Anyone else think this ebay 16v shouldn't be idling with the economy guage in the red?

Also what's the deal with asking for a non-refundable £500 deposit within 48 hours? What if the car isn't as described?

Low engine vacuum is a sign of poor engine combustion or load!

Does the car have an auto trans & was it in gear?

It's a manual 5-speed so probably unlikely to be under load while photographing for an ebay sale.

I wouldn't suspect too much if the economy guage was just off the peg.. but right into the red?

Perhaps, just perhaps, your first question answered your second. Even if the buyer backed out the seller maybe could fix the problem!

The ol' two step!
