The 'buy it now' disappears from the screen if you choose that purchase option.
I don't know this guy from Adam, but this could well be the real thing. Have to wait and see if the transaction completes and what the seller's feedback, etc., look like before I would call it a fake.
If this is the real deal, it might be advantageous (if you are really interested) to contact the seller regarding a second chance offer or a re-list with a buy-it-now. If the first falls through, the seller could offer it to you. Obviously be careful - this is a high dollar item, but smoking deals do occur on evil-bay.

Yes, these are all good points and would make me all that more convinced it was fake. The classic scam involves an obviously too low a price in a Buy-it-Now format to initiate the scam--I see this almost daily when I check eBay for another particular vehicle. Bottom line, we may never know about this car. It really is a too good to be true deal, and because of that, the skeptic in me says, "fake." Of course, smokin' deals do happen so hope springs eternal, and that is what allows scammers to survive.
