It never hurts to be skeptical, and rules are rules; it reads like any other Car FS scam I've seen. You can look at his other auctions as well via the eBay link posted.

Some of you guys are incredible jagoffs. This soldier posts a for sale because he's being deployed including a phone number - a freakin scammer will not do that. Then you beat on him for no membership and the conspiracies about the color of the console. For God's sake - the console is at a different angle than the dash and caught the light differently.

IMO the grey plastic that was used was much nicer than the black plastic of future models. But unfortunately, this was also coupled by the use of a strange basketball-texture surfaces. Overall, the 99s just had a lot of strange textures used in the cabin. Gotta love the full leather though.

Actually, you are incorrect. I read about a story last week with a Toyota, where the prospective purchaser did all the right things in terms of talking with the seller, etc. It was still a scam and she still lost her money when the car didn't show up as promised.
It's easy to be caught up with emotion, but the reality is that scammers are out there using this ruse and the foolish, or unaware, are easily separated from their money.
I did not say that this post was a scam, I just flagged that it was the same routine currently being used by scammers.

...okay, so I got even more curious.
In one of the ads that came up on a google search of the phone number had an email address.
If you google the email address you see that this guy sells a lot of cars with a variety reasons as to why he's selling.
He has sold everything from Buicks to Ferraris. I was particularly impressed with this ad.

This one says that he owns an antique store (dated 10/21/08)

... it's interesting that as an army officer he can afford to buy and trade a ferrari and offer financing.
At the very least this is some that is trading a lot of cars.
