Hello,
The escort is still for sale in excellent condition. All necessary documents available. My current location is Scotland due to my work commitments. If this is going to be a quick sale, I will let it go for £4,000 delivered at my costs.
The deal will go through eBay and PayPal.
Thank you


Evelyn

Reply from Seller,


Due to my location and since view or pick up is not an option I agree for a 5-7 days of full inspection period ( after the date you receive the car ). This means that you have 7 days to inspect the car for any damages and decide if you want to keep it or not!
Because I will sign eBay's return policy, your money will be insured by them and you will have the option to reject the deal, only if we go through PayPal as well. If this is the case, you will receive a full refund (money back) from PayPal and I will have to take the car back on my cost!
You can read more about it following the link below:


http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/buy/contextual/return-policy.html


Let me know if the above return policy is acceptable and if you want to purchase the car please confirm your PayPal email for further instructions.

I will not be able to arrange cash on delivery service but eBay will provide us a safe and convenient way to proceed. Viewing is not available at the moment this is the main reason I want to do it with eBay and PayPal, I am offering free delivery and a full inspection.
