Thought I would have a bit of fun with the guy as his English is quite bad... (read his message first).

Peter,

I do not have time to be sending money around the world, if your
daughter wishes to have my car (which is very high powered) I would
suggest that you send me the amount i require and nothing more or
less.

I will require a UK address and number for the DVLA, they will not
accept an address outside of the UK.

Otherwise, may I suggest you buy her a Civic Type R or something,
because they are the fastest car ever developed, ever.

Cheers,

What normally happens is that they put a massive offer (over the asking price) and send you a cheque. You cash the cheque and wait a few days to clear. They will then request the remainder of money back, so you send a cheque and the goods back to the buyer. They cash your money and receive the goods.
A week or 2 later your bank will be in contact with you stating that the cheque is a fake and you loose that money as well as the money you sent back and the product.
Very good if you ask me, I can't believe people fall for it but trust me they do.
My gf works for lloyds and she regularly has customers in tears stating that they have lost £1000s to these scammers.

The think that catches the people out is that they think a cheque is cleared after 5 days but really it hasn't

Hello Seller,
My Name is Peter.
I'm a citizen of United Kingdom,but I have all my business with my family in United State of America. I have the intention of purchasing your advert for sale. I'll pay you with a UK cheque,and wait for the pick up once the transaction has been sealed. If this is okay with you,do get back to me with your LAST PRICE so that I can forward the payment to you.
Regards,
Peter.
