Response: Ok, so your profile is very impressive and your details are perfect for driving conditions...I guess I would like a quote before I decide to anything and as for the Pick-up/Delivery not sure when to pick it up, I would have to arrange something with the original Owner. As for Delivery It would be preferable on the weekend, but I can manage on SOME days of the regular week. As per the info you requested - this is what the original owner gave to me (word for word)when I asked him.
Following are the details about the truck.

5.8 liter EFI V8
Auto Trans /w overdrive,
trailer towing package,

new brakes (7 months ago)
New exhaust system from the cat converter back, (5 months ago)
current mileage is 88k
power windows & door locks,
AM/FM cassette radio,
electric trailer brake controller,
power brakes & steering,

lots (4/5/2009)

Response: I accept your bid and I also do not mind that you can bring your trailer hitch along for the $499 price. I only have one question about where you might be hauling this trailer because I do not think a greyhound bus or airplane allow those types of things onboard or hauling :P . So I will contact the owner right away and notify him that you will be my shipper, and you can work out a pick-up date with him - he is very reasonable with his times. Thank you for your buisness.

Response: Thanks For Your Quick Response. As Far As The Trailer I Either Drop Them It Off On Way Or Put It In Storage Until I Am Back In Area To Pick It Up! I Am On My Way To Drop A Vehicle Off In Laramie And Could Then Hop The Greyhound South To Pick Up Your Ford If You Book Right Away. I Have Submitted My Bid For You. Please Read It Carefully And Then Accept Right Away So I Can Schedule You And Plan My Trip. Thanks! Dave
