Sorry, it's a variant of the overpay scam. This scam originated with scammers saying they had a third party check and could you send the difference back. You can read the funny write-up I did many years ago here:
https://www.saabnet.com/tsn/class/scam/
Now, they tell you that they will pay you the amount of the vehicle and the amount of the transport fees and can you forward the transport fees to the transporter. They are hoping you pay them the difference before your bank notifies you that the check is a counterfeit, which, when I tried it, was about 10 days even though the funds were available to me in 2 days.
I also keep this updated scam page too after I started seeing fake PayPal payment email scams.
