so i found an ad online for an acura tl 2006 for 3g. the guy says hes in spain now for the military, along with the car. it seems to good to be true. hereswhat his email said

"As I know that my current situation is pretty special I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for you 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 inspect it (for 5 days)eBay will release the payment to me; in this way we are both protected. I am located in Madrid,Spain and I was sent here to improve the military relationshipsbetween our country 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 Statesbecause In order to be able to register this car here, I would have to pay very high import/custom taxes. My final price on it is $ 2950. If you will take itfor this price, I am willing to handle the shipping. It will be shipped from here by plane with US Air Military Cargo so it will not cost me anything. You willget it to the nearest airport in your area and then it will be trucked forward to your place. You will receive the car in about 4 days."

This guy is definitely not scamming you. Complete the deal. Plus he is in the military so there is no way he'd scam you. C'mon man.
 
better off giving your money to the daughter of a nigerian king (who suddenly died in a car accident) and help their family out.
