Yeah it leave it well alone for the time being tell him give you a call when he has sorted it and it actually has keys be surprised if anyone else buys it in the meantime with no keys. next he'll be asking you what colour you want

As above,it's up to the seller to get the key replaced then go from there.could be genuine but some sellers don't have the key so u can't hear the engine knocking etc
