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) ? |

Hi People...
I was always wondering "why Ebay ? " for 914s Lots of people here buy 914 cars and stuff on Ebay, but I often suspect its from one member to another (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Hy-er end cars and special cars are a cool find on Ebay. I would stay with the smaller dealers, that make thier business from Ebay, they have more to loose then just a bad comment. Us guys in the great wite north don't have the sellection as you southernerz, I can't beleave you can't find a car within 3 hours driving time, on Ebay or elsewhere. Good Luck Later Frank (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
