I am wondering if anyone has bought a car on Ebay and what kind of experiance you had?

Answer 1

buying a car on e-bay is worse than shooting your self in the foot,,I'm not kidding you,,i have 2 customers who have bought from e-bay,,and i went with one to pick the car up,,it didn't even look like the car he actually bought ,,and it wouldn't run,,finally when got it to run i wouldn't run good enough for s to drive back,,and we were 2 states from our home state,,we had to have it towed home,,and to this day it still wont run right,,i own a repair shop,,and i think that were going to have to put an engine in it,,and it was supposed to be an 80 thousand mile car,,right now he is so pissed he could burn it,,and feel better about it,,i have known a lot of people that said they got a good deal on e-bay,,but the majority of the ones i have talked to,,will never buy from there again,,good luck,if you decide to buy one,,your going to need it,,remember,,you cant actually see or hear the car run,,or even drive it till its payed for,,and this is bad,,i hope this help,s

Answer 2

I have purchased a Freightliner 18 wheeler, a 2000 Explorer, a Taurus, and a Conversion Van from EBay. I was never disappointed. It is important to do some good research on the vehicle value and ask all the questions concerning the condition of the vehicle. Ask for pictures of the vehicle you feel are important to your decision. Review the feedback of the person you are dealing with. Don't buy right away. Research a number of ads for what you want over several days. See what they are selling for and their respective condition. Then make your decision.

Answer 3

several of my friends bought cars off eBay - two Chrysler minivans, a Mazda sedan, a 1970 Jaguar roadster and a 1969 Triumph roadster. All of them were good purchases. I almost did but the seller and I couldn't agree on price. He came down to my price a month later but I already found another car in the paper. I may buy off eBay when I'm in the market for another car.

Answer 4

my friend bought a corsa on ebay, guy drove it up for her took money and give her a bogus moblie number. When she phoned insurance company they informed her it had been a rightoff and already had a payout. Think that means her insurance wound cost more but if it was in aother crash or was stolen they wound'nt pay out much.
Car itself has replaced body parts on it but she said its a lovely little runner.
So just be carefull and get a full cheak up on car before buying!

Answer 5

I purchased a 1973 VW Beetle sight unseen off eBay.

It was a mistake.

The Seller was a liar.

I would not recommend buying a car off eBay unless:

1) you can live with the mistake comfortably

2) you can recoup your payment to the seller if the seller lies.

Pay Pal was ABSOLUTELY NO HELP WHATSOEVER!

Answer 6

I have bought several things, including cars and trucks off of e-bay. They were all good experiences. But it is like any other transaction, you need to think it thru before bidding.
