Default ebay scam again?

for an st220, 05 plate with 20,k on the clock

this is the email i've got:



Hello dojj and thank you for your interest,


I had to pause the listing on ebay because I've almost reached an agreement with a potential buyer. Unfortunately, it looks like there are some problems and he doesn't have all the money to pay, for the moment. Therefore, if you are willing to pay the buy-it-now price 4000 GBP, I'm ready to start this transaction with you.

First of all you should know that the car is in excellent condition, mechanically and aesthetically intact, it's UK model with UK specs and it has less than 20500 miles on it. This is a always garaged vehicle. The exterior is in mint condition, the overall interior is pristine throughout, no rips, tears, burns, stains or worn spots anywhere, NEVER smoked in. The car is HPI clear with no outstanding finance on it.

Although my ebay account was initiated in UK, I'm located in Netherlands for the moment. I spend a lot of the time in UK with business but I have my family here in Netherlands. I took the car with me here a few weeks ago. I'm willing to ship it from here through Sea Cargo Shipping and cover the shipping and insurance fees to your location. The total price is 4000 GBP shipping included. I thought selling this car through Ebay would be a good idea, giving the fact that I need some fast cash to build a new house.

I would like our transaction to be supervised by eBay Motors UK. In case we have a deal I will notify eBay Motors UK transactions department so they can inform you about my reliability and how we can proceed with this transaction in a 100% safe way.

Please let me know your position as soon as possible,

Ken

i would say that i should be running ilke the wind away from this sale, espcially as it's forign and i've seen this sort of post coming up before, what say you?
