Default He asks some good Q's
I know when I am buying a car I would like a history of the car photos and a VIN to run a car fax. I also do ask why someone is selling the car, "need money" then I make a low ball cash offer. Wanting to know where the car is, I ALWAYS meet elsewhere, my car is however garaged and registered at 2 differnte addresses.

Default My friend got a similiar email from a guy saying
because of his wifes job, they had to move to england.
So they are selling their car in the states.
Once the payment is recieved the shippers wills ship the car directly to his house
what a scam!

Default Sounds Nigerian
Do they have $20.5 million in an account they need to get out of the country, too? You get 20% for your assistance, right?
