Whoa! Hold on there! Do you personally know the person selling this car? And have you personally inspected the car yourself, in Hawaii?? If the answer to any of these questions is "no" then it's a virtual certainty that this is a SCAM! Do NOT send this person any money! You will never receive the car and you'll never see your money again. The so-called seller is probably in Nigeria or Lithuania. They give you a Hawaii address to send the money to them via Western Union, but WU will release the funds at ANY office world-wide.
There's a good reason why the price is only $2,900. That's the maximum amount of money that WU will allow you to send in a single transaction.
Do NOT send ANY money if the seller is not personally know to you! I'll bet dinner at Ruth's Chris that this is a SCAM!
