Yesterday I found this pristine condition car for a unbelievabe price and need some help. There's a few things that raise some red flags though, for starters besides the price the auction started off with no buy it now option buy the seller put in item description buy now for $5500 if I email him directly, witch I did yesterday and the auction was remover from ebay. The seller emailed me this back:
"The transaction will be done through Ebay for our own protection, no money first to me. I am registered with their secure trader department and they will handle the trade. Your funds will be 100% insured by Ebay until you will receive and inspect the item, and I will be sure that I will receive the payment.
You will have 15 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not."
He also told me he would cover shipping from Toronto, Canada. As far as the Canada thing goes the car is still registered in the US and was made for the US market as well as US specs on it. The buyer also tells me he is the original owner and the title is clear. I asked one of my buddies last night what he thought of it, needless to say he was pretty amazed but did point out that it did look a little shady from the lack of a VIN number in the auction listing, witch I asked the seller about and he hasn't gotten back with me on that yet. Anyway I need to give this guy a answer pretty fast so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
