Default does this seem shady to anybody else or just me?

thinking of selling my monte I have it listed on carguru for 16k here is an email I recieved
Thanks for the email, I'm a marine technician and am always busy at sea. I'm contacting you via email because that works best for me as we are not allowed to make or receive calls frequently for security reasons. Presently, I'm on duty and coming to your residence for inspection won't be possible as i have said earlier. I have gone through the add and for what am seeing am highly interested in immediate purchase of it. I'm buying this for my son as a surprise gift and I would love to go ahead with the deal right away. Kindly get back to me with the following questions below:

1)Whats its present condition, any damages?
2)Are you the original owner?
3)Pick up Location?
4)Your absolute rock bottom price?
5)Your PayPal Email ID to facilitate the Payment

Note that I have a pick up agent that will come for pick up after payment have been received which would be through PayPal If this is acceptable. I will be paying you online via my PayPal account which is linked to my bank account because it is the only form of payment that I have access to right now and also because of its good security nature, All I will need is Your pick up location,PayPal Email ID and rock bottom price to effect the payment and if you don't have PayPal account yet, it is very easy to set up and am pretty sure you will love their service, go to WWW.PayPal.com and get it set up,

Looking forward to reading from you,

Thanks.

It's a scam but you can mess with him a little and respond back just to waste his time.
