My girlfriend bought her Jeep CJ7 off ebay from a guy halfway across the country with no troubles. I was pretty nervous when she sent off the payment for it, but the transaction went smoothly and he had the jeep shipped here. Even with the shipping it was cheaper than anything she could find around here. Especially with a freshly rebuilt 350 in it. :thumb:

I don't think I'd recommend buying something without seeing it in person, though. She got pretty lucky that the guy was honest and the vehicle was as advertised. If you could find something local it might work out okay.

What kind of car is it? What year, milage, options? I can at least tell you if it's a good deal.

BTW car fax is almost useless, it's not a bad idea to run one but i've seen many cars that were in accidents with a clean carfax.

I bought a quad off ebay not too long ago, got it shipped for 150. It was a good deal and the guy was honest. I recommend paying with Paypal or your credit card so you have some kind of protection in case something goes wrong.

its solid if you go through all the precautions when doing it ie all the background checks not just carfax.com. also call up a local mechanic or find an internet buddy to go check it out and take it to a mechanic for you. i know tons and tons of ppl who got awesome cars off ebay and others who didnt spend the time and resources on it and got a beater

Well, I must say that this was the most seamless transaction\purchase ever. The guy picked me up at the AirPort, drove me back to his place to get the car.
Hooked me up with 12 qt of oil (5w20 mobile one). The car is spotless...

Why would he give you 12 qts of oil? That sounds like a bad omen to me.
