Something smells funny with that one. It wouldn't hurt to give him a call, but be very careful with giving any info or deposit on it.

If it smells like a turd and looks like a turd, it's probably BS.

That car is worth almost twice what he is asking.

usually they ask to put the money in escrow...and will want to ship the car...then when you rcv the car, you release the funds.

I offered to drive over and pay cash.

im going through something similar check this out

From: wort285@msn.com

I have attached all the pictures I have of the car, please take a look ..
VIN Number: 1G1YY26E565104112 Miles: 27165
Engine: 8
Transmission: Manual
Year: 2006

THIS IS 1 OF THE BADDEST Z06 IN THE PLANET!! ---- MINT CONDITION! --- SITS IN A HIGH END IN SHOW ROOM FOR DISPLAY --- USUALLY DRIVEN TO CORVETTE SHOWS WERE EVERY BODY DROOLS WHEN THEY HEAR THIS MONSTER! --- CUSTOM BUILT 427 / 7.0 LITER MOTOR BY THE VETTE DOCTORS OUT OF N.J. BALANCED / BLUEPRINTED TOTLA ENGINE PACKAGE CUSTOM ALUMINUM RODS--CUSTOM PISTONS-CUSTOM GRIND CAM AND VALVE ASSEMBLY ANDTRICK HEAD PORTING --- CUSTOM 19 INCH HAND BUILT H.R.E WHEELS AND MICHELIN SPORT TIRES ---- CUSTOM ROLL BAR --- LONG TUBE HEADERS WITH A UNIQE EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH ELECTRONIC FLAPPERS , YOU CAN DRIVE THIS VETTE AROUND WITH VERY LITTLE ENGINE EXHAUST NOICE AND @ A TOUCH OF A REMOTE CONTROL IT BE COMES A 700 H.P. MONSTER! ----- ALL ORIGINAL PAINT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION NEVER ANY TYPE OF DAMAGE ---- ENGINE PACKAGE , TIRES , WHEELS, ROLL BAR ,EXHAUST, TUNING , CLUTCH PACKAGE...
Here is how the process works:
- you give me your [full name,shipping address and phone number,
- I start a transaction on eBay Motors,
- they send you the payment instructions,
- you send the money into eBay trust account,
- they confirm me that they received the funds,
- I ship the car,
- you receive the car,
- they send me the money.

They will hold the money until the car is delivered to you, with properly executed title. You will have 5 days for inspection. If the car is not like described you will have to ship it back in 3 business days on my expense, but I am sure that you will love it.
EBay will get in touch with you for further details and instructions.

I am looking forward to hearing form you, so that we can move forward with this deal!
Regards,
Gerald Early

There is an old saying that states " if it sounds too good to be true...it probably is" is appropriate here.
