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?

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....

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!

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.
