When you get the VIN, you definitely need to run a carfax on it. Use extreme caution when buying on Ebay, people lie and scam others alot, but you can find a gem in the rough sometimes.
I'm gonna move this over to the classic section, they can help you locate the VIN and give you some buying tips.

RE: first time buyer
i emailed him back
that particular vin is registered to a 2001 HINO FE2620, which is a huge delivery truck that looks like this http://www.truckpaper.com/listings/f...05C06F81AAE566
Why would the dmv issue you a vin that:
a)is already registered for another vehicle?
b)is for a vehicle that wasn't made in this country and is not even close to the original vin?

RE: first time buyer
It does sound pretty fishy if you ask me. But I don't know what these guys hope to accomplish by lying. I wouldn't pay a dime until I saw the car. So if I showed up, and it didn't exist. Then what? How is he scamming me?
