I would buy a car on Ebay, but it would have to be close by or just exactly what I wanted at a price I cannot ignore.

Seems to me that Ebay's prices make it a buyers market, and a good place to purchase. Most of what I see on Ebay goes for about 1500 more when it's listed on Autotrader or in the paper. I am in the market for an older Cherokee, and one of my resources is Ebay. If the right one comes along I wouldn't hesitate.

Had some friends just buy a mid-80's land cruiser on Ebay with the specification that it had to pass emissions or the PO would pay to have whatever it needed done. They bought it, shipped it from Jersey (to Denver), and it cost just north of a grand to fix it. The seller never blinked an eye. Payed for everything.

The secret (I imagine) is in the fine print, get that right and it might be the best place in the world to buy a car.
