Default Good Deal? Need Everyone's Insight!

I am selling my eclipse gst. Had it posted on craigslist. A guy emailed me wondering if i wanted to trade with his 99 Mustang GT. The car is yellow with black leather interior. If the deal were to go down, i would be giving him my car plus $2000. I was selling for $4200. So it would be like buying this car for $6200. This is the info about the car.

DIRECTLY FROM MY EMAIL

Talked to him on the phone, he said he also has a 4.11 gear and eaton posi in it. Said he has receipts for mostly everything except for the Trans.

I'd never trust a guy that was willing to trade his car for an import.

Very true, but i went along that road.. and now im back, lol. He said he needed a car thats quiet and that gets better gas mileage. Quiet cuz he has a new baby, and he needs money too because he is going to be buying a house soon. So idk...
