Ken: I recently bought a C-300 from a fellow in Omaha and he was as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. He, too had been offered more than his asking price with him then to send some of the excess to a third party for overseas shipping costs or somesuch. It would have involved a phony or stopped cashier's check on the buyer's part and a lost cash advance to the transporter on the buyer's part. An out and out scam that the FBI is investigating. His banker was leery of giving possession of the car on presentation of my cashier's check and recommending him wait five-ten days until my cashier's check had cleared before giving me the car. This was unacceptable to me. In the end, funds were wired to his account the same day my transporter picked up the car and all is well. I kind of thought cashiers checks were like Krugerrands, but they can be phony and also stopped. Run, do not walk from this deal. Your local FBI may be interested in receiving a copy of the guy's e-mail.
