That's a very common scam these days. The scammer copies the VIN and photos and other information from another online listing, "claims" that the car and/or he are overseas, and asks for an amount that's low enough that authorities won't bother investigating when the bilked victim reports it.

Just try to arrange to see the car in person and see what kind of excuses he comes up with.

Uh huh... they just moved from England, where they could have sold the car for $30-50K, but they wanted to bring it here so they could sell it for $5K. Yeah, right.

You've seen this car posted for sale many times. Let me guess - you've seen it posted for sale at typical NSX prices (like $25-50K, or whatever). For sale by someone other than this guy who claims he is selling it for $5K. Sounds like you've seen the listings that the scammer copied the information from.

Wanna bet that if you contact the guy who claims he is selling it, he cannot make arrangements for you to look at it? Go ahead and see if you can arrange to see it by contacting the scammer who says he is selling it for $5K, and let us know what happens.
