Discussion
So i make an offer, contact the guy, get blown out of meeting/viewing etc (amongst other odd things he say about car history - tbh sounded like a cock and salesman).
Anyway transpires the car isnt for sale anymore, but was still on ebay.
Wondered what he would say to any other out there about it!
Could someone enquire for me?

This is what was exchanged (PS i think he said he was in marketing - if thats the reason why he's a pecker):
Hi - yes...sorry don't have my ebay linked to email and haven't been looking at there ebay...
The owner has decided to keep her for his son!
Good luck with your search. if you're interested, I know my sister is looking to sell her MG ZS - will be around the same price - £995.

Dear pinkfloyd**,
hi rob,
just wondered really. unfortunatly its just me, im a bit of a perfectionist/fuss-ass....
all sounds good, and i dont need any warranty, just needs to be genuine, which you sounded earlier.
so see you tomorrow.

Dear ,
Hi ,
Received your text message about why it was relisted...
Previously she was entered as a Daewoo catergory by mistake so agreed a refund of fees from ebay to end the listing and pop her back on again as a BMW as that was the only way to do it.
I must admit you seem very cautious and i do wonder perhaps you would be better off buying from a garage that could offer you some form of warranty etc?
If you are worried in any way re the cars legitimacy feel free to cancel the appointment as i honestly believe she will be selling this weekend for min £950.
Kind regards,
Rob

OK...if Saturday it will need to be before 11am as I have a chap from Exeter wanting to come down for 2pm and another from Poole for 4pm - if before 11am it gives me time to cancel their trips...
Bruton school for girls car park would be fine but as you say perhaps give me a call tomorrow so you can be sure she is the car your after...

Hi ,
Tricky tonight as i forgot I have another appointment but I can do tomorrow at 7pm (Thursday)..or Friday.
We can meet at Bruton Town - there is a service station in the town next to Budgens convenience store. I live a mile away in the middle of nowhere so this would be easier. Postcode BA10 0BQ

Dear ,
thanks for your offer but i really can't accept anything less than £800 - and that really is a silly price..
i work during the day and i'm back at 6pm in Bruton if you would like to view then\? Alternatively you can view the car at lunchtime in Shaftesbury..
