Default About to buy S2k but.....

I'm not so sure how legit this sale is. Story short, vehicle is located in MA and owner is located in WA and all I've seen so far were pics (I'm in MD).

Here is the thing - seller wants to go through GoogleCheckout, which I've used before to buy small items. He states that going through Google, I'd have 7 days to make my decision if I wanted to purchase the vehicle or not and that this would guarantee him I have the funds available. He's asking for my Google ID so that he can send the transaction information. Does this seem legit?

Last thing, which a buddy of mine just found, there are the exact same pics the seller sent me, on the web for an old sale ad..however the VIN on that ad doesn't match the one the seller provided me. It looks like the vehicle was once on ebay.

Thoughts?

Run - far away.

Find something local that you can see, touch, taste. smell, hear and drive before you share any info about yourself.

Like everyone else said, stay away. The best thing I did was wait and hunt around for a few months. Best thing I could've done. Don't worry, you'll find one you love!
