A friend of mine in Italy received similar English e-mails for a Chevy blazer he is trying to sell. He replied with best price and heard no more.

The one I think is definitely a scam is the one another friend (buying this time) on replying to an ad for a car for sale in Italy with the seller in England. The seller first tried asking for a 5% refundable deposit to arrange to see the car as he was trying to weed out time wasters as he had to come from England to show the car and when that failed he tried to have his flight paid for by the viewer. We've since seen this one a few times in Italy with an English seller selling a recent car in Italy. However, the English seller misspells his name, writes atrocious English and is almost uncontactable.
