 Yup, Scam for sure. He is sending a check and then you are supposed to pay someone else for the inspection from money he has sent you, and he will never buy the vehicle because the cashiers check will come back to you as invalid and you are stuck paying all the costs to the bank and out the money you paid out for the inspection for him.

Time to not ever answer or say you will deal in person with cash only. Then he will terminate any dealings with one reason or the other.

   Okay guys and gals,

   I need your help with this. I have my Eight Door for sale and 
received an e-mail after sending pictures to him at his request. My 
issue is does this sound like a SCAM to you. It does to me. What if any 
are your thoughts and how should I proceed with this. The van is 
advertised on the CORSA site, so I guess that is where he acquired the info.

  Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Mike Emanuele

Hello Michael,

Thanks for the update e-mail i do appreciate it..I'm a Marine engineer 
from GA but 'm off shore at present
Your asking $11,000 is fair which i will like to make an initial deposit 
so you can be sure i'm very much interested..
I shall contact an agency to come over and inspect since i'm off-shore 
as i do not know its present condition before i can send your 
balance..As for the deposit payment,my preferred is a US cashiers 
check..its guaranteed and shall be easily cashed..Being off-shore,the 
agency owns the balance to the deposit check so you keep $1,100 for the 
deposit,the fund left on the check is for the agency you send it out so 
that they can be in your location for inspection cos they making other 
vital inspections and deliveries for me..
You provide me your full name,address and phone # so that the check can 
be mailed to you..
I shall be back in 3 weeks,but then my regiment will be deployed to Iraq 
and I shall stay there for a while.
You would have all your money in your hand after inspection is completed 
before title is released and shipped okay..I'll give you a call once i 
get onshore like wise the agent so that all arrangement could be 
intact..The best way to contact me is via email as I'm always running 
around with things..
