C5 Golfer Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I just did. I'm a bit nervous buying a car sight unseen except for pictures and a description, 1500 miles away and having it shipped to Seattle and waiting 10-20 days to see if my money was well spent. I think I will drink a lot while I wait.:D ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 never done it, but the only way I would would be from a seller with exceptional feedback. Even a single negative that pertained to a car sale would send me in another direction. hopefully you checked his feedback thoroughly?

spcarves2 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 my friend bought a car a few months ago off ebay.......arrived from the other coast and was exactly what he wanted! no surprises. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spcarves2 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 FYI-the seller's feedback was 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 yeah, that feedback system is pretty reliable Especially if someone has a fairly long list. One or two or ten can be faked, but get past that and it would be tough I have a 660+ rating with about 5 negatives..maybe 6...all very old and all from disgruntled people who had no legitimate complaint (which is why ya always want to look at the actual feedback, not just the rating) hope it works out C5!

Justin A. Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Never done it, but I have bought a few things that arent cars. Like the others said, check the feedback well, if the seller's was 100%, you should be ok. What kind of car did you get? -Justin ________ Ford straight-6 engine specifications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of car did you get? -Justin It is a rare 5 speed manual 1984 SL Mercedes with a 3.0 dual overhead cam straight six. Not many of these were made specially with a 5 speed - I have a 1980 with a 4 speed and a 2.8 L and have always wanted the 5 speed. I believe hese are some of the best cars ever bult by Mercedes and a blast to drive. The more common V8 models like the 560 , 450, 380 are available only with the a sluggish automatic. Not much fun in a sports car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
