That's pretty obviously a scam, when you're talking about a car:
"6. I will send the item to your address and send you the tracking number.
The shipping will take 3-4 days and you will receive it at your door."
I think a B might be a bit over the UPS size and weight limits...
In general, anytime they say "item" instead of mentioning it by name, you
know it's bogus. The real seller would call it a 'car', or an 'MG', but the
scammer is spamming all failed auctions. For all he knows, it's an antique
lampshade.
