here's his response to my email

Me:
Hi do you still have your integra for sale? If so could you send me your phone number?

Thanks


tony_happel@comcast.net:
Hi,
Thanks for being interested in buying my car. 2000 ACURA INTEGRA TYPE-R. It is in a good condition, no scratches, no damages, never been implicated in any accidents, no problems at the engine, runs very well. It has an B18C5 engine, 19,983 miles, clear title, a perfect car. The price is not negotiable , $5,500.00 firm. I know that this is a low price for such a good car, but I need to buy a house and I decided to sell my car. I hope that you will agree with my price and there will not be any argues regarding my price. I would like to complete this transaction asap, cause I need money asap and I don't have so much time at my disposal.. we will use only eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection to complete the sale. If you are interested and you have the funds available email me your full name and shipping address.

Regards,
Tony
