Play along and act interested, see how ridiculous the story becomes.

I'm guessing he'll want you to wire him a deposit. He'll claim it's protected until you "release" it from Western Union. That's false - as soon as you OK the transfer, you can't hold it or get it back.

Ask how the title will be transferred - my bet is he'll deliver it along with the car and then you can decide if you want to pay him the rest of the $27K less your deposit. If you don't like the car, you can send it back free of charge.

Wonder how many greedy suckers they land with these scams. It must work because they keep doing it over and over.
