I've found a 2005 Acura 3.5 RL car for only...

*DRUM ROLL*

$4400! WHAT THE HECK IS WITH THE CAR?! I sent an inquiry and this is the reply I got:

Hello
I am glad to see how many people are interested in
buying my car .
1st I want to tell you that it is in
immaculate condition and has no scratches on and
hasn't been involved in any accident.
The motor runs very well. the tires are brand new.The
description I had on my ad is accurate. I am willing to
sell it for $4,400 as i stated .if you are
interested please let me know asap as i
don't have a buyer yet .
The car belonged to my brother.Unfortunately he died
three weeks ago in a bike accident.
The car is now in London ,England as my brother lived
there and I am now in London too as I took care of the
funerals.
Because this is a large transaction and due to the
overseas dealing I want to do it with Square Trade's
support . it's a third
party service that holds the funds until item is
delivered, inspected and accepted .
I know that the price is low but I have no use for the
car and I want to get back home as soon as I sell it.
I want to sell it asap so I am willing to pay the
shipping fees no matter the destination.
if you have the money available, and ready to buy ,
please email me your full name and shipping
address so I can send it to Square Trade to begin
the transaction.
I will give you a 7 days inspection period before the
money is released to me.
let me know asap !

I'm of the opinion that it's a scam, like the one in Africa saying you inherited hundred of million of dollars. Interestingly, Square Trade is a legit company from what I can find, and does have a business accord with eBay. Any ideas/opinions about this?

scam, dont do it.

If they are seling it so cheap, i doubt they need to go across the ocean to find a buyer. Sounds way too good to be true

[edit] and someone from england would have much better grammar than that

The most obvious sign of this scam is this:
Why is someone from England selling a brand new car in the Midwest US? Why not locally in London, or even NYC if they think they'll get more offers.
