Make him use paypal if you must use a wire transfer. This makes him open up his financial records and insures all transactions with a credit card (big credit card in this case) I'd still make him fund you at least 21 days before he took your car.
Good Luck,

I've been through this before. I hope you don't think I actually think this guy was serious about my car and I would accept anything from him. The plan for these homers is to send you a cashiers check for larger than the amount, you cash it send them the extra and they couldn't care less about the car. It happened to a coworker of mine on his Harley. He did accept the check which came FedEx and he took it to his bank and deposited it and even told them he was suspicious. They told him it was a good check. He waited an additional 4 days. That last day the bank called and said the check was fraud. I would never sell to anyone overseas.
