money. If you agree with these terms, please reply me and I will be more than glad to provide you with further information on how to purchase the Ford Mustang ASAP.<br /><br />Also, I've attached a few pictures of the car and here is the car's description: Ford Mustang SVT Cobra, Year: 2001, Miles: 35.800, Title: Clear, Exterior: White, VIN Number: 1FAFP47V61F244142<br /> <br />Best Regards,<br />Virginia E Hanner<br /> <br /> <small>[ December 15, 2005, 08:42 PM: Message edited by: Tooth ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
