Actually, according to the terms (which is he allowed to set), payment is due prior to delivery, so no you can't refuse payment just because he can't deliver. You have to pay first, then if he doesn't deliver you can sue for damages. If you don't pay, you are first in breach and he has no duty to provide the vehicle. If you do pay, he runs. Note he never actually needs the car. If the contract said full payment on delivery, then yes you would not be liable to pay until delivery, but that clearly isn't the case here. Which is why I warned ppl earlier about "playful" bidding.
