So I have my old car that I'm trying to get rid of. I'm probably better off junking it but I put an ad on CL just to see who might bite. Silly me...

until its dark. If you want to come during the day Saturday would be good.

viewing the site to see if i can buy something online..It will take me
2weeks to be back from my trip but i will advise if you send me your

the CHECK to you and it will only take (2-3days) to deliver,Am willing
to add Fifty dollars to your money.
About the shipping i already have a moving company that will
handle the moving of the item for me,So you don't have to bother
yourself anymore to ship.

Thanks for the interest. Coincidentally, I too am on a business trip in Europe. Where are you? Maybe we can meet up and exchange the money in person. I can then arrange for my agent in the US to drop the car with your shipping carrier. The most convenient place would be in Camden, however my agent can only meet there late at night. Also, I have some bitchin 22" spinners that I can throw in for another $75 if you're interested. Let me know. Oh, do you know anyone looking for a sweet NOS setup for this 92 Accord? I would also like to sell that, since I will no longer have a car that it will fit.

Thanks
