one from a Yahoo auction and one from e-bay. Both times I bought the car after the auction was over and reserve not met. Disadvantage of this is you don't get the "protections" provided by e-bay - of course, I have no idea if those are worth anything at all. I have had good experience both times - no inspections by me or an expert. But you gotta like gambling to do this - all the experts recommend spending the money to get a pro to eval. I don't think I'd tempt fate a third time. Both of my cars were "fairly" completely disclosed in terms of flaws. Of course, I did run carfax checks prior to purchase. This is not fool proof but it has stopped me from pursuing a couple cars with funny histories.
