Scam

I am running an ad on Autotrader to sell a 86 BMW 325es.
So far two identical scam attempts occurred.
First the buyer contacted me through Autotrader. The correspondence is all email. I responded. Then he offered to pay for the full asking price. Next he said he will deposit a few thousand dollars more than the asking price but asked me to deposit the difference to his account first.
When I responded that he is not going to get a cent from me without me seeing the money first there is silence.
The outrageous thing is the second buyer has an email address based in the UK. Now who'll buy a 86 BMW to ship from the US across the pond?
Not all scammers are this dumb. Are they?
