Default Possible scam

I have a car on Carsales and I got this after I returned her first email. Does it look like a scam? Why? The bells rang when she asked for my paypal email. Smells like, looks like?

Thanks for the swift response,
just to let you know that i am okay with the condition and price, i am
ready for it outright purchase and am willing to add an extra $100 to
the asking price to secure the purchase as i am very satisfied with
what i have seen in the pictures which they say is worth a thousand
words Payment will be made using PayPal (i've stopped using online
banking -long story) but my bank account has been linked to paypal so
payment comes straight from my bank account.Paypal also protects you
from exposing your bank account online unnecessarily as all i require
for the payment to be made is the email you used when signing up.

I'll be responsible for the pick-up at your location via a pick up
company and it will be scheduled after the payment has been made.


let me have your PayPal email as soon as possible and if you do not
have then quickly sign up at www.paypal.com.au and do not forget the
final price you want to sell it including the extra $100.00,i would
have called but i am hearing impaired.


I would have really loved to come for the viewing and pay in person by
cash but due to the nature of my work, that is not possible, i am an
anthropologist and as you are aware, Its a non-stop traveling in this
profession and i am currently away for the next 39days, this is why i
use the service of a professional pick up agent which i trusted and i
could have also waited till i am back but i am giving it to someone
who really needs it and must get it within the next 7DAYS!
Many Thanks.

Thanks for anyones input.
