We purchase, Pick-up, Deliver Automobiles for our clients when contracted.At present,we have a client who has indicated interest in your automobile that was advertised on the net.Please we would want to know if it's still availiable and if it is,Send me:
(i)The final/bottom price of the automobile.
(ii)The milage
(iii)Recent pictures of the automobile.
(iv)Why you are selling the automobile.
The above questions are part of our company policy when purchasing automobiles,So don't find them embarrasing to answer.I hope to hear from you soon. Have a splendid day.

I think there is a company that does this sort of stuff, but its usually on million dollar Ferrari's and such, and with clients that are high profile people that wish to remain anonymous.

This does not sound fishy I would send the info. It couldn't hurt and why do you own a 6 cylinder. You need to put a 460 EFI motor in it with a C-6 or a T-56 tremec. :dance:

I hope the customer is not paying a company to serach for a used car for them. But other than that, I don't think they are asking personal info that could be used against you. Coulnd hurt to try it.
