In one word or less . . . No
If you were buying a car, or anything for that matter, would you say to the
seller, let me know how much you want and I will write you a cheque? Don't
know about you, but I know I wouln't.
All you know is that he, supposedly, is a businessman in Portugal, with an
old Portuguese name, WHITE. Nothing in the email saying his full name,
where he lives in Portugal, or what his business name is. All these are
things I would expect from a professional person. I would expect a full
name and location from anyone making a serious inquiry.
This is an old scam. Just presented in a new format.
Like the old saying - if it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.

Hello,
I saw your advert via the internet and i am interested in the
purchase of the " 1959 Imperial Silver Crest Landau Coupe", I am a
businesman
based
in Portugal who is into importation, I have a local shipper that takes
care of my shipping so shipping is no problem, as soon as the
transaction is completed my shipper will come to pick it up.my only
request is if you will accept a cashier's cheque drawn in American
bank, so if this is ok by you, kindly let me know your last price
offer via email and forward me your phone number.Also with your full
mailling address where you will be receiving the cheque....
Expecting your truthfull response.
