I am a private seller and I moved recently in Italy, I've wanted to take this car with me and register it here and sell them for more money, price for car here are higher than those in US,
unfortunatelly import taxes and european regulations made me change my mind since I have to pay a lot of money. Now I am shipping them back to US and sell them for a low price because next week I have a deadline term for paying those taxes and I need to sell them until then otherwise I lose it!!!This car is like new, STATE OF THE ART, completely working, no scratches, no dents, never been abused,always well taken care of,

This price includes shipping costs and the insurance for shipping and
you only pay for the money transfer commission when you wire the funds, which is about 4% from the total amount sent.
You will not have to pay for customs or any additional taxes when it
arrives in your country because the car are an US product registered in US. To clear any doubt and to be sure we will avoid any tax:I will declare the shipping as a gift/donation.

scam
there was a recent post about that here. It's a total scam, it's basically a version of the standard bank check scam. If you want to look into it and make sure, offer to pay for a plane ticket for her to come back and show you the car in person, or offer $13,000 CASH to be exchanged upon a meeting with a buyers agent which you can even offer to pay for, and you will get some elaborate story, about how you're supposed to western union a deposit to her, and she'll arrange a meeting, and then you'll send the money, and then she'll be gone like an STi at the line against a Kia.
