You copy and pasted his response, why not do the same with your request and then we could give you a second opinion on whether it had “attitude” or not! |

If you're serious, show it to him starting by calling him rather than via email. It makes a huge difference.

I've had the same thing with this on eBay. Asking civilised questions & requesting further photos, only to get a similar response.

eBay is full of scammers BEWARE? don't travel to far, if you stand in front of the car you can do a better deal than by email? |

I posted about my experience of going to look at a 2013 L406 Autobiograpy which was described as immaculate with a full main dealer service history. It was basically a waste of fuel and a waste of a few hours of my life that I won’t get back...lol

I’ve been on both sides of this situation, as a genuine seller I never cease to be amazed at the type of questions asked & on occasion, rude & aggressive msg’s. with no apparent provocation. eBay transports you into a very strange world of characters.

If that is his attitude before you purchase imagine if you have issues |

Thanks for all the thoughtful responses. It might simply be the case that he got the wrong end of the stick - could have been a tough day in work, who know?

I think I've found the car you're looking at on Ebay. It was the first one that came up in my search and the MOT history mentions upper O/S windscreen damage (back in April 2016), so pretty certain it'll be the same car.
