Default i need help guys, to good to be true?

okay i'm trying to sell my car.. and i got this email from an Auto dealer in Europe and i'm wondering if it's legit.. it seems to good to be true, i'd never expect to sell my car for $13k here in the states:

Sir/Madam.
I am Andy Cole,Internet manager for Andy Cole autos,7-8 Cavendish Row Upper O'connel Street , Victoria Garden,Dublin.We specialise in purchase of Autos and electrical electronics for customers here in Europe,and we get paid in commission,after payment has been confirmed by the seller to the buyer.I write you on behalf of our client to contact you and arrange for the buying and shippment of your vehicle which our client saw on the internet,we would like to know the conditions of the said vehicle and probably arrange for payment to get to you and shippment.
My customer interested in purchasing your car mentioned above for
the sum of $13,000,and we will arrange for the pick up of the car once
payment is confirmed cleared by you. Please acknowledge the offer and we will inform the buyer of your confirmation of acceptance to sell and have the funds remitted to you as soon as possible ,and i'll like
this transaction to be kept in utmost trust.I hope you can
understand. Our office is located in Dublin,as stated above.
Thanks,
Andy.

It seems to me you get the cash first, so who cares...

Interesting. He quotes he is a business. I guess you could do some research on the company. I suppose that would take a long time since it is overseas though. Maybe you could ask a lawyer

Strange. My friend who was selling his 91 Legend also got a similar request. Someone from Tanzania e-mailed him asking about paying him top dollar for his car. He ignored it.

well I mean if you are gonna sell the car and you get the money that they say, the $13,000 just make sure its actual cash and not a cheque and I really can't see anything wrong. I mean if you get the cash first what can go wrong?
