Emailed the Craigslist ad and got a vague response. Returned text: Hi if you’re interested in the 98 Gmc Sierra $1500 here is my mom’ email: [email protected] she’s the one selling it.
The email said:
Hi,
First, a few words about this 1998 Gmc Sierra 1500 Z71. Is in perfect working condition, garage kept, with nothing mechanically wrong – like new! This truck has only 115,023 miles, used just to cruise. No accident history, clear title, no dents or dings and no scratches. Engine size: 5.7L V8, Transmission type: Automatic. If you decide to buy it, you’ll receive all the papers, owner manual, keys, a buy-sell contract already signed by me and the clear title. I have a low price ($1500), because I want to sell it in the next 7 days. Reason for selling is that I am in US Army and my unit will be sent back oversea to replace and help the troops scheduled to come home this year, and I don’t want it get old in a storage garage for 18 months, so please try to understand my situation.
Looking forward to hear from you,
U.S. Army Sergeant First Class SSGT Paula Adams
