Hi,
I'm the owner of the 2005 John Deere HPX 4X4:ATV,on which you've recently show interest through craigslist.The ATV is in excellent shape and in perfect running conditions, no accidents and it has a clean US title in hand. I am located in Montreal Canada now and the atv will be shipped from here. The price for the car is $2,500 with shipping and handling included in price. Shipping will be done via DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers) and it will take no more then 2-3 days top (depending on your exact location).
The transaction will be made through SafePay Solutions for our own protection. You will have 7 days to inspect and test drive it upon arrival with no obligation to buy. Should the car not be exactly as described, you can cancel the deal, and get a full refund of your money.
Please get back to me and let me know if you are interested in the purchase !
Sincerely,
Marry

Why when I make a listing on craigslist I include a little disclaimer:
My actual Listing I have up right now.

Without something like that written in I used to get scammer emails all the time and a lot of them. Now that I been writing stuff like that in there I hardly get any if at all.

Had to say. It is very difficult to legitimately offer a full money back guarantee considering how expensive shipping is.

At a minimum I say it would be very difficult to get her to take it back for any reason other than the item's complete failure.

Locate someone who is in the Montreal area to check it out for you.
