How does it work?
  1. Buyer and Seller Agree to Terms
    Both parties agree to terms of the transaction, which include a description of the vehicle, sale price and number of days for the Buyer’s inspection of the vehicle.
     
  2. Buyer Pays Google Checkout
    The Buyer submits their payment to Google Checkout. When payment is received, it will be verified and secured into a non-interest bearing trust account.
Google Checkout verifies the payment.
     
  3. Seller Ships the Vehicle
    Upon payment verification, the Seller is authorized to ship the vehicle.
Google Checkout verifies that the Buyer receives the vehicle.
The inspection period begins once the vehicle is delivered.
     
  4. Buyer Inspects and Accepts
    When the Buyer accepts the vehicle or the inspection period expires (at which point, the Buyer automatically accepts), the disbursement of payment will begin. Please note that Google Checkout may perform additional verification before funds are released.
For more information, read our FAQs.
     
  5. The Seller is Paid by Google Checkout
    Google Checkout pays the Seller after all conditions of the transaction are met.
  What are the benefits?
    Google Checkout reduces the potential risk of fraud by acting as a trusted third party that collects, holds and disburses funds according to Buyer instructions.
    We protect both the Buyer and Seller with a simple, 5-step trust process.
    The Buyer can inspect the vehicle before the Seller is paid.
The Seller ships the vehicle only if the Buyer’s payment is secured with Google Checkout.

Hi,




I wont be able to reach you on the phone because I have an handicap, (sorry I forgot to mention it) I was born deaf-mute. I'm really sorry for this inconvenience. I can help you by answering to your questions via e-mail.

This car has been completely serviced and inspected. It's stored in a shipping company's warehouse in Virginia (ready for delivery). I've asked them to allow viewers to go there and inspect the car but their reply was: "We are not a showroom!" In this case, I will offer a 7-day period to inspect the car from the moment you receive it, before I'll have your money, you can even take it to an independent mechanic for inspection. The shipping will take 3 to 5 days depending on your location. Being a charity sale you as a buyer you will benefit of substantial tax deductions, including free shipping. The shipping company will call you with one day before arriving to their nearest office from your location. You will have to go there and sign for pick up. You don't have to pay any taxes, duties or so. You will receive the car along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, 2 set of keys, full service records and more. I'm currently on a trip for UNICEF, so I can't conclude this transaction personally but I left everything prepared for the sale. The payment is refundable and will be handled by Google Checkout. If you decide to buy the car please include the following information in your next email so I can open a case with Google Checkout and they will notify you about this transaction. Like this you'll be able to talk directly with them and ask all you want to know.



1. Ship to name and address ( the complete name, address and phone# of the person receiving the car )

2. Motor vehicle registration name and address needed for title transfer, this would be your complete name and physical address ( or if the car is to be registered on someone else's name the name and address of the registrant is needed )



P.S: I'm sorry for the long email but I tried to reach all the points. If I missed something, please do not hesitate to ask me and I will do all my best to explain you again all the process and to answer to all your questions.
