Open Question: 04 Mazda 3s, Sounds like a scam to me.. what do you guys think?
This guy said he was going to sell me his 04 Mazda 3s for $4000, and I asked “why so cheap” (BY THE WAY, I LIVE IN ILLINOIS), he said
I am very glad that you interested in buying my car( 2004 Mazda Mazda3 S ).I am selling this car because my platoon has been sent back to Iraq and don’t want it get old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to sell it before March 12.It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn’t been involved in any accident..I do have the title, clear, under my name. It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $4000. The car is in Marietta GA, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping.Let me know, if you are interested, email back.
Here is the information.
Mileage: 61,000
VIN: JM1BK123641133104
Sincerly,
Lt. James Atkinson
That is when I replied, “How much for shipping” (at this point im convinced its a scam).
He replied…
The price for the car is $4,000 with shipping included.
I will have the car shipped from Marietta, GA by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won’t be any additional shipping costs. Also I will arrange for a truck to transport the car to your home address or, if you like, you can pick it up from the nearest airport in your area. The shipping will take 1-2 days, depending on your location.Shipping will be door to door,to your home address,somebody must be home when the car arrives to sign for the reception.The car will arrive with all the papers and documents required for registration and the keys. The clear title and the bill of sale will be already signed by me.
The payment will be done through eBay.You will send the money to eBay and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will notify me to proceed with the shipping. I will ship the car, you will receive it and you will have 7 days for inspection, both the car and the paperwork and the option to accept or reject the car.The inspection time period will begin as soon as you sign for receiving the car at your requested address.During all this time eBay will hold the money into a trust account.So, this is not a blind transaction,you can see the car before decided to buy it.If you are satisfied with the car and decide to keep it you inform eBay about this and they will release the money to me. If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back the car will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for the both of us.Please take in to consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car and make sure everything is as agreed.
If you agree with these terms and you have the money, send me your full name and the address where you want the car to be delivered to and I will initiate the transaction with eBay. You will receive all the transaction details from them.
I will appreciate an answer as soon as possible.
Sincerly,
Lt. James
Voting Question: Registering vehicle in texas?
Just moved here over 2 months ago.Just renewed everything in my previous home state.My husband’s license was about to expire,so he got a Texas license,vehicle inspection,registration,etc. It came to almost 400.00!!!! What the hell?? I am unsure of how much it will cost me to do all fo that(don’t want to either). Any ideas of how much a Texas license,registration, and inspection would run. My husband has a large pickup. I just have a Mazda. I went to the website and could not find prices. Any help would be appreciate.
What if I don’t have enough for the license,regi.,inspection,etc. all at once. Should I do one before the other?
Voting Question: Need help making sense of FHA options?
I am looking into FHA loans with fine grain detail. I don’t want any surprises, and I want to know the benefits of each type.
I think that thus far the 203k Streamline would be the best fit. The home already needs Lead Based Paint removal, and also there are 4500 dollars in other repairs called for in escrow.
Since the escrow amount for repairs is under 5000 I thought the streamline 203k would work well?
Also i was told that if I do a 203k type, that only 10% of the purchase price can be applied to the cost of doing the lead base paint cleanup, this is likely going to be far below what it would actually cost, as I would like it removed entirely while the lead paint inspection report estimated just a stabilization at 6600 dollars, and that wouldn’t include an assessor coming in and making sure it was done right afterward either, so this part has me scared.
I want the lead paint out of there completely, and it seems the 203k would be the only way to make sure that happens while getting anything back toward the cost of removal, does anyone have any knowledge to contribute toward that to help me? It’s a awful lot of money and i want to get it taken out b/c I’m going to be letting my sister stay with me and she is preggo and lead is way bad for babies and pregnant women, i don’t want any risk whatsoever to my niece! but at the same time I’m not made of money :*(
I heard there is a credit that someone will give for the amount of 2500 that can be used toward closing costs, how do i get that?
Does anyone know if there are requirements to how long you have to wait on paying the mortgage off?
Beef- do you know when and what those new laws are?
Noneya - “Most streamline 203K loans have minimum of 5k and maximum of 35K. Are you purchasing a HUD owned home?” YES and the streamline has no minimum btw.
“You can ask for seller concessions of up to 6% of the sales price for your closing costs.
The cost to clean up the lead based paint is $6600(does this include repainting?) and you have an additional 5K +/- for other repairs?” Well, i have learned that I don’t HAVE to do a FHA to get the 2500 toward closing or repairs, all that is needed is that the bid exceed 25000 dollars on a HUD home. So that right there basically negates the whole reason I was going to go with a FHA, which was to get a bit free to go toward the paint cleanup, all this mumbo jumbo can go to hell, i’m paying cash, lol.

To answer your question a bit further though Noneya for other’s sake, the cost of 6600 was just to do a “stabilization” which means the contractors going in can just chip off the lose stuff and paint over it with an “encapsulant” type of paint. But I didn’t want any of that crap left behind whatsoever as my sister’s health will not be jeapordized by someone potentially doing a poor job, hence I wanted it removed 100%, the cost of that was likely going to go much higher but I don’t know for sure as the contractor I was interested in most never got a chance to get out there with me, the property was sold yesterday 
Guess I’m going with the other one I was looking at, oh well, it has a pool instead of a big backyard.
