I am buying a jetta off the craigslist and wondering if this is a scam
method. I know there was some discussion earlier on buying a winter
car, and a discussion a while back about being scammed on ebay. The
car is listed here http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/car/267755416.html
and looks to be a great deal. I have talked with the seller, and hes
going through an escrow company that he has a contract with (the
reason he cant just sell it to me face to face and save costs) through
www.internationalvehicletrade.com. He says i sign up with them, he
pays to deliver the car, i get 6 days to inspect it, if i like it he
flys down (from canada) and finalizes all the paperwork. All costs are
incured on him.

Is this a real method of buying cars, or am i gettings swindeled?
