I emailed the owner and told him it was sold at this price! Waited for the dodgy return email and this is what I got.
Hello,
The car is in excelent condition as you can see in the
photos.
It has a CLEAN TITLE a great history and mechanically
without any problems ever safety check
and pre-delivery inspection along with a fresh
servicing before I ship or deliver the
vehicle.I always kept it in my garage,away from bad
weather and it looks gorgeous.
The Vehicle is currently located in Milano,Italy since
Jan 2008 and I will arrange shipping from here on my
cost.
The problem is that meanwhile I had to move with my
family in Italy.
Unfortunately I am forced to let it go you see, due to
my job I had to move and I just found a great house
offer.
The thing is that I have to make a deposit so I can be
sure that I won't loose this offer.
On the other hand, I hope I will find someone who will
treat this baby like I did.
Shipping can be arranged whit DAS(airfreight) and it
will take no more then 4 days.
I have a friend there who will manage me a low
freight price and I assumed that it is my duty to pay
for it.
The Car will be delivered directly to your address
through escrow sistem.
We can use an escrow agreement to facilitate payment
so that we both can be protected.
http://www.escrow.com
Escrow (Definition): "Money held by a third party
until the conditions of an agreement are met. For
instance, pending the completion of a purchase, the
payment for the goods will be held in escrow.
I will also supply some more pictures as soon as i get
home from work.
The internet strikes again, just a chance for fraudsters to make a few extra bucks.

there was a similar advert last year only the guy was in greece...
My friends nearly got scammed with an ad for a nearly new mazda, the phone number was wrong so she emailed, the reply said the owner had a speech
impediment and was embarressed to talk on the phone, and to see the car the first person would buy it, so they would need to put a $2K down in order
to view it...... so dodgy.

I just replied with
When it arrives I will come and buy it and pay the money but not until I can jump in and drive away.
Amazing how anyone could fall for it.
The old saying I guess
"If it seems too good to be true it probably is"

I had this a while back on egay. I dragged it along untill they were saying they would ship the car from England in less than 24hrs, all I had to do
was pay the money!!
Then I told them my solicitor would work as an independant escrow agent and hold the moneys, and that was the end of transmission...... I wonder
why????
Since then I've scene it half a dozen times or more.
Always on a "too good to be true" bargain
