    It is more than likely to be a scam.

    If it is through paypay you should be covered if you make sure that payment is to be received before the car is shipped, however, i have read something similar to this and they got no money.

    It is definitely a scam - he will suggest he will pay via paypal and then probably send you fraudulent emails confirming payment, etc. Avoid at all costs.

    PayPal payments can be disputed and reversed very easily. I would not do it.
