I can have it for £400 as the winning bidder isn't buying it....
I've emailed the guy and see what he comes back with
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170012636728&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D170012636728%26fvi%3D1
my max bid was £400

Think he can offer anyone thats bid a 2nd chance offer so he has maybe given all the other high bidders a 2nd chance offer and they have turned it down so your the next one he is trying.

Seems a bit dodgy. You would be better of with a turbo diesel as that 1.4 is gutless as hell.

I'd leave it mav to be honest. Say to him you found a better deal and gat a 1.9 td 
Seems really desperate to sell it and for £400 hes either a fool or he knows its about to die

Or he's got people to bid it up in the mind of giving a second chance offer to the last genuine bidder!
But there was a scam on ebay with second chance offers a while back just be sure it was read in "My Ebay" and not just an e-mail sent out to look like its from ebay!
Seems a good price if all is in order would be a bargain!

just tell him to gtf then or that the only way you will pay for it is in person, and then take about 1/2 the scottish CS regiment along with you!

The email for the seller on ebay I contacted that but no reply..The email I am getting is from another source..
I've emailed saying why western union? why pay somebody in London when car is in edinburgh..
I do not think the scam originates from the seller but a third party.

he has emailed and said he is out of town on business
I said If I can come to edinburgh and pay on collection I may have been interested but no way I am transfering money through western union to an address in London.
