Hi Mark, There are some red flags that you are often warned about, such as using a check or money order from abroad that appears legit on first sight, but two or 3 weeks later your bank calls that the piece of paper is worthless. The most often occurring form of that scam was that they sent you a too large payment, to cover the cost of shipment and honest sellers would send the buyers a personal check or cash for the overage. So, after all was said and done, they were out of their car, and shipping costs and whatever cash or check they sent to the buyer, only left with a worthless piece of paper. So, if the type of payment you receive is not a guaranteed type of payment (please ask your bank to confirm!) then you must wait a *loooooong* time before even shipping your vehicle!
That said, it is possible that a (foreign?) buyer absolutely wants to have a nice looking Ghia and then 3 grand is a bargain, EV or not. So, it is possible that it simply is someone with more money than realization of what an EV is, he simply wants a nice looking car and someone will take care that it runs.... I hope you find out soon what the intent of the buyer is!

I just sold my Ghia evalbum.com/4346 on EBay for $3335. The guy doesn't ask anything about EV operation when I've sent a fair amount of info. I just get misspelled notifications like the transporters will be soon pick up. Last night I was requested to give my pay pal account number which I replied with my email address was all he needed to pay or click on the ad to pay by PayPal. Now he says he's mailing a bank check instead. When I call his number I just get some breathing and then hung up several times. He doesn't appear to be an EV enthusiast but hopefully the check will be ok. I'm buying a Chevy Spark EV in Maryland Friday to go along with my Leaf.
