Do *NOT* let him dictate the terms of payment. There is a scam where he sends the amount for the car and shipping fee, and you are supposed to give the shipping fee to his courier in cash. The cash you give his courier is real money (your own money) while the paypal payment will come up bad. Insist on him paying via Western Union wire transfer -- I predict he will refuse.
Received a texto that was asking me the last price for my car (I did put an add on Kijiji, and on LesPac adds), really bizarre, it asked to send it to [email protected]
I also received a text from this number asking the same thing and giving the same e-mail address.
I replied and received an e-mail back say that he would send a "private courier agent" to pick the car up and also would sent the money via paypal... not sure what to do.

As for the payment.. i will be paying you via one of the fastest and secure way to pay online (PayPal).
My private courier agent will come for the pick up and sign all necessary documents on my behalf after the payment have been made, as they will also be coming with all the information needed, my details and transferring the name of ownership to me will be done by the pick up agent so you don't have to worry about that.
