How safe is it to buy cars off ebay?
I never thought of buying a car off ebay. I was searching for a car part and then was scaning through cars for sale. What a deal! Problem is some of them almost sound too good to be true. I mean if the seller has 100% good feed back and they give history/details about the car and are willing to answer any questions, what can be the problem? Has anyone actually bought a car off ebay and were you happy with it? Can anyone give me tips on buying a car off ebay? Thanks!
You can get a good deal off of EBay, and you can have problems. Unless you are looking for a specialty vehicle, limit your choices to vehicles that are close enough to inspect prior to bidding. Go and look at the car that is being offered!!, If you are seriously interested in it, you may want to see if the seller will allow you to have your own mechanic check it out prior to bidding.
Do not expect a car to be perfect! The seller may try to describe the car well, but they (and pictures) can miss things. Ask a lot of questions and be sure you want the car before you bid!!!
Allow for the cost of getting the car home, and any inspections that may be required to register it!
