Is his name Guillermo Nomates? Have they moved Cadiz to Nigeria?

Suggest to him that you would like to look at the car when he gets it over to his friends in the UK.

If it were a legitimate sale then the added cost of driving it here and returning to Spain, say £1k including ferry, petrol and hotels etc would mean he could get a UK price which would leave him with approx £10k after expenses (Dunno what the UK price would be exactly). £3k is so ridiculously low that what several people have said, applies:

it sounds too good to be true. Scam.
