scam or sale ?

I have someone wanting to buy my car but there are some very weird aspects to it. Im thinking its some kind of scam :
The buyer only communicates via email
He has not asked about service history or any really pertinent tech questions (he clams its his first Porsche)
He has never seen the car or had a PPI done.
He wants his 'Dad' to come and get it for him because he is too busy with work / school
He agreed to a cash deal
He wants me to leave the NYS sale form blank he will fill out 'later'
Originally he wanted me to deliver the car to his dad in CT. (Im not going to do that because I need to have the notes checked at the bank before 'Dad ' walks with the car)
He agreed to 'Dad' coming to get the car for him. He claims Dad is a doctor and exceptionally busy (this sounds very Nigerian to me but the english prose in his e mails is not ...)

He is getting an amazing deal but I need the space so a car has to go, however I am away for work for the next 12 days and he has been really trying to pressure the deal.
I dont want to be rude and maybe he is just young and enthusiastic about a first Porsche ? ... but OTOH he could be in downtown Lagos.

Im thinking something is wrong at this point.
