Second Chance offers are legitimate. As a seller we often have people back 
out after winning the auction, so rather then getting stuck with an unsold 
item, the seller has the ability to hit the second chance button which gives 
the next highest bidder an opportunity to buy the item at their last bid 
price. I've only dealt with small ticket items and had one person buy it on 
the 2nd chance.  Seeing as it's a car we're talking about, you might want to 
do some checking before exchanging any money.
