I can't believe it, it actually worked out. Awesome! You got your price, easy deal, he didn't even do his own PPI? Perfect, no hassle, no stress.
Do the seats really go back on a 530i BMW? They definitely don't on my 7. If you want reliable, I'd pass on the Audi and go Acura. They are pretty much indestructible and hardly even break down. My buddy's Audi A4 is constantly needing expensive repairs and his mileage isn't really that high though it is wayyyy out of warranty. Your mileage may vary.
Good luck, the fun begins again.

Good deal!!!
It's too bad that we feel like we have to be inherently suspicious, especially just because someone has an unfamiliar accent or an odd syntax in an email.
Awareness is good, but suspicion sucks. Just the world the world is now, I guess.
Like Steve said, something's been lost forever, due to the underbelly element.
I read the email and it didn't put me on guard, and I'm always lookout for that kind of stuff. This one just sounded like somebody who maybe learned English later in life to me. Maybe I'm just naive.
