Car sale-fraud

Description

Hi,
I am trying to sell my car on gumtree and I received the following message:
« Thank you for your quick response! i will want you to consider it sold kindly remove the ad as i am willing to pay your full asking price because i need to buy it for my cousin asap, i have read through the advert and i’m totally satisfied with it,sadly i would not be able to come personally to collect due to my hearing loss and I’m just recovering from heart surgery so I’m home-bound.I have a courier agent that would help me to pick it up at your preferred location after you have received your money and i’ll pay you via PayPal today. Where is the pick up location so that i can inform the courier agent about it now? »
It looks like a scam, but how would this work???
