I don't think anything you said to them would bother them one bit. They're just pro scammers waiting for an innocent fish to bite and send a wire "deposit." If you said you wanted to see the car, you'd simply not hear from them again.

You can't track them down anyway, because they always use different IP addresses to send e-mails to would-be victims. In that sense, they're much like the people who get their kicks unleashing computer viruses and worms on the rest of the world....very difficult to track down. Don't you think ebay's been trying to find them?

The only real defense here is to keep reporting them to ebay everytime they surface, keep shutting down their listings, so that they figure out their scheme is not likely to work.
