Auto Scams

I am searching for a vehicle on Craigslist.com and I have found a Toyota Tundra Crewmax that is an extremely nice truck for an outrageously low price. When I emailed the seller they said " I am in the airforce in the UK and the car is over here with me but is still registered to the US. I will pay for the S&H to the US. You then have 10 days to inspect the truck and if you don't like it I will pay for the S&H back to the UK." He then gives me a final price which is the original price and a name. Does this sound like a scam. Does anyone have any information on how to pick out auto scams on Craigslist.

It sounds like it might be a scam.  I would definitely not send any money before I saw and car, and I don't believe the seller would be willing to send the car here before you pay for it.  Once you pay for it, there's nothing you can do when the car doesn't arrive here, and you have no way to go after the seller. 

Sometimes we put up walls not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.
