Just my two cents, if you do decide to buy on e-bay, do an escrow. At least this way the buyer should be confident about what her or she is selling and if the vehicle arrives not as "claimed" you can re-negotiate the price without hassle. Pictures can be deceiving!

I purchased my S 500 Mercedes from e-bay, not a good experience. Car was not at all as stated. The car was involved in a front end accident, even though carfax checked out clean. Shotty repair work, the Xenon lighting system was "missing" and the list goes on. But who knows, you might have a good experience.
