"John Dean will like to know if your listed car is still on for sale if yes kindly get back to him on (jdean8414@gmail.com) with the final asking price". I sent the following email to him: "Hi John Thanks for you text enquiry for my Saab. I believe $3200 is a pretty fair price and I think it’s worth that much. However I could be persuaded to go to an even $3000 for cash, if that’s of interest to you. Feel free to email me, or give me a call on 041N NNN NN3 if you’d like any more info on the car. Cheers James" He responded with: "Thanks for the response,I would have loved to call you directly but due to the nature i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kupe project work, we do not have access to phone at the moment,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.
