Default Possible Scam??

My husband has been looking for a new truck and I came across one on ebay that was selling pretty cheap and I emailed the person in the ad. First of all they said that for "some reason" they could not receive the ask seller a question through the add and to email them directly. What was suspicious is that for the truck vin # they put 111111111. Pretty fishy right??? Next I emailed him and asked him why he was selling it so cheap and if it had a salvage title and so forth. This is the response I got to this email:

Hi,
I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me.Although I am registered in the US, but I recently moved in United Kingdom (where my family is from ) and the car is being shipped from here.
I bought this car from US and i want to sell it in US because the car is still registered there.You don't have to worry because the car will come with all documents that you need for registration.Also the car is still registered there so you don't have to pay any import taxes or any other fees.You will get from me the keys the title also a bill of sale in your name and signed by me.I made the auction for US due to the fact it's US version (left handed), meet all the US standards and also because here in United Kingdom is very difficult to drive this type of vehicle,A left hand drive in a country where all the cars have a right hand drive. I sell it so cheap because i can't find a buyer here in United Kingdom.I want to sell it in US because the car is still registered there.I made the auction for US because nobody wants to buy it and so instead of keeping it in garage I decided to sell it to someone back in the US.The car is in a perfect cosmetic and engine conditions, and meticulously maintained. No damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, runs and sounds awesome, the engine has never been repaired or something like that, never been into accidents and it is as advertised .If the car is not how i described it, i will offer a full refund, upon the return of the item in original condition (return postage at my expense). It will be insured during transportation and will be delivered at your front door in maximum 2 weeks.
Final price is $ 7,500.00 (this price includes the shipping and insurance).
I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate,the financial part of this deal will be manage by a third party ,in this way both of us will be protected.So if you really want it please give me an email
as soon as possible.
Thank you!


I am thinking this is a BIG SCAM!! Can someone else tell me what they thinK
