Default is this an ebay scam (widetrack sti)

ive just noticed this car for sale again by the same seller (i originally messaged them about 18 months ago about this car as i was interested in it before i bought my hawk) the message i got back was that it had sold..........fair enough i thought.

i remember their feedback being 83 back then and thats not changed at all.

the car now for sale again with the exact same pics used 18 months ago, i lived in earl shilton and i cant remember there being a cars sales place where they say they are based, its only 5 miles from me so i might take a trip over.
can somebody message them asking if the car is still for sale to see their response, it might be innocent and genuine but its all a little fishy to me

i was looking at that car too a while back , he has 9 cars for sale on eBay and autotrader including 2 crystal grey wide tracks , seems genuine enough , maybe he sold it outside of eBay , so no feedback then got it back as a part x and now using the same photos from last time

im not convinced, surely as a car dealer selling cars his feedback would have increased in the last 18 months?
remembering back to when i messaged them and was told it had sold, i remember seeing it for sale weeks later but i had already bought my hawk by then.

Ive been messaging him this morning trying to do a deal on that car but he’s not moving a penny on price, said he’s already dropped it. After reading this I’m not sure what to do now, you say you know them should I trust them?
Thanks.

Top dollar I know but it ticks all the boxes of what I’m after fsh, low owners (2) low milage (78) sti, widetrack, ppp,dccd and standard.

There a tidy looking 05 sti on here non widetrack running 350 or so but been crashed, rotten underneath and has a misfire, think that started up at over 10k
