have any of you bought a car on ebay before?
since the car can be so far away... did you check it out in person prior to buying or get it inspected prior to buying? or did you just buy it first then go look + pick it up? even with a lot of pics, pictures can be decieving... debating whether i should buy a car on ebay right now... since i failed to find one anywhere near me -------------------- |

I had a good experience buying my 94 GT off ebay. It was at a Toyota dealer about 200 miles from my home. I did a carfax check and it was a two owner car. Then I contacted the dealer to get as much information as possible prior to bidding. After winning the car, I did a test drive and inspection. I found a lot of cosmetic items but nothing major. Also, I requested the inspection report and list of items that the dealer had done. If you buy from ebay, I would look for cars near home, do a carfax, and quiz the owner about the service performed. Ask the owner the name of the shop where the car was serviced and give them a call too.
Plan to spend a few $ for cosmetic items and $$$ for service and maintenance when you get it. So far so good with mine. |
