I think the common scam is that somebody "owes them money" and will
have this somebody mail you a check that is in excess of what you are
asking for the car. They'll say it is the most expedient way of getting
money to you.

They then ask if you could send them the difference - the really dumb
ones will come pick it up.
Of course, the check you were sent is usually forged or made of rubber
so you're out whatever you sent him.

I would just reply, at least until they come up with some caca-meme
payment scheme. What moron buys a car unseen? Once it doesn't feel
right, you can always say no then.
