Default OMG I HATE SCAMMERS!!!!

I found this decent Corolla on craigslist and here's the reply I recieved from the seller. I sware I will run this person over with a caterpillar if I get a chance to. Just when you think that you found a nice car.









Hello,
and thank you for your interest in my Corolla. First of all please accept my
apologies for my late reply but most of my time I am at the hospital with my
daughter because she suffers from a heart disease and I have to be there for
her. I hope you can understand me. The car looks and runs exactly as new.
The titles is clean, and you will receive it along with the car , so you
will have no problems whatsoever registering it there. VIN Number:
1NXBR30E35Z563776 , Miles: 30700, Automatic Trans.

Options: Power Windows, Power Locks, Tilt, Cruise, and a 6-DISC CD CHANGER!
These cars are bult for safety! This one even has front and rear side head
air bags! All the books, all the keys, and both remotes!

Here are the pics of the car :

I hope you are serious in your intention for buying, don`t take it
personally, but I had many problems with fake buyers in the past. So if you
decide on buying the car, I want the deal closed only through eBay`s Safe
Purchase program. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the
money until you receive the car. After you receive the car and you inspect
it, the money will be released to me, in this way we are both protected.
Anyway, the car is available and I guess you could be its new owner if
everything turns out all right and, again, you are serious about buying. I
am located in Zagreb, Croatia. I moved here a few months ago, brought the
car with me, but unfortunatelly I am not able to register it here, as it
has US specs and emission stanards, non compliant with European regulations.
My final price on it is 5500$. If you will take this price, I am willing to
pay for shipping and insurance to your location. Please get back to me
A.S.A.P. if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and
address so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the
transaction details from them.

to all that doesnt get it :

he said he moved to another country, in croatia , the shipping of the car would be more than the car is selling for coming from croatia if the seller ship it here to the us, which the seller said he is willing to pay for the shipping, which would cost an arm and a leg + customs fees and there is no such thing as ebay safe purchase program that he described



edit : ok now correct me if i understood it wrong

I didn't pay, I am not stupid. But there's no way a perfect 05 corolla would be worth 5500 and there is no such thing as the safe purchase program through ebay. I have contacted ebay on this too.
