That may constitute a bad faith attempt to profit from the domain from the trademark holder, and may cost him the domain.

Why is that bad faith? He simply said that it's worth way more for him. Besides, if I were in his shoes, I would fight "bad faith" with "bad faith" - if a company would threaten to sue me, then I would certainly bump the price some 10x or so.

(1) the manner in which the domain name(s) is/are identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights; and

(2) why the Respondent (domain-name holder) should be considered as having no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name(s) that is/are the subject of the complaint; and

(3) why the domain name(s) should be considered as having been registered and being used in bad faith

------------------------------------------------

The issue is registered AND being used. It would be pretty hard to argue that it was registered in bad faith when it is his name. Of course, ask the Nissan guy about this, there are exceptions.
