Ive never seen this before. I got an email telling me an item I'm watching is ending today and it also tells me it's reserve price. On one I got last week for a different car it didn't tell me the reserve. Is this the sellers choice?

Never seen that. Once the point of an auction if everyone knows the reserve price?
Maybe so they can get people to bid 40K knowing they won't win it and the seller lowers the reserve at the last moment and bingo, we have a winner 
I did look at the eBay policy on reserve. It did mention that is a seller lowers a reserve to below the high bid amount that the high bid amount would be reduced to $1 below the reserve and the high bidder would be notified of the lowered reserve and would have to rebid if he wished to meet reserve and buy it. It did not mention anything about public knowledge of actual reserve amount. Said if was up to a seller if he wanted to tell someone who asked. I found it odd it was emailed to me by eBay simply as a watcher (I had not bid on it)
I get up dates on items (cars) that I am "watching", but I too have never seen this.
Note: For some time now, ebay has warned us about, "second chance" notices, that they may be phonies, and to use caution.

Maybe a scam!
