This is the exact same scam mentioned on this website as well as many other websites.
I have reported this person to Canadian Anti-Fraud and want to make sure everyone is aware.
"Shane" has a 2010 toyota corolla posted on autotrader and wants to sell it for around 1/2 of its value.
Here are the emails sent back and forth - We did not fall for this dipshits attempts:

Hi,
The vehicle is still available for sale, price as stated in the ad $8200. It's in perfect working order, no wear and tear, no scratches, it wasn't involved in any accidents. I moved to Spain with my work but I left the vehicle at a shipping company in Thunder Bay, Ontario. All shipping costs and insurance during transportation are included in the price, I won a promotion (1 free shipping). You will also receive all necessary documents in order to finalize the purchase. Email me back if you're interested and have further questions.
Thanks

The vehicle is in Thunder Bay right now then? I would not be able to test drive it?

Yes, it's in Thunder Bay. Look how this works:
1. I will contact eBay and give all the info about this deal.
2. They will send us the forms by email - for you about the payment.
3. I will send the vehicle to your location and you will send the payment to eBay.
4. After you will inspect the vehicle and decide to keep it, they will transfer the money into my account.
RETURN POLICY:
If by any reason the vehicle is not as described, or if you find any problems with it I will pay for the returning fees. I'm sure it won't be the case because the vehicle is in excellent condition.
As soon as the vehicle arrives, you will test it and if it does not match 100% to your expectations, you will return it in max. 5 working days since the arrival date.in this case you will send me the vehicle in the same condition you received it.
The estimated time of delivery is 2 to 5 days, with no scratches, it is professionally crated.
Please provide me with your full name and shipping address so I can register the deal with eBay.
Thanks
