To be fair and clear, I see neither party as scammers, but rather an exasperated seller, wise to the 'moves' and shenanigans of buyers, and your friend, with good honest intentions, but ignorant of the hassles of a private car seller.

It's quite possible that the seller added the terms about payment within 2 days etc. as a response to receiving messages from the potential buyer proposing to pay and collect sometime later. I have done this in the past after receiving messages from people that I considered unreasonable.

Nor do I, but given that the OP has posted suggesting the seller could be a scammer, one must consider all the possibilities, including the possibility that the situation is of a possible scam seller faced by a possible scamming buyer and his scamming support i.e. friend. I find this scenario analytically more interesting! Quote:
Perhaps someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought any additions to an ad made after a bid has been placed are highlighted by placing in a separate section.

Right last comment promise!
Neither do we however, no address & no communication so would you forward payment of £1000+ after an offer of a negotiable deposit with collection this morning. If was me I would not feel to good explaining this to my wife that I had given £1000 to someone who I have no address for and no contact phone number. If he is genuine and as said all along could be he will sell the car to someone, it looked a good buy at just over £1000. |

I do hope that those who could see it as a scam or a possible scam on a public forum will return and acknowledge their failures of judgement and stature.
