Ebay pulled the auction, but here's the email I received from the seller when I asked him if the 'buy it now' price was correct:
Hello ,
Thank you for your interest in my 1974 E – Type Jaguar Convertible. I want you to know I cannot accept financing because time is a real issue for me, this is why I am looking for a cash buyer.
The car will be shipped from Germany(Europe) & i will cover shipping fees as my father-in-law work for DHL air service. Will be shipped with DHL Air Service and you will receive it within 12 days tops. DHL will delivery the car at your door.
I'm selling this car in perfect working condition , no damage,no scratches or dents,no hidden defects, and it is as advertised. Is an US model with US specs and will be shipped with CLEAR US TITLE.
Here you have a short desc of my car:
1974 E – Type Jaguar Convertible
Miles: 82574
Exterior: Burgundy
Interior: Tan
Engine: 12 - Cyl. - 5.3 liter
4 speed Manual Transmission
VIN Number: vin# ue1s23588
Factory Air Conditioning
Wire Wheels
Factory Hard Top in Matching Color (which is beautiful when installed)
This car can be yours for only $6,300.00.
Reason for selling : We found out that we have to pay a large amount of money to regist the car here, because it is an US model (which complies with the US emission ) and Europe regulations are different from these ones , so it's more than hard for me to find a buyer here. I hate to sell it at this price but i REALLY need this money , my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer,and is going thru treatments to help stop it. I am selling so i can put money away to pay for medical bills that are mounting.
If you are still interested please get back to me ASAP and i'll let you know terms of payment for this deal.
Thanks,
