Anybody want to see a scam?

I e-mailed this guy about a car ad and I ONLY asked him if the vehicle has a trailer hitch. Here is his complete response (Is Italy a city in Nigeria?):

================
Thank you for your interest in my car.This is a 2005 Volkswagen Touareg Body type:SUV Engine:8 Cylinder Exterior color: Silver,Interior color:Gray,Transmission:Automatic,Fuel type:Gasoline.The car is equipped with every possible option including nav, premium sound, keyless access, bi-xenon headlights with washer system, power telescopic steering wheel, memory seats and seat belts, park assist with rear view cam, 6-disc cd changer, nappa leather seating with myrtle wood trim, 4-corner air suspension, rear locking differential, front and rear heated seats with rear window shades, heated steering wheel,4-Wheel drive.

VIN# WVGZM77L55D054216
Mileage 49,800

Here you can find more pictures of the car: http://s716.photobucket.com/albums/ww165/vwwvtouareg/

(if the above link does not work copy and paste it into a new web browser window).

The car has been well taken care of, always kept in the garage.Flawless exterior/interior condition,no scratches and no dents.It has never been involved in an accident.The engine starts and drives like new and the paint looks great.It comes with US clear title which will be signed and notorized in the buyer's name.Have original manuals and all keys.

I'm an US Air Force Sgt.currently stationed in Italy.The car is here with me. It was bought in the US and shipped to Europe, but it was never permanently registered here, the car is still registered in the US.The car is for sale locally as well, but there are slim chances of this to happen. In order to be able to register this car here in Italy the buyer would have to pay very high import/custom taxes that will double the price. So I decided to sell the car back in the US.

The price is $11,900.00 US Dollars including shipping from Italy to the US and delivery to your home address.So if you decide to buy this car or need further information please get back to me as soon as possible.

I think I've seen this one before, only the claimed location was England IIRC.
