Re: Right-Hand drive?
RHD vehicles in the United States are almost all used for rural postal
delivery. The poor mail carriers use LHD vehicles, and lean over real far,
when stuffing mail boxes.
I don't understand a 2003 vehicle, of any make or model, with 30,000 miles,
sold for only $3,000. What does it look like, who is selling it, and where
is it located? I wonder if you have a rural mail carrier who died, and his
heirs just don't know where to unload a vehicle like that?

Re: Right-Hand drive?
You know, I think I would check around the net and find out what state
uses RHD vehicles for mail. I would then try to find out if they
recently had a big flood....
Just a thought....

Re: Right-Hand drive?
Hey guys. Turns out it was a scam. Not sure how this guy was going to
pull it off. Here's the skinny. I bid on this Jeep on eBay. My max bid
was $3000. The final bid was around 11K. Did not meet the reserve. I
recieved a 'second chance offer' to buy the vehicle for my maximum bid
of $3000. I wrote back saying I would take it for that price, someone
with the e-mail of 'davidkyk1@yahoo.com' wrote back to confirm the
vehicle was availible for $3000, and asked for my location and eBay
user ID. I responed with the information (no, I didn't give him my
password or any other information). I got ancy, checked the photos.
Found out the dealer selling the Jeep is Bob Puckett Jeep in South
Boston, VA. I called Mr. Bob Puckett to confirm the deal and he said
the he had no idea who 'davidkyk1@yahoo.com' and he would never sell
that Jeep for $3000. He was very polite, though very confused about
where I got this offer from. Wow.. glad I'm a skeptic!

Re: Right-Hand drive?
Postal service is a federal function, not state. I believe that in many
locales, rural delivery is on a contract basis. The carriers are
independent business owners, of a sort, who supply their own vehicles and
supplies. Many buy RHD vehicles for the convenience and efficiency that
they provide. Others make do with the LHD family car.
I have heard, that it is in "interesting" experience, driving a wrong hand
drive vehicle on public roads, but that one quickly gets used to it.
I saw a deal like this once, and drove to the dealer to check it out. It
turns out that Auto Trader had misprinted the price.
