Default Scam?

This car is awesome but I am pretty sure it is a scam. Every car that seems too good to be true is either located in the states or they want to use some ebay proctection thing. Whats your opinion?

This is the message I recieved back:

Hi ,
Thanks for being interested in buying my car. It is in a good condition, no scratches,no damages,never been implicated in any accidents,no problems at the engine,runs very well. It has 87351 miles, clear title, a perfect car. The price is not negotiable , $4,500.00 firm. The only thing because i am selling it,because i divorced with my husband and after the divorce i own this car,now as a woman i don`t need it(i don`t have driver license)...we will use only eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection to complete the sale. If you are interested and you have the funds available email me your full name and shipping address.
Thanks.

yea...I have noticed any of the cars I am interested are all in the states....seems like they put them on the Canadian pages so they pretty much HAVE to send the car. Others have done the same thing to me as well. I tell them I am interested in the car (for ****s and giggles) and then they all tell me we will use ebay and I will send the car.....yea ok...lol[&:][&:]

but it is a F***ing NICCCEEEEE car

See if they'll met you in person, so you can look over the car. Just to see.
