This is (somewhat) amusing. I did, in fact, offer to drive up with cash. And he wrote back saying that while the car was in Kentucky, he actually lived in Hawaii and therefore wanted to go through an Ebay Motors agent supposedly in Chicago (via western union payment only) and that Ebay (not an escrow company) would hold the money until I accepted delivery of the car...shipped anywhere in the US within 2 days. This is my first big encounter with such a scammer...boy would I like to find some way to have him appropriately - uh - detained.

Too good to be true is usually too good to be true. Tell him you want to pick it up and pay in person, see how he replies. Note that note was not a reply to yours but an independent message!
