I am selling my mini on the website and have had an email from someone abroad, promising to buy the car and there was a detailed message about the process he would go through (this included paying to ship it out etc). As its the first time I have done this I am concerned about being scammed and am unsure of whether to take him up on his offer.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and been successful? or know that I shouldn't agree to this.

Your help is greatfully received.

99.9% likely to be a scam from the format you describe, but post up the content of the email in P&P if you want confirmation.
