Well, I always wanted a Corvette, So I purchased an 84 Corvette that seemed like a good deal, but needed a lot more attention than what was described. I purchased the car because I was told in te auction description that the only problem was that the radio didnt work. When I brought the car home after purchasing plane fare, driving expenses, time lost from work that the car had a lot more problems than described. The motor had a serious water leak. If I looked at the selling photos carefully, there was a puddle under the car.( $600.00 to repair) The brakes were bad. ($240.00 to repair) The alternator went out a week after I bought it. ( 190.00 to repair) The rear window defroster was broken. ($90.00 to repair) The registration required 6 trips to the DMV. The car still needs another $600.00 of more work done!!!
Don't give feedback till you drive it for a couple of days.
I was forced into giving positive feedback before I left the sellers property, or he wouldn sell me the car. It was entrapment. ( No wonder the seller had a good feedback rating!!! )
The car looked very well kept, but don't judge a car by it's looks like I did.
I was told that the car was in immaculate condition. The car appeared to look like it was well kept. It ran well, but found out that it had huge mechanical issues after 3 days. Overall, it's a fine looking ride, but any car looks good when a cheap paint job covers up all cosmetic flaws.
I have spent $12,000.00 on a car, then the repairs that is actually worth $6,000.00, at best that still has issues.
Be very careful when purchasing a car on Ebay.
I will never buy another car off Ebay, nor take a car sellers word for anything!
So, be very careful about what you are buying. Car history reports doesnt cover shade tree mechanics either. So, dont judge car history reports for the upkeep on a car. It helps, but dont justify what condition the car is in, or what has been done to the car.
I am not saying not to buy a car on Ebay, but look at it, drive it & don't give immediate feedback. I hope this helps on your next purchase of the 2nd most expensive asset that you own! (A house is # 1.)
Good luck!!!
