*~Buying Used Vehicles On Ebay~*

Ok, So I am a self-confessed ex-vehicle trader and to this day I still get amazed at some of the poop I see in the used-vehicle section here on a daily basis.Just a few pointers about buying second hand vehicles on eBay from the perspective of someone who has seen many fools come and go:Where possible avoid buying cars on the other side of the country. Its more than devastating when you do a 200 mile trip to find out your new pride and joy is not actually worth being proud and joyful about.View your sellers rating. Even good ratings that are accumulated solely from buying, doesn't necessarily make your seller an honest and trustworthy guy. Aim for sellers with good feedback that has been accumulated from a lot of selling, probe around the auction links on his feedback page, if you can find a few cars the fella has sold that have resulted in positive feedback, thats a bonus!Remember that when your buying a used motor vehicle on eBay, that it is on an auction, BE CAREFUL, most car traders refuse to buy from ACTUAL auction because plenty of the cars are there for the "Sold As Seen/No Comeback" clause. Buying from a seller in Scotland when your in Devon is only asking for trouble. You could go pick up your nice new car, get all the way home and something serious happens, you call up your seller whose grinning from ear to ear when he knows your not going to drive 300 miles to "see" if he's at home.Realise that warranty's offered on some vehicles have more holes and get out clauses than you could ever imagine, ask to see a copy of the warranty BEFORE bidding. When you buy your car in Timbucktoo, and the clutch dies, you call him up and he quotes his warranty; "Arrange for the car to be returned to me and I'll arrange the repair". Paying
