I would never go buy something with out seeing it and even if I do besides driving it I have no idea what to look for but some of the prices are pretty enticing.


    Anyone ever buy a car off Ebay.
    One thing to watch for if you are looking at suvs or trucks is make sure they are 4x4,alot of the trucks on ebay from texas are priced right but they wont tell you in the description
    that they are only 2 wheel drive,a buddy of mine flew from south dakota to texas to pick up his truck and when he got there found it was only 2 wheel drive.I told him it was his own damm fault for not knowing!

    I noticed a lot of the trucks were dirt cheap that were 2wd. Must be a bitch to drive and it def snows up here so I need 4 wd

    Thanks for the info guys. I am going to continue actively looking on ebay. There is a such a huge price difference between the two areas. I was eveing saying to myself **** it if I get that good of a deal maybe I will just splurge get like a 2007 x5 4.8 and throw it in the garage. Most likely the cheap bastard will come out and I will get a 2004 tahoo with like 50-60k and leave it on the street

    Hear is what makes me nervous.

    I found a car in NY that I liked but would not pay the price. For shits and giggles I searched out reviews of this dealership. So this place has an F rating with the BBB had about 10 googles reviews to stay the hell away from them but they have a ton of positive feeback on ebay. Can you fake feedback on ebay or do you think they only choose to sell top notch cars on ebay vs there lot

    BBB is about the most useless thing ever. I've dealt with them as a customer and as a business manager managing our rating. They are useless and a money making business. You pay for a good rating
    If people can't tell your on steroids then your doing them wrong

    Yea I know the BBB is something you actually have to pay for to become a registered member. It def is a joke but this dealership had way too many complaints to ignore. Maybe I shoudl check out rip off report but i bet thats not much better

    besides paying to be a registered member. They wanted my company to give a large $$ amount bond for an A rating.
