Dogg, especially be careful if they're out of the country
THERE IS NOTHING NO ONE CAN DO TO HELP YOU IF IT IS A SCAM
You will lose the Truck and the fake cashier check
They're so good these days the bank will even cash them,
then when they find out it's fake, bye bye money, and the trucks already long gone
Could be totally on the up and up, just be careful.
Good luck with the new house
, sorry to see you go

Thanks for the replies everyone.....here is the latest.....
Think I've heard this one before...
FROM THE BUYER....
Mike & Jolene,
Thanks for the detailed information provided on the purchase of your vehicle am happy my client has agreed to purchase your vehicle at $19,500 .Hope the vehicle is oil changed ,serviced and ready to go,i have just spoken with the customer not long ago regarding payment and pickup arrangements ,He explained that there is no much time left considering the purpose of the vehicle . His debtor company already took more than enough time to release his refund.
He has instructed me to inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier check of $27,000 payment made out to cover the expense of the shipper who will be shipping the vehicle, So you are required to deduct the cost of your vehicle $19,500 when payment is received and send balance of $7,500 to the shippers for him to be able to offset shipping & tax charges, and other cosmetic repair costs.
Upon receiving your payment and balance sent down to the shipper immediately the shipper's agent w ill come for inspection and pick up (of vehicle & signing of title papers), some cosmetic touches and drive to the prepaid shipper .Confirm this and forward your LEGAL NAMES, ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER for payment to be made out. Please get back to me within fews hours of receiving my mail to confirm this.I await your response with the required information for payment delivery asap.
Thanks in anticipation of your understanding.
Kind Regards,
Allison

yeah man.....I guess they think I fell off the turnip truck early this week.
I did reply and ask a few more questions......just seeing if they will pursue this.
I told them I would rather not be involved in the shipping transaction....

Don't do it!!!! This is the typical scam format (The "they'll send the money and you deduct the cost" scam) I've seen this many times before. I've gotten lots of emails with this type of offer. When I told them to send a representative to meet at the bank of my choice to cash the check, I never heard from them again! Don't do it man...
