dont you think it sounds like one of those scams ? i found the bit where he says "wishing you a wonderfull new year" quite dodgy , or may be i have just totally lost my trust in human kind.

the car is not for sale ,i forgot all about this advert ,will have to delete it.

Sounds like a scam to me. That's just my opinion though. It's worded very similar to the similar enquiries people have got that are known to be from scammers.
