I had a response from this ad.

and may have lost the sale.

I received this immediately - -

My name is Mike, an oceanographer from BP Exploration & Production.
It's my pleasure to contact you in regards to your Ad you posted for sale. Though, your selling price seem pretty fair enough, but I'd like to ensure it's in good condition, cos am new to buying online. I won't be able to take a proper inspection at it myself nor make calls due to my current location(offshore) & work schedule.

Here are few things I'd like to know before I proceed with the purchase.
(1) Are you the first owner?
(2) When have you been using it?
(3) Does it has any rust or has been repaired? & hope no mechanical issues?
(4) I'd like to know your reason for selling?
(5) Please confirm the selling price? I will appreciate more close up pics
(6) Lastly, can I be rest assured I won't be disappointed with the purchase?

Best Regards.
Michael A. McGrace

My response --

Michael,
I am a retired Police Detective Sgt. and must admit that I am a little concerned that a person answering my ad that contains 70+ photos and very good description for the car can't decide the quality of the car.

If you will furnish me the location and office where you are employed I would be happy to confirm your info then fully work with you.

Thank you,

Darn it, I haven't heard from him since. Very interesting.
