OKay, I ran across this on autotrader and automotive.com. Here is the link...
http://www.automotive.com/buy/used/1.../31/index.html
I e-mailed him, and he said due to serious heealth problems he needs money asap. Red Flag! Then he tells me that the car was shipped to the UK where he now resides, however, he has a Eugene oregon cell phone number. Red Flag 2! Then he tell me that he will ship the car and that I can Western Union him the money after I recieve and inspect the car for 10 days. A wire transsfer is Red Flag 3! After asking for the vin number, (the most important part of my e-mail, none was proviided. Red Flag 4!
We should do something to this guy like the guys did with the Powerbook scammer.
Here are his e-mails...

i have talked to the Lufthansa officer once again about the shipping details and customs fees, and he had insurred me that if i would declare the car as a gift there will be no commerce fees charged, and the car is an US model, that is why i was not able to sell it here, and it has all 2004 emissions standards updated so it is legally to be driven in US and Canada, it has the original manufacturer stickers on it and comes with the clear title on your name.,warranty certificate also and the original purchase documents, if you are a serious person and trust wordy i will need your full name and address required for shipping and your full name and address required for the change of papers, my notary will do all the changes, also will come a notorized paper sigen by the power of attorney in wich if you accept the car you are oblied to wire me the established amount in a 10 days period, and if the car is not suitable for you from any reason, your money are fully refoundable. The shiping cost including VTA is 1900 USD, i preffer this money via Western Union because it offers me the chance to ship you the car in the same day that the payment has been made, and i will provide you the tracking number also so you will be able to inspect the shippment route in line on thier web site beeing insurred that the car is on it s way to you, and after you have received it and inspected it, i trust you to wire me the money , i am putting my hole trust in you and i hope everything will turn on well,
i am waiting for your reply asap
