That is good news!
As you may know, the going price is close to $38,000 but mine needs some work and I will sell it for only $ 25,000. Please let me know if this is acceptable to you.
Thanks you!
..and received this response...
I really appreciate your response. I am a marine engineer and at this moment i am presently working offshore. Sometimes access to regular emails and phone calls is very poor offshore due to inefficiency of the immarsat service, I am located in pacific WA, and i want you to know that I am ok with the condition of the Triumph GT6 MkIII and the asking price as well.I am buying the Triumph GT6 MkIII as a gift for my father, I want to surprise him. I don't have access to my bank account on-line as i don't have internet banking,but i have my bank account attached to my PayPal account and this is why i insisted on paying you through PayPal, kindly get back to me with your PayPal details if you don't have PayPal account yet,it is very easy to set up at your bank and get it set up,after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with PayPal so as to put the money through so i can proceed with the payment and after the payment has been done, i have a pick up agent that will come around for verifications and to pick the Triumph GT6 MkIII after i have made the payments for the Triumph GT6 MkIII.So I will need you to provide me with the following information to facilitate the making of the payment.
1.Your PayPal full name.
2.Your PayPal Email Address.
3..Your phone number.
Once again ,I will like you to know that you will not be responsible for shipping. I will have my pick-up agent come over as soon as you have receive the payment confirmation.
Regards.

HI Rick,
That's fantastic!
I now how hard it can be, my family is from the Northwest and several still work out that way. So where are you working now?
I have a slight problem though, I went to set up a Paypal account and found that they require a credit card and I don't have one. My credit isn't very good so I have to have cash or a check. Also it seems that I would not even be able to withdraw the funds for the car except $ 500 per month and that would take 2 years!!
Could you please reply? I don't get to email to often either but I am in no rush.
and no, I do not have family in the Northwest, and yes I have a Paypal account..
I'll keep you posted with this saga..
Lester
