Looks like someone had their ebay account jacked. I reported it to eBay.

well i e-mailed the guy and this is the response i got:

Hi,
I am glad to hear that you are interested about my car.The car is in perfect conditions without any scratches or other mechanical problems.I live in GERMANY.The car has a Clear Title wich you will receive it with the car.It can be registered into your name.Also the car will arrive with all the documentations required for registration.I will ship the car via LUFTHANSA AIRPLANE CARGO Service and I will pay the shipping costs.I bought this car from US but when i tried to register the car in my country they said that i can't register a car that has US emissions.I sell it so cheap because i can't find a buyer in my country.I want to sell it in US because the car is still registered there.I hope you understand this situation.I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate.This deal will happen through EBAY. So if you really want it please give me an email as soon as possible.
Thank you!
