Yep, scam. Analyze the auction:

1) Has the "I cannot get in touch with you using the Ask a Seller option"
2) Description is an image file instead of text

Ask him if you can see the car, tell him you are local. I bet you $5 its somewhere across the seas and its getting transported right now, therefore you cannot see it.....
Bottom line, it's a scam.

Whenever you see something like this on Ebay:

"I cannot get in touch with you if you use the "Ask seller a question" option, so please e-mail me directly. My ebay contact is currently unavailable because i've reached the e-mail storage limit and i wouldn't be able to answer any of your questons. This is my e-mail address:"

... whenever you see something like that, know that it's a scam. I mean, come on. How stupid could you be to fall for something like that? He/She wrote, "My ebay contact is currently unavailable because i've reached the e-mail storage limit ..." Well, why not delete all the messages and open up some space? Simple fix. Using Ebay for messaging the seller is a great validation that the buyer is legit.

I can't believe people fall for this crap.

Number 2 is a good catch. Scammers do this so that the Ebay filters won't catch the typical fraud words. Man, these scammers make me sick.
