I've bought 3 cars off e- bay, and like any other car I got what I payed for.

The first was a coupe I restored for my daughter, the seller was honest and the car was as described.

The bottom line is, the car should be a lot cheaper than what you can buy locally, so if there is any surprises you can repair it and still have a reasonably cheap car.

I scrutinise the sellers record on e-bay, long time sellers with no previous bad deals are what I watch for.

Mercedes or BMW (modern) which do you think is best ?

Depends on the circumstances. Usually it's a bad idea, as you can't test the car, the Seller may want cash down payment, and may not give it back if you discover problems with the car. I've bought one car indirectly thru Ebay, and sold one , again indirectly, thru Ebay. Both times, not ON Ebay, but because of Ebay listing that didn't work out, but the cars got sold or bought because of new contacts thru that ad that weren't on Ebay. Both times, I was able to negotiate and see the (collector) car to buy, or I gave the buyer a chance to see the car first, neither of which is possible on Ebay. If you're buying a collector car, and get it cheap, then it may not be a bad thing, but if you can't get someone to look at the car for you before the auction closes , it's like Russian roulette with a gun to your head. I've heard horror stories, and good ones, but personally, unless you are looking for a project car and get it cheap, I'd pass on trying to buy a "good" car on Ebay.

Which is best suv in india..travera or endeavour or safari or scorpio?

I bought one on eBay and it wasn't a bad deal. The seller, (a NJ used car dealer) lied about the transmission, but I already knew to expect it from them and also the fact that Fords have tranny problems. A lot of eBay purchases have a warranty that covers up to a certain amount of the purchase. JUST REMEMBER- BUYER BEWARE unless you have a specific written warranty.

Hello FIRST CAR ?


If you buy a car on eBay, you may or may not end up with a lemon. You are better off to buy a vehicle within your area that you can follow the proper process with. If you still aren't sure, watch people court. There are cases like this on there all the time.

Is there a certain amount of time you have to return and new car?

I think car buying on ebay is high risk. You don't drive the car, you don't listen to the motor, you don't get to shift gears, go high and low speeds, make sure the body is aligned. So many things you don't get to do, how can you be sure it is going to be a good runner, by looking at a picture? I would never purchase a car online, period.
