The "third party" is the giveaway that this is a scam. You send your money (via Western Union, of course) to "Ajax Escrow Company" or something like that, and wait for him to ship you the car, with the promise that if you like the car then Ajax will send him the money.
Obviously, what really happens is that he runs the Ajax web site out of his mom's basement, and he keeps your money.
Follow through on it a little more like you really believe he has the car, and see if this isn't pretty close to what he tries to pull. As soon as he says, "Western Union," you know 100.000% it's a scam.

Im awaiting an email reply and anxiously waiting on how he plans on "his friend that owes him a favor" to send it to my house...Now that my head is wrapped around this, i started laughing....I will get an email; from him probably soon...
I will keep all updated!

Do not let him see any of your money...
1. Before you have the car.
2. If he even so much as whispers Western Union.

Definite scam. I went through the same thing when I was in the market for a winter jeep. Literally, the emails were almost identical to that. My dad actually looked into it and found the actual jeep for sale at a random dealer out west with the same ad and a price tag 3x more.
