Have You Bought a Car on eBay?

My son bought a Suburban off e-bay. We live in Illinois and it was in New York. It was from a dealership. He ran a car fax report first. Im happy to say that all the worrying I did was for nothing. Its beautiful and was just as described. Also for an extra 800.00 they delivered it to his front door. Which they figured was worth it by the time they would of taken off work to get there and all the way back home along with gas prices and or air fare. Hope your experience (if you purchase one) goes as smooth as ours did. Have a great day. GOOD LUCK

We bought a 1980 Mercedes from an individual in Los Angeles, CA. This was a toy for my husband, so my part of the deal was that I flew with a friend out to LA (I have relatives there that I visited) and then we drove the car back across the country. We had a great trip, and the car had no trouble making the trip, but everything was not as represented on the description.

We had good luck, it's good to find an ad that has lots of photo's and be sure to ask questions if they have not disclosed what you want to know. Keep in mind how far you are willing to travel to pick up a vehicle. (the time and cost involved) With any used vehicle you have to expect some little things to go wrong.

Not e-Bay, but OnLine. I searched patiently for three months checking daily the best sites for exactly what I wanted only to find that the very one was only 4 miles away and in my own home town. God is good.

Yes I have, it was a quick and smooth transaction. Abit scary beacause I'd only seen picturesd of it, but I talked to the owner and asked him lots of questions first.
