Get a VIN, do a carfax. Get pictures, make sure pics match EXACT options he says.

I'd almost certainly say scam though, I'd NEVER EVER EVER buy a car from any private individual overseas unless I know them personally.

Do this. Tell him you will give him 10K for it if he PERSONALLY brings the car over to the United States himself and you will meet him and give him the money. Tell me what he says after you ask that.

Buddy got the same kind of "deal" offered to him from a guy selling Top Notch bikes. I mean we were talking $12k bikes for $4k. He had fun with him fo awhile with emails, and finally the guy started putting on the pressure. It's SUCH A SCAM. Have some fun wih the guy, ask where oit is, and let him know you have someone that can stop by and look at it for you.

"If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true."

Most likely a total scam! Avoid like the plague.

here is the emails between me and him. i'm not intrested. any takers

You can check the VIN to the that the car in is perfect condition,and also has been updated on 2004 EPA and DOT standards,so it is legally to be driven in USA and Canada.VIN WBSBK0339XEC41394 The price is $9500, without shipping fees .I will use Lufthansa Air Cargo,it has Expedited Service , and it last up to 10 days for delivery and costs $600and World Wide Express , 4 days and it costs $980 and the car will be brought on trailer to your address from the airport.,I request a deposit of $3000 and the remainder balance upon inspection,you will have also a 10 days test drive period.And if the car is not suitable for you from any reason ,your deposit is refundable and I will take the car back on my cost.I really need your decision ASAP because I have a lot of offers and i have to make up a decision,I will be waiting your reply with your full info,in order to get the sale documents ready and I will email you the payment instructions,As I have suggested we are both insured so please let me know because we both do not have time or money to waste.ThanksAaron Surber
