"Thank you for your fast response.
The rig has been in my family since new, it was my father's, he passed
away and I owe it.
I have the title clear, on my name.
I am in the military, I cannot take care of the rig as my father did,
I have some debts to pay fast, I also signed a 6 months contract for
Afghanistan and will be leaving there in less than a month, so I am
selling it.
I can take 5 days off and meet you, see the rig and papers, test drive
it, inspect it at a service or dealership and if as expected, we close
the deal.
Also, please excuse me if I won't be able to response immediate to
your emails or calls, but I work 80 plus a week and cannot take calls
during work or get access to my email.
Anyway, you have my word that I will try to do my best to make things
work out between us.
I can be in Lafayette in a 2 days notice, so we can set up a meeting
at your proposal.
I would also like to fly up there one day before, so I can prepare
everything and to pick you up form the airport.
Just please let me know your answer for sure, because I have to take a
permit in order to leave the base and do not wish to make the trip for
nothing, as I did 2 weeks ago, when the buyer did not even show up to
our meeting. When I called him, he just mentioned that his loan was
not approved and he is unable to buy my rig.
My # is 3372050149, as I mentioned, I may not be able to take any
calls during work, if so please email me all your requests and will
respond as soon as I have access to ym email."
As I have always heard--if it sounds to good to be true-beware

I failed to mention in my initial post that I emailed him and asked for a copy of the title so I could run a carfax on it. So far I haven't received a reply-probably won't!
Not everyone in the United states speaks or write perfect English, as some seem to think everyone should. This person appears to live in Cajun country and may very well be of French decent, so English would not be his strong point. The ad sounds legit to me and if you get a VIN to run and checkout with the LA authorities, then you should have your answer.

If i remember correctly a while back on this forum or on IRV2 RV forum someone posted the same email about someone selling their RV and going overseas and asking if it was a scam or not. I think they found out it was a scam, traced back the email address and found it came from overseas.
The seller's response is pretty good but with a few clues; you don't need a "permit" to leave a military base, no one works 80 plus hours a week for any length of time like the seller claims, and in most states the transfer of personal property with a title from a deceased person requires some kind of probate action involving a court of law. The lack of email access also sound phony. When will the seller ask you for a deposit?
If the MH is as the seller claims he could make a quick no hassle sale to a dealer for a little less than trade in value and avoid dealing with buyers and all of the disruptions to his very heavy work schedule.
