i don't see the problem tbh, if it's ok then why not just fire it up?
to me the fact you refused would mean there 'may' be a reason!!
I see what your saying.......and I agree with you.....but he has already bidded and won the car...he's had the last 10 days to come and view/listen /look....I was in a rush this morning and didn't have the time for someone to spend time looking at the car.
Once I started it the next thing would be he was looking at this and that...and then start bargaining with me and making offers etc.....
Its just not the way it works!
BUT I did think to my self afterwards that I'd lost the sale because I wouldn't start it.
