It is a 1996 GST Spyder Eclipse. It has 84,000 miles on it, all new belts, all new hoses, new water pump, a little rip in the leather of the drivers seat at the seam, the passenger side motor for the top needs replaced (which he has and comes with the car but its the buyers job to install it), it runs real well, like new tires (less than 15?orn), good breaks (about 20?orn if not less), and just the normal little dings which an 11 year old car comes with unless it was kept in the garage since day one. How much would you pay.

Normally, if a home seller helps a home buyer with a down payment, the bank wants to know about it, and will count it against the home buyer when approving the mortgage. But what if the home seller agrees to rent the house back from the home buyer, and pay the rent in advance? Is that a loophole that lets a home seller help a home buyer with the down payment without having the bank count it against the home buyer when approving the mortgage?

I recently sold an item on ebay, and immediately got an email from the buyer asking for the email address associated with my paypal account, so she could make sure she sent the payment to the right person. I'm not sure I should answer her - shouldn't she just be able to pay through ebay? Sending her my information seems like I'm being set up for a scam or something, but I'm not sure.
