He responded to a craiglist ad for my car via email:
"Hello. Looking to get in touch with you. Has there been any major accidents?
Mail has not been going through on here consistently. Lets make sure we can connect – go ahead and shoot me a message at my personal email instead. I will leave it below for you.
My email: BillPalmer363(at\Gmail\dot\com) – you will probably need to retype that for it to work!
Sometimes mail ends up in the spam folder – so maybe check there too! OK, talk to you soon!

I told him the car had never been in an accident.
He then emailed:
Do you have a current vehicle history report?
If not, I suggest getting one at this website: AutoAdviceBlog.com
The report is really inexpensive, only $19. Alot cheaper than a Carfax, which is $40. The report will show any major accidents, title issues, if it was stolen, if it was flooded, etc.
You will get a lot more interest providing a report up front. Basically, showing that there is nothing to hide with the vehicle to potential buyers. It definitely helps sell faster.
Let me know if this helps. Thank you."
