Bob,
No need to be paranoid but caution should rule the day. There are many scams going around very similar to your scenario. Remember that nothing is better than cash (Western Union.) Certified and cashiers checks have recently been hitting the banks and turning out to be counterfeit. However, the bank has already paid you after 48 hours and the check takes 2 weeks or so to bounce back.

Mrmustang recently sold a car to a fellow in Germany, I believe. You may want to contact him for some guidelines.
