this is what he said in his email:

=========================================
Hello,
The 240sx is in perfect shape, no scratches or dings. The engine maintains perfect compression across the board. I have all the papers in order and on my name. The real miles onboard, a great car ready to be yours. It was never involved in an accident or something like that. It is located in Plainview, NY
I dont want to offend you by anything but if we are going to complete the sale we are going to use eBay Purchase Program which will cover the purchases up to 20,000 USD. My price of sale is 5,500 USD, including shipping costs anywhere in the continental US, which is well below this amount. There are no other costs regarding this transaction.
If you agree with my terms, I will need your name and address and I will contact ebay to inform them about our agreement and to start the program to protect us. I want to sell the car until the holidays.
Thank you and i will wait for your email.

Hello,
Ok, I will try to explain it to you. If you want to buy a car trough their program, you must forward me your user name, name and address and i will contact them to let them know about our deal. They will examine the transaction and they will contact us if everything is fine. You will deposit the money to them, and I will ship the car to you. You will have one week for inspection and if you find everything ok, I will come to do the paperwork. After we complete the deal, you will contact ebay in order to release the funds to me. If no shipping is involved the price will be $5200.
If something is not ok with the car, the deposit is 100% refundable so you will receive your money back.

Regards,
Larry Lynch

NOTE: 2 bidders disappeared before the auction ended. after the auction and some previous emails, the seller said:

hello,
You are the only approved buyer for my 240SX. Your details have been forwarded on to the eBay Motors Customer Department and I think that you have been informed by them about the details of this transaction. Now, in order to finish the deal, you must complete the payment process exactly as you have been instructed by eBay. As soon as I receive the confirmation from eBay that you have made the payment, I will have the car sent to you or you can pick it up,it is your choice. If you are no more interested in purchasing this item from me, please let me know ASAP because I have another 2 clients waiting for this item but I need your agreement to sell it to someone else.

Thank you
Larry

Hello,
I got the ride some two months ago from a friend of mine and shortly after I got it I found out I am going to leave the country in January. I will be moving to South America for a couple of years so I don't see why to keep the car. I want to be sure I will sell it untill the end of the year so I'm not asking that much for it.
About the transaction now. It will take way to much time to change the detalis now and I realy want to complete this transaction fast. And more I don't have a paypal account. Also you can locate a Western Union office here : http://www.westernunion.com/info/selectCountry.asp and click FIND AGENT LOCATION. Maybe this will help.

Best regards,
Larry

the car had updated records on carfax a few months ago in florida just about the time the seller states he started to own the car. the title and registration had never been updated eversince. there's no such purchase program through ebay using western union as a payment method. the ebay motor representative name and address for fund wiring had been changed once for "security" reason, so you can see this is pretty much fake.

here's the pictures of the scam ebay motor payment notice email and the car that never exist for the auction. the pictures of the car was requested from the seller by me.
