Been there...nope...not done that..
A friend of mine got something very similar when he put his GTI racecar on the market. It started off pretty normal, someone just looking for a car and he wanted to get it for a client in a foreign country (which later turned out to be Nigeria)...
After a couple of e-mails, the guy offered to buy the car but wanted to do it through Western Union. Bigtime scams through escrow....
So, nonetheless...didn't happen.
Avoid it like the plague....
