The whole thing is a scam. There is no car, the advert on Craigslist is fake, designed just to get you to use his fake escrow service website and steal your money. Here are some examples of the fake escrow websites.

How does the venmo escrow service work for ensuring secure transactions?
Venmo's escrow service works by holding the funds from a transaction in a secure account until both parties confirm that the transaction is complete. This helps ensure that both the buyer and seller fulfill their obligations before the funds are released, providing a level of security for the transaction.
What is escrow advance to a property seller?
An escrow advance to a property seller refers to funds that are provided to the seller from the escrow account before the completion of a real estate transaction. This advance can cover various expenses, such as repairs or closing costs, and is typically secured against the proceeds of the sale. It helps facilitate the transaction by ensuring that the seller has access to necessary funds while waiting for the sale to finalize. However, the advance must be repaid from the final sale proceeds.
How an escrow clause can be drafted?
First, determine what conditions would cause you to back out of your agreement with the seller after signing the purchase agreement. Write these into an escrow clause, then have an attorney look it over to ensure its legality. Then, both you and the seller must sign the clause.
If money is put in escrow by the seller of real estate at time of closing is the seller eligible for refund of the money?
Refund occurs if and only if all conditions of the escrow agreement are carried out. In the case of an escrow of money from the seller, this is done to make sure that all requirements of the sale, including those that may be hidden or not immediately apparent are carried out. An escrow agreement is a contract. A third party, the escrow holder is involved. Because a third party holds the money, this is not the same as a deposit. The third party is the one who must be satisfied that the agreement is completed. There are specific government laws and regulations on escrow agreements, as well as the principles of contracts. Laws and regulations control how the money in escrow affects financial standing of the parties in the transaction in regards to loan eligability. jp
What is the process for placing a home in escrow?
Placing a home in escrow involves the buyer and seller agreeing on terms, signing a purchase agreement, and depositing earnest money with a neutral third party. The escrow agent holds the funds until all conditions are met, such as inspections and financing approval. Once everything is in order, the sale is finalized, and the funds are released to the seller.
What is an escrow deposit?
An escrow deposit is money put down to hold a contract to purchase real estate. The deposit should be given to a 3rd party such as a realty agent to hold. When you are attempting to purchase a business, you usually put up an 'earnest money deposit' to be placed in escrow. The deposit money does not belong to the seller. The last person you want to give it to, to hold onto until closing (settlement, passing of papers) is the seller! If the deal sours and the seller has already used the money ("Oh, he told you it would go into a special fund? It did...") it may be extremely difficult to get your deposit back. Perhaps in the seller's mind he thought it was his to keep. Give it to a third party to hold! If you are buying a FSBO (for sale by owner) give it to an escrow agent, escrow title company, attorney, or you can go to the bank and set up a special escrow account. (This may vary by state law. I just tried to put a deposit into it's own escrow account and the bank will not let 'escrow' be on the account as it implied they were the escrow agent and they want no liability or part of a dispute.)
What is the job description of an escrow agent?
Before a real estate sale is deemed "final," it enters the escrow process. The escrow process makes sure that property titles are good, there is no outstanding debt, and the buyer and seller have completed their responsibilities according to the real estate agreement. Escrow officers make sure that the real estate sale passes the escrow process.
