This is very true. We tend to forget the $500. that must be spent to go down and pick up a vehicle from Florida.
The additional risk with these e-bay transactions is also a serious consideration.
You could easily blow over $1,000. in parts on little things that the seller did not disclose.
I'm in the process of replacing my combination switch on the SDL. No washer.
Purchased that way. Never disclosed. Cost of switch and gaskets is about $150.00!!
The price is not excessive, it's just not a steal. Of course, the perfect 300D might show up tomorrow in Virginia at a price of $2500. (the floor IMHO). Then again, you could wait another five years to find one.
If you are serious about selling the Honda and the Saturn, then time becomes more important, and, waiting an indefinite time to save $500. (the maximum that you could conceivably save for a similar vehicle) becomes unrealistic.
