sorry to hear about what you're going through. buying something that expensive from someone with that low of post count is like playing russian roulette (sp?) with your money.
for future reference, buy from a CL sponsor, a CL member with high post count and vouches from other members, and/or a local CL member. that way, you avoid situations like this.

Yeah, that an extremely low post count, I'm weary of people with less than 400 posts and no trader score!
Sorry to hear about this! If you have his address, call his local police department, submit a report for fraud with them.

Agreed with most of the advise on here. That's a really bloody shame that someone did that to you. Sorry for you drama, but I guess it will help us other members be more wary that, albeit we are dealing with Lexus enthusiasts, doesn't mean they are genuine people.
I do live in Texas. Want me to go do a drive by? :P

Texans are not all bad
Hey sorry to hear about the scam. I live in Texas and can say that I would never consider doing that to someone. I recently had an issue on ebay where someone used a stolen CC to buy the item they sent me. I ended up getting my money back through paypal. I hope you get yours back too.

That sucks, I'm nervous to even sell anything via shipping, let alone buy. Anyway, hope it gets resolved. You may also want to update the marketplace thread with a link to this thread just to make sure he can't try this again.
