Yes it is a scam. I found 2 similar used car listing that are almost identical.

Hi there and sorry for the late reply.
The car is still available for sale. This is a 2000 Toyota Camry LE, 2.2L 4-Cyl Automatic, ONLY 15K Miles, VIN# 4T1BG28K5YU617089.
It is in EXCELLENT condition; the body and paint are great, no scratches and no dents; the interior is clean; it has never been involved in an accident.
Here you can find more pictures with the car:

I'm an US Air Force Lieutenant currently stationed in UK. And 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. First of all this is a US model car, with the steering wheel on the left side, as opposed to a UK model, that has the steering wheel on the right side. And second, in order to be able to register this car here in UK 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.
As I'm unable to travel in the near future and I don't have anyone back home to help me with the sale I decided to make this transaction through eBay.
So how this actually works? Simple: the buyer sends the payment to eBay and they hold the money until the car is delivered; I ship the car to US; I get my money only after the buyer receives the car and makes sure everything is as agreed. I believe this protects both buyer and seller and it's the right way to do this.
The final price is $2,900 including shipping from Europe 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.
Thank you and have a great day,
Lt. Robert Meyer

Hello....
My name is Sgt. Patrick M. 2002 Honda Civic LX is in perfect working condition.This vehicle engine runs very, very smooth. No electrical problems on this beauty.This detailed vehicle makes the exterior look like it just came off the assembly line.The car has only 75000 miles.

So if you decide on buying the car, I want the deal closed only through eBay's Safe
Purchase program. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money until
you receive the car. ONLY AFTER you receive the car and you inspect it, eBay will
release the payment to me, in this way we are both protected. I signed up for US
military forces and I was sent here with my department for peace maintenance.I am
located in London,United Kingdom 2 months ago, my wife moved here with me and brought
the car with her, but now we have to sell it back in the United States, because we
can't drive it here because we can't register it here; it has US specs and everything,
and registering it here in Europe will take for ever. My final price on it is US 2900$.
If you will take it for this price, I am willing to handle the shipping .It will be
shipped from here by plane with US Air Military Cargo so it will not cost me anything.
You will get it to the nearest airport in your area and then it will be trucked forward
to your place. Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your
e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.
Regards!
P.S. If you need more pics just ask!!!
