Would you REALLY buy a car off e-bay. No test drive. No seeing it for yourself. Only taking the sellers word for what it is and all.

If you vote yes, please explain why.

 

For a "normal" car, no fucking way.

If it was like a super exotic or collectible with a well-known seller (i.e. some kind of dealer or auction house) then I wouldn't be so opposed.

 

But how woudl you know that that is REALLY what your buying?


I just can't see buying a car sight unseen.

I can post pics of some car and say its mine. Get your money and *POOF* be gone.

 

i have not done it personally. yet my very good friend has bought several off of ebay. for each car, he talked to the seller on the phone and had them take it to a dealership for basically an used car check out. then he would talk to the tech who performed the check out, and would make his decision based on what the seller and tech have said.

 

i sold my civic on ebay

but i used it as mostly advertising for locals. never buy a car you cant touch.

 

For example.

I would be more trusting of an auction like these:

i got my accord off ebay. smooth transaction.. i even paid less than the "buy it now" price was. h:
