if he mentions a 3rd party payment for more than the asking price it's a con.
but if it's 100 true, agree a price - you want a balance transfur, nothing else.
it could be a twist on the 'nigerian scam' or 419 scam as it's known.
Google a search on those and it'll be explained.

Notice they never mention what your vehicle actually is - or the colour, or any other specific details come to that.
Thats because they copy and paste the same advert to hundreds of daft twats that read them and think they are onto a winner....
File it in the bin
