Selling my van on pistons heads and had this email, something not right here

Thanks for the swift response...I am willing to buy it from you..But due to the nature of my job and location,phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an e-mail regarding it, i will like to know the present condition and the best price..i will not be able to come for inspection,am a very busy type, i work long hours everyday,i have gone through your advertisement and i am satisfied with it ,provided all what you said about it on the site is true.
As for the payment..i will be paying you via the fastest and secure way to pay online,i could offer a Bank Wire Transfer or PayPal cause it is the best way for me to also use my credit card online.I have a private shipping agent that will come for the pick up after the payment have been made ...so no shipping included..Pls get back to me with either your paypal e-mail address or Bank Details so i can make the payments and my agent will also call you to schedule a pickup date and time after payments ..Pls also get back to me with your Full name and address including your Cell phone number.
