anyone that tries to get you to pay via ebay "secure" checkout when the item is not being sold through ebay is scamming.

Carfax is not a sure thing. I had a serious accident when a lady rammed my SLK32. 18K worth of damage and it never showed up on carfax.
The best way is the way you already suggested. Have them do a PPI at the local Porsche dealer.
Sounds fishy, but good luck

Go check with some Porsche dealers in your area and see what they have under their CPO program. Unless I knew the owner I would have a hard time buying from a private party. Parts and labor too $$$ at stake to make a hasty decision.

If he really wanted to sell the car, couldn't he go to any dealership and offer a cash sale? Even with the crappy economy, any dealer would be insane not to take the car (assuming its in good condition) for 10k under blue book.

Looks to be a scam. The city says Stockton, CA and the phone number is not an AZ number. If the car is really in AZ, tell them to bring it here for a free independent inspection.

Ebay does not hold any money for 10 days - they never touch the funds actually - they are not a trust company, just an auction company... Definitely a scam - RUN!
