I got into a rut of reading questions like this on Pistonheads and most said you shouldn't offer any money off as they'll keep asking for more. Explain it's a private sale and block/ignore.
A few suggested to offer a full refund if they returned it, which they wouldn't want to do if they're trying to scam a discount or are "far away". Plus they'd need to buy a ticket home.
Ask for their name, address and bank details. Then if they get aggressive you could threaten to report them to Action Fraud lol. Also HMRC as there's a limit if he's actually privately selling cars.
