'10 Toyota Corolla Le Sedan 1.8l. 25k Mi Certified To 100k By Toyota on 2040-cars

I've been listing cars for the past 12 years for friends, family and clients who accept my approach.   I have 40 yrs experience as a mechanical engineer in the automobile after market.  I describe vehicles carefully and accurately, reveal any defects, provide buyers with all available service records and  photos including the underside of the vehicle--something 99% of eBay sellers would rather you not know about apparently.  That's where a lot of the money gets spent on a used car.  Since I sell world-wide we have sent vehicles to Europe, Mexico, the Middle East and all over the US, I can't afford any surprises.

Pricing

Auction is NO-RESERVE meaning the car will sell to the last bidder.  this could be the first bidder if there is only one bid of course.  once there is an opening bid, the car will sell thru eBay.  In the mean time if I get an acceptable offer locally and there has not been a bid yet this auction will get the automotive equivalent of what Arlo Guthrie called 'the disappearing railroad blues'.  Dealers would clean up the defects I mentioned and put this car out there for at least $13,500, so do your own math and if you'd rather end the suspense, send me your idea.  However, once there is a bid, i have to let the auction run it's course.  

The Scoop

I'm listing this very clean Corolla for a friend.  It was driven by her non-smoking niece to get back and forth to college.  It's done about half the miles of the typical 2010 and has the balance of the Toyota Certified PO warrantee (to 2017 or 100k miles).  This is transferable to subsequent owners until it expires. I have a card from Toyota to send in with the new owners information.  

The car has been serviced at Ganley Toyota in Akron needing only oil chnages, fluid interval checks with  no mechanical issues to date.

Scammers?  

Hope there's no hard feelings after I sent that 250,000 piece scam-bomb to your mail server after the last time you tried a scam on me?  Don’t even think about it!  I do not do bundled shipping.  I don’t care if you are in the merchant marine or your late dad was the president of Sri Lanka--if you don’t have a PayPal account we aren’t doing business, period.  And furthermore, please practice your English on more gullible sellers.  The boiler rooms you guys call from are so noisy these days I can hear your buddies in the background asking the same stupid scammer questions:  “So why are you selling your... ‘item’…”  There's always the chance that you are actually interested in aluminum siding or the free ginzu knives you got all those offers for.   All it cost me was a bottle of 15 yr old scotch to my friend with a pHd in computer security.  Want some more of that action?  Then scam on brothers.
