So, I emailed the owner. His reply:

Hello,

First you have to know that the car is available and you just need is to be agree with my condition stated below and the car will be yours.

The price includes shipping and insurance fees.

1.SHIPMENT:I am currently located in Italy and the car will be shipped from here by sea with the cargo ship in a container to

your nearest port so for that I ask you to locate your nearest port with sea access and let me know which one is it, the usualy transit time for such a transportation is 7-8 days, a deposit of 999$ must be sent prior to shipping.

2. PAYMENT:

You will arrange payment through wired transfer (www.westernunion.com).

All you have to do is go to www.westernunion.com and find an local agent near you were you have to go and send the funds or

you can send the deposit online with your credit card at www.westernunion.com, also if you don't have the full purchase amount available right now I can work out a payment plan with $300/month after the initial $999 down payment.

3.INSURANCE

The car will be insured at the delivery service and insured for the transport.

4.RETURN POLICY

As soon as the car arrives, you will test the car and if it does not matches 100% to your expectations, you will return it in max. 7 days since the arrival date. In this case I will send you the full amount back and you will send me the car in the

original container and you don't have to pay the return shipping and insurance.

5.In the 7 days inspection perioud you decide to buy the car send the remainig balance and our deal will be completed.

There will be some paperwork to take care of p! rior to shipping and that is the bill of sale and the odometer discosure statement and for that I will need your name and address.

A sucker is born everyday. Kiss your deposit goodbye if you take the bait.

Even more interesting, if you go to AutoTrader directly, you won't find the listing.

Alienz, where did you find the first posting of it?

alter_schwede, where did you get your info?

[ltcjmramos]

I had alerted AutoTrader to the scam, and they just notified me that they have removed it. That may be why I couldn't find it again.

[Alienz]

This is a scam and it is not the first one. This poor guy lost $55k http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3078503/
