I emailed the seller for more info.. lets see what he/she/they have to say.
It's probably a stolen eBay/email account...

Looks like pirated Ebay account. The other things sold are like X-mas ornaments for a couple bucks each.

sounds like a scam--this is because notice the car is being sold outside the US. no one in their right mind would sell this car under 10k. I've seen similar scams and they are all overseas or outside the US. And I guarantee they will get you to Western Union them the money. Thats how they always go. Besides, when you ask questions, they will try and avoid them--example: why are you selling the car? They love to avoid that one. And will say something like they moved over seas and the car doesnt meet the emissions in their country. Don't do it--but I would try and screw with them.

Even though the ad was removed--here is his reply to me:

Hi there,
First I want to tell you that I already prepared the shipping of the car... all you have to do is to make the payment confirmation and I will start the shipping of the car to your shipping location.
The price of the car is C $8700.
The car will be shipped via Lufthansa Air Cargo from Nantes, France, where I'm located. I will support the shipping cost. When I will ship it, I will arrange for all the dutyes and that why you will not pay any customs when you will receive it and for this, it will be delivered directly to your address.
I want to make the deal using a third party. I am affiliated at eBay Square Trade and I have a purchase protection account for USD $20,000 and I assume you know what this means:
If you will not receive the car as I described to you, although this is not the case, Square Trade will refund you with 100% from the whole amount which you paid me. Even in case that you will not receive the car, they will refund you the money back.
You can send the money to my name and address but you will not give me the details from the payment. You will give the details to Square Trade. They will verify the payment and if is O.K. and the money are availble under my name they will notify me to procede with the shipping. After you receive and see that the car is the one you want, you just notify Square Trade to forward me the payment details in order for me to pick up the money.
Let me know if this is O.K. with you, so that we can go forward with this deal! About the payment Square Trade will manage in my place the financial details.
Thank you and best regards!
P.S. I need your full name and shipping address in order to contact Square Trade to start the deal. They will provide you with more info regarding the deal.
