Hello everybody! Check what I found on Ebay: http://cgi.msn.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2482047908 I was wondering what you guys thought of it because I'm cosidering placing my bid on it too. Any comments/sugestions/advise is welcome and appreciated. Manuel
Well, no matter how good a car looks on Ebay, I would NEVER buy a car sight-unseen. I know people who have done this, and it turned out ok, and I know other people who did this, and it turned out horrible. Other than that, it does look to be a car worth checking out BEFORE you bid on it.
I agree with Matt. However, if you really want the car, you should at least hire a 3rd party to conduct a prepurchase inspection (i.e. auto appraisal group - I am pretty sure they have offices in Florida). It only costs about $350+.
I agree with Matt. What I would suggest is that you NOT bid in the car through auction, but instead contact the buyer outside the auction. YOu want to get a thorough PPI done before you purchase. I am sure that fellow F-Chatters in the Tampa area will know of a good PPI shop. Martin at Cavaillino Motors in Miami is a regular F-Chatter. He may be able to recommend a good shop fir the PPI.
save your money dude. don't rush out and buy a car just because. trust me you do n't want to be a slave to a car payment or any payment. Be smart, be patient.
