I had watched and bid on this car in the first auction. Talked with the seller, but did not end up with it. It did not meet reserve. The seller then put it on a 3 day buy it now, or make an offer style auction. I made an offer, he refused it. With less than 2 hours left in the auction, I went ahead and bought the car. In speaking with the seller before the auction ended, he told me the car would not stay running, and did not run well when it did run. It took about 2 days before I could take my trailer and make the trip to pick it up. When I got there, the car was as described, and probably a little better. I started looking the car over as to why it run so poor, and in fact was not running. It took about 1 minute to work on it and get it running, and running well. I was really a happy buyer now. The car has turned out to be an amazing survivor car. The history of the car that the seller told me makes it a very unique car also. While buyers should always beware of what you are told, I have found that items I have bought on eBay are generally sold by truthful sellers, and I do not just speak of automobiles. One thing though, if the buyer does not ask any or enough questions, and assumes too many unknowns will be to there liking, then the buyer will most likely be dissapointed. The sellers job is to sell the item, but the buyer also has the duty to request all the information they need to make an informed decision. The car I bought is easily worth $3000 more than I paid. eBay is a great place to buy cars, but you have to know what you are buying. Ask the questions before buying. I would never buy a car I could not at least speak to the seller about. If you feel uncomfortable about the car, don't buy it. I can tell you this, I am extremely pleased with this purchase, and am with most everything I buy on eBay.
