Ditto to all that above and confirm that the escrow account company is for real. My buddy almost got scammed buying a high-dollar boat on e-bay via an escrow account that was a fraud. Show up yourself with the cash and make sure what you are getting, or at least a representative you trust. Definitely contact the canadian owner and find out where the rust was and I would confront the seller with the t-boned pic and lack of disclosure. Unless $30K is pocket change for you....
