Im gonna give my expo back bc its at that point where its only gonna cost me more and im tired of paying 600 a mo for a car not to add its old to me so i found a honda on craigslist for super cheap and wrote the guy bc something had to be wrong w this car and below is what i got back from him. I have never bought anything off of ebay so have no idea how that all works but i think the guy is full of shit and figured you guys would know more so let me know what you think...thanks


Hello,
I`m Sgt. Mark J Loranty. You have to know that the 2003 Honda Accord EX 4 Cyl Automatic I am selling is 100% working and great looking, no flaws or dents, no scratches or any kind of damage. The title is clear. It has 37,391 miles. The VIN# is 1HGCM56603A136574. This vehicle engine runs very, very smooth. No electrical problems on this beauty. This detailed vehicle makes the exterior looks like it just came off the assembly line.
Options
CD player Leather seats Sunroof
Driver airbag Passenger airbag Side airbags
Anti-lock brakes Air conditioning Cruise control
Power locks Power seats Power windows
Here are the pics of the car :

As I know that my current situation is pretty special I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for you to be 100% protected. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money until you receive the car. ONLY AFTER you receive the car and inspect it (for 10 days) eBay will release the payment to me; in this way we are both protected. Anyway i am sure that if you won`t be satisfied with the car i will surely find another buyer in your area and there will be no need for you to ship the car back.
I am located in Zagreb,Croatia and I was sent here to improve the military relationships between our country and Croatia. One month ago, my wife moved here with me and brought the car with her, but now we have to sell it back in the United States because In order to be able to register this car here, I would have to pay very high import/custom taxes. My final price on it is $ 2980. If you will take it for this price, I am willing to handle the shipping. It will be shipped from here by plane with US Air Military Cargo so it will not cost me anything. You will get it to the nearest airport in your area and then it will be trucked forward to your place. You will receive the car in about 4 days. Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.
Thank you, and have a nice day,
Sgt. Mark J Loranty

I am located in Zagreb,Croatia - That says it right there... If you cant physically hand them the money for the car, then I wouldnt do it...

Just in case you missed it........ THIS IS A SCAM, DON'T SEND THAT FUCKER ANYTHING!

It sucks you have to give it back after selling the GT to save it.
