I'm sorry to hear of this situation and of your apparent loss.

As I read through your post, I began to conclude the same thing as you finally stated in your last paragraph--he sold it locally and kept your money. His reluctance to sell overseas is not typical of a pro scammer as is his being "pressured" to sell to you against his will. This is just my take. Given that, the name he used is likely his true identity and it may be possible to locate him. Whether or not any resolution may come from that is another story.

The information about him and the VIN is helpful for others, sadly at your expense.
