Whats this guys game here?? Or is it scam?

[SSC!]

Hey folks,

Currently got my car up for sale on PH. I have done my research and it's the cheapest on here and Autotrader. Today this email arrives, the insulted side wanted to bash out an email but thinking about it I'm wondering is this a new type of scam as I could not find anything via searching his email to suggest legit.

Thoughts?

(if the link does not work copy and paste it into a new tab window)

Can you please let me know what is the real price for it? I saw your add on Piston-heads but another seller has the same car up for sale at half your asking price.
Regards "

Not found anything, not many of these cars about. I did think perhaps the guy maybe saw a bog standard yellow one, but if he did then why email me?

It's a well known scam, AVOID AVOID AVOID.

This is the second thread, about the same scam, in about 6 weeks.

Edit, found the other thread.

?? That men can think or if it was a scam.

I find PH the fountain of all knowledge so needed to have it confirmed by the dectives first before I stupidly emailed in anger.
