Seriously you should report this to the FBI or state attorney general's office. This guy is a crook and scamming over interstate commerce laws.
To even ask the questions shows you were gullible to want to believe it. Do you know anyone who is going to sell you a s2000 for less than say $13k??? Even then it's usually a salvage or the crap beaten out of it.

Too cheap to be true + wire the money + we'll ship it to you = SCAM. If they agree to sell in person and deliver in person with you picking the car up, check it out. The carfax is clean. Been in the shop a LOT though. 
to scammers.

Same story, someone is dead or going to die
I hope they all die a slow death. I hate scammers.

story update.
i emailed the guy back and asked for a meet so i can inpect the car. and he said " you have to come to italy to inspect it". i replied back that me and my "finace" are going there for a vaction and could be there for a inspection. still waiting to see if he gives me a legit address.

Don't waste your time with any type of overseas sellers. It's definitely a scam. I remember looking into a supra on ebay and they gave me the story that they live over seas in Rome as well. Then I found another Supra but from a different name seller with the same address as the first guy.
These guys use multiple email accounts and names. They probally want you to wire them a couple of thousand then they'll ship it to you and you pay the rest at the port where you pick it up. They have so many people answering there emails. There hoping to hook one person, maybe you, then you'll never see your money.
I'd love to go to that address where there at and give them a good kick in the nuts.
Sorry but these type of people deserve it.

I was just dealing with one of these fvckers on autotrader before. I was looking at a '04 Audi TT that was low miledge. I caught him out by running the VIN number on carfax, he said he was the only owner (which it was 2nd and dealer owned the car).
Anyway, most of the time the car will be a too-good-to-be-true car. Also the seller will be in a different country without access to a phone, company email or such. This guy was driving a brand new BMW 525i(or whatever) but didn't have a company email or a cellphone...yeah right.
Anyway, they tell you that he'll come back to the states and show you the car but you need to put down a "refundable" 1K or 2K deposit in a escrow account. Anyway, you may get your money back but only after you give him your details and/or name/address which he can use to re-route your mail and open credit cards with it.
Either that or just taking all your money outright.
anyway, stay way clear of this unless you actually see the car, and see the seller, and run the VIN number. Also after a couple emails, check back to see if the auction is still up, most of the time they'll take it down after a couple days.
