So I send them an e-mail:

I'd like to come and look at your El Camino ASAP. I'm in southern RI. Can you give me a phone number to call to make arrangements. What is a good time to call?

They just sent this back:

First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I sell it at this price because i have just finished with my divorce . The divorce was finished six months ago and the car is mine now . After the divorce I had to buy a new house .
Following the financial crisis I can not afford to pay the bank and I decided to sell the car.
This car is in excellent working conditions, with no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage. The car comes with a clear title in my name .
The car has 36521 miles.
From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I only request a secure pay method , I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services.
We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated with eBay and I have a purchase protection account.
The final price that I want for this car is $3450. I will support shipping costs.
If you are interested in buying the car , please give me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through eBay.
I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon.

This smells very fishy to me. How about you? I also saw the exact same ad posted in the Boston Craigs list.

So I just baited a hook and sent them this:

Yes, I am very interested. Where and when can I view the vehicle? Do you need a good faith deposit by paypal?
