Wow... Don't send ANYONE money for a car. Unless it's a trusted friend or someone super trusted on Ebay. Always go check out the car and test drive first before even considering the buy. Trust me.. I've bought two cars before.
And as for those Honda's, it is definitely a scam unless there is something seriously wrong with them. I just recently bought a 2002 Honda Civic EX with 111,000 miles on it for $6,700 and that's a steal. I bought it way below the Kelly Blue Book value. Fuel efficient cars are at a premium right now, don't let anyone tell you different.
