Dear [recipient's name]:

Thank you for taking the time to show me the 1995 Honda Accord that you are selling. Per our discussion, I plan to purchase this vehicle from you for $3,650 and will pay cash. I will pick up the car from you this Saturday at 10 a.m. and will pay in full at that time.

Thank you again, and I look forward to meeting with you on Saturday to pick up the car. In the meantime, please contact me at 555-1215 if you have any comments or questions.
