My sister is trying to sell her car and apparently there is a out of state company willing to buy the car even though they haven't seen the car personally. Here are the emails interchanged. What do you guys think??
UPDATE Thanks for the heads up. Just for the kicks my sis just emailed the guy to wire transfer $8000 and see what he says..

Hello,
Yes, the car is still available, it is in perfect driving conditions and ready for selling.
The offer of $2,300 is also fine with me.
The only thing your client need to consider is that the car does have a dent in the front passenger side ( above tire), that does not affect the driving at all, and it's just a parking lot mishap! and an easy cosmetic fix. Also the sunroof is stucked, so you can see the sky, but you can't open it. Once again, I believe it is also an easy fix. I just haven't had the chance to take itto the shop and do it myself, therefore the low price on the car.
Let me know if your client is still interested, and we have a deal!
Thanks!

Hello XXXXX,
Thanks for your mail, I have contacted my client and he has instructed me to
inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier cheque of $8,000.00
which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by him.
The cheque has to be made out in this amount to you because company policy only allows a refund payment on one cashier cheque. I will therefore require you to deduct cost of $2,300.00 which is for your car when payment gets to you and refund the balance to my customer via electronic transfer for him to be able to offset shipping charges.
After payment has reached you and balance sent back to him, our agent will come for checks,test drive, pick up the item and move to a prepaid shipper for onward shipping to my customer.
Confirm this and provide name, address and phone number for check payment to
be delivered to you via courier at once.I look forward to buying your car for my client soonest.
Thanks,
Peter.
