Default Buying Scam via Autotrader

Just got this e-mail (name etc removed) one of the buying scams Autotrader warm about I presume, made me chuckle surely there is no way this is for real or do people really beleive stuff like this??!! Any ideas on the reply I should send....and the wonderful day I have ahead of me!!

Helloo
how are you today fine i presume i was fortunate to come accross
the advert of the sale of your car on the net,i would like to know if
it is still available for sale and i would like to signify my
interest in the car as it is the exact match i had always wanted
secondly i would like the transaction to be as fast as possible as i
aim purchasing the car for my wife's 40th birthday which would come
up soon ,so i would not want any delay as i still have to ship the
car down as iam an international buyer ,i would like you to get back
to me with the present conditions of the car and pics if possible as
regards the payment i would be willing to pay via a cheque, banker
draft drawn out of a uk bank which i wouldnt mind
to wait till it gets cleared before having the keys to the car i
would also want you to know that iam ok with the price of 5250pounds
and i could as well part with 100pounds extra for you to put the car
in good shape prior to the pickup please get me updated as soon as
possible.
Looking forward to doing business with you have a wonderful day
ahead of you
best regards
