She asked for my email that is linked to paypal. Said if I do not have a paypal account, it is easy to set up. Do I have any worries here? Thanks.

Forget about this deal, it's a scam, been around for years.........
Only way to do an overseas transaction is a bank wire transfer.
1: Open new stand alone account
2: Speak with bank manager and get exactly what information needs to be sent.
3: Send this information only
4: Await funds to clear
5: Remove funds and close account (or leave bank minimum so you can use it again)
6: Send car on it's way.
Yes,it really is that simple and yes,it is the ONLY way to do such a transaction.
