I don't think they will be scared by that.
They will, however, be grateful that you confirmed your email address or phone number through replying.
Best advice is DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THESE PEOPLE. They are good at what they do. They are not just after your money, they want any information you will freely give them.

Oh, for goodness' sake! Please, do not treat this like a joke. Do as k1ooo recommends. You are not dealing with amateurs; the criminal rings behind this scam have been practising it for years, and are adept at extracting every possible drop of blood from your dessicated corpse, so to speak.
People in general have no idea how much information they give away. There is a reason why cold "psychic" readings are convincing; people leak information, and they don't even realise it.
DO NOT ENGAGE.
There is also a reason why "name, rank, serial number" is the only information a captured combatant / military person is instructed to give. Engage, and subtle bits of data about you spill without your even being aware of it.
DO NOT ENGAGE.
DON'T.
DON'T TRY TO BE CLEVER. DON'T TRY TO TAKE THEM ON. Unless you are a skilled and highly trained cyber security expert, you cannot stay in the shadows and poke a stick at the bear. DISENGAGE.
Confirm nothing. Deny nothing. Either reaction will give away pieces of a puzzle. Non-verbal reactions will give away pieces of the puzzle. DISENGAGE, and don't contact anyone selling any sort of vehicle for well below market value. Even the initial contact gives away information about you.
Reinforcing what's already been said - these scams are not just about the vehicle. It's not just about the money. Your vulnerabilities can be exploited and your identity can not only be stolen, but used as part of ongoing criminal activity. That means that mortgages can be taken out on your property/ies, loans can be taken out in your name, bank accounts for money laundering can be opened in your name, and on and on it goes.

See my experience, is slightly different. I found a listing on facebook market place, and was told to email the owner of the car. Similar story and the moment there was something about ebay being involved. I was like ahh nah that's not right, I want to see the car and drive it first before I hand any money and I was like nahh I'm gonna research this. And here I am finding it out to be a proper scam! Disappointing but thankful

COMPLETE SCAM - DO NOT GET INVOLVED.
There have been man of these over the years. Probably the same old story - in armed forces and being deployed overseas etc etc.
Regardless of story, It Is A Scam

Still no idea, after more than 12 years now, across many sites and as widely reported over just as many years over just as many sites
what single part of the scam sounds remotely real in any way, shape or form?
I may as well put an ad on eBay or Facebook Market, or any other site saying I am selling unicorn spunk at $5000 a tube, but you need to wire the money to Nessy who will send Santa to deliver the spunk to a bunker on Neptune
Just about as real as the 'car'

I'm in the market for unicorn spunk, are you able to help? I am wanting at least 20 tubes. It helps with my complexion.
