I have been offered to purchase a car from eBay which is already stored in an eBay warehouse and all I have to do is give my name, address and phone to have it delivered for up to 10 day inspection. Is this legit????

No, this is a scam. There are no eBay warehouses, eBay does not ship or store anything.

They are offering 10 day inspections now, it's been 5 days forever.
It's an old scam, there is no vehicle, there is no Ebay warehouse, just a thief that wants to steal your money.

eBay doesn't handle payments on vehicles. They never tell you how to pay or to pay with gift cards or prepaid credit cards or other unsafe methods.
eBay doesn't store or ship vehicles.
There's no inspection period. Vehicles can't be returned.
Forward that fake email to spoof@ebay.com and report the fraudulent ad on the site you found it.
If the price is too good to be true guess what?

This is a common scam, and you are dealing with a criminal who is trying to steal your money.
eBay has nothing to do with listings on other sites. If the item isn't listed on the eBay website and if you don't purchase it through the eBay listing, the transaction has nothing to do with eBay.
