I would only buy from eBay if I could go see the car myself, or if I had a trusted friend I could send to evaluate the car. There is too much you can't determine from pictures on a computer screen. There's nothing to prevent you from searching for cars that are in your state or neighboring states, then actually making the time to go see cars that are especially interesting and that meet your criteria. My friend who does sell cars on eBay for a living says that almost no one ever comes to see the car in advance, and it really puzzles me how many people will make a fairly major cash outley on a car sight unseen. I'm not trusting enough to do it myself.
