Default Legitimate? 2006 TL for $6500

Here's the ad:

http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=&ni...view&ad=921040

Here's his response when I emailed him.

Hello, I'm Sgt. Mark Soburn.
Regarding the car it is in perfect working condition. This vehicle engine runs very smooth. No electrical problems on this car. The title is clear no loan or lien to be paid.The car has
41,500 miles on it.
As I know that my current situation is pretty special I want the deal closed only through eBay's purchase program in order for us to be 100% protected. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money until you receive the car. ONLY AFTER you receive the car and you inspect it eBay will release the payment to me; in this way we are both protected. I am located in Valencia, Spain and I was sent here to improve the military relationships between USA and Spain. One month ago, my wife moved here with me and brought the car with her, but now we have to sell it back in the United States because we can't register it here; it has US specs and everything, and registering it here in Europe will take for ever. My price on it is US 6,500 $.
If we reach an agreement, I am willing to take care of the shipping to your address. Shipping will take 10 days maximum. I have managed to obtain a low cost shipping, only $600 and I presume it would be fair to split the shipping cost so, we'll pay $300 each. Meaning, that the car and the shipping/handling will cost you $6,800. I think this is reasonable.
Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.

Regards
Mark
What would you do at this point?

Shady.. very shady.

he will probably ask for the 300 shipping to be wired to him (not via ebay), and then you will never hear from him again.

Schucks. Guess I'll go for the CRX. Would have saved me a G this way though.
