Going against my gut instincts, I am actually considering buying a car off of Ebay. Particularly, I am looking at Audi Avants - they are not that common in the local paper. Is this a bad idea? Has anyone ever bought a car, say between 12k-20k over ebay, and having it shipped?
It's funny, I would feel more confident buying a teener than a modern car. Any advice? Are there any safeguards that help one not to get screwed? Don't do it? Am I (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) ? |

I bought my 540I on Ebay. Bid on the car, won the auction, flew down to Dallas and drove it home. No regrets at all. It was a nice 13 hour drive home at an average of 109 MPH and the car got 22 MPG. It was a blast.
