What on earth has that guy been smoking????? I love this next bit taken from his 'oh so professional' sales pitch.(I wonder if he has ever heard of punctuation marks.)

"MY PRICE FOR A QUICK SALE IS $9500 OR BEST OFFER NO REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE REFUSED IF THIS CAR WAS IN AUSTRALIA I COULD EASILY GET AROUND 25K FOR IT THE LAST ONE I SOLD IN AUSTRALIA IN SIMILAR CONDITION SOLD FOR 24K"

I would love to meet the Aussie that bought his last one for 24k, maybe he lives on another planet like Uranus.
