Yes, his problem.
Why should he trust you??
After reading all the posts in the scammer section of this forum I would never wire money to someone in advance.
Is it possible to trust anyone over here if you are from outside US?

I know a few people bought cars from the states. When they arrived they were rusted out pieces of shit. Nothing like the ads. When I bought my drag car, I flew to Alabama and test drove it at Montgomery before making a bank transfer. The car was loaded on a transporter and on its way to LA for shipping before I left. It was 33 hours of flying in each direction and about $3,500 but worth it. Woulda cost me a whole lot more if it was a scam. I would never buy a car off Racing Junk without personally going to see it first.

Thanks Guys,Iwould feel the same way,Iwould never buy something if I couldent go and see it myself.I wish the guy could do that,but he said that he dont have time.but still I'm not letting my car go anywhere unless the money is in my bank.Ive sent pics and awnsered every question he ask and he seems happy so maybe when he gets the car he will feel the same way..
