:So I've emailed this guy back and fourth a couple of times now. I'm not sure what to say next, any suggestions? Here is where we stand at the moment-------->

:Jeremy,
:
:I got your mail and the contents well uderstood, as i informed you in my last mail,that we have a cashier check which is made out for the order,but the amount on it is bigger than what you are supposed to be paid.However,our client has instructed us to carry on with his check, that means that payment will get to you in cashier check of $20,000 which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client.So you are required to deduct cost of your car $13,750.00 when payment gets to you and refund balance $6,250.00 to my customer via western union money transfer for him to be able to offset shipping charges .
:After payment has reached you and balance sent back to him,our agent will come for the pick up and drive to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer,while title papers and other necessary documets will be handed
:over to my agent at the time of pick up.
:Please Confirm this and provide name,address and phone
:number for check payment to be delivered to you via fedex courier .
:Thanks and God bless,
:
:Carl.

:Carl,

:controller is a good controller but there's a small

:the controller off and on again. Pretty simple
:actually. Otherwise, the car really runs well. Do you
:guys want any more pics.
:Another thing, if shipping is required, I would like

:Just to be on the safe side for the both of us. You
:never know these days. So once you hear back from carl
:you'll let me know when you can send the payment and
:what escrow provider you prefer. Thanks. Glad we've
:agreed on a price. You won't be disappointed in the
:car. It is worth all of that and some. Just need the
:money basically. Don't want to sell it but I need to.
