OT Anyone ever bought a car through ebay motors, seller says money stays in escrow and car wil be delivered Options

It sounds really fishy. Seller has the vin number and a lot of pictures. Price is too low for what it is. He says car will be delivered to my house, I have 5 days to test drive and I can reject if it is not what was promised. Money stays in escrow with ebay until I release funds. A lot of weird reasons why I can't see it before. he says he started to send the car to the previous purchaser but his loan didn't go through so it's stuck in transit warehouse in Naperville, IL so I can't do a pre-inspection. Car originates from Denver. Just red flags all over the place.

I know the old adage, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". I'm looking for someone who has bought a car through e-bay and done this ebay escrow thing or ever heard of it.

Car in question is a too clean, 1989 911 turbo for $17,750 with 100K miles. Says it runs like new, leaks no oil and never been in am accident. Going price for this car is at least $30K but you all know that already. Oh yeah and it's a convertible.
