This seems abit dodgy?

I've put my dads car up for sale on here and had an email earlier which seemed pretty standard.

However I've just recieved this from him:

Hello,
 
       Thanks for the mail, I really appreciate your prompt reply and i'm glad you are selling to me... First,I'm okay with the selling cost, secondly i don't want you to bother about the shipping process,I have a shipping company that handles my shipments,All you need do is to keep the car in a safe and good condition.
 
      I will instruct my staff associate to issue out a cheque for the payment and shipping to you, When you get the payment you are to deduct your £600 for the item and send the remaining funds to my shipper via Western Union or Money Gram to enable him come down to your location for the pickup. I bought some other mechandise too and my shipper will be picking them up also,so they will need the remaining funds to enable them come for the pickup.
 
    It takes 3-5 working days to clear a cheque, so cheque must clear before pickup. Notify me immediately when you get the funds so i will email you with my shipper's information who will be coming for the pickup at your location. "I HOPE I CAN TRUST YOU WITH MY FUNDS"?I'm sure you can await the payment in the mail, It will be sent to the Information as requested below you will provide for me:
Full name... 
Residential address...
City..
State..
Zipcode...
Country...
Phone number:
Cell Phone:........
Home Phone:............
  Can you remove it from the posting and consider it sold to me? I will be happy if you can do that today ok..I will be looking forward to read from you.
 
Regards

Now this seems very dodgy to me, what do you think?

Don't give up. String him a long a bit. We could do with a good laugh. Ask him amazingly awkward questions until he gives up.

Do ignore it, but would you mind sending all copies of the correspondence to [e-mail]? There are things we can do...
