Have you ever considered buying a car on ebay? I have looked into it but Im a bit skeptical of doing so. You never know if theirs something wrong with the car and its a hidden problem that you don't notice for 30 days after the purchase. One of my friends however, Knows a guy who owns a garge. He buys cars on ebay(local cars) fr $500 - $1500. He fixes them up: New engine, paint job, rims, tvs, radio, etc... He then puts the cars back on ebay for sale and sell them for $15,000 to $30,000 making more than ten times profit. What do you think about it? Would you buy a car on ebay?

I have never purchased a auto from ebay but some friends of ours did. They went about 500 miles away from their home to buy this car. What they did was while the bidding was going on he emailed the seller asking he would email him a form stating that was said about the auto to be true and that there was no other issues with the car. The seller did and my friends won the bid. I guess that would be one way of doing it. You have something in writing.. Good luck if you are thinking of buying a car..

Thats true I never trust ebay. For one story inpatatcular. A guy sees a x-box 369 online he sees the box. It says $500 for it right. So the the guy supposes that the x-box is in it right. Well it wasn't. The guy got so mad he damanded his money back and ebay said sales are final. That is a perfect example why not to by ebay things are not always what they seem.

i wouldnt buy a car on ebay because you never know wat could be wrong with it. If you want the car thats on ebay you should meet up with the person who owns it and see what the car really looks like or if it is any bad conditions
