Somehow does not make sense that a guy in Europe wants to buy a van from
America when there are plenty of them there half the price with engine!
And why would he send three or four times more money to you when he did not
receive anything in return yet? Why would he want to pay shipping that cost
the same as a Westy over there? What are your assurances that the check he
sends is any good?
