Buying cars on eBay

[geared]

Ebay buyers can be strange too

I sold a quite expensive motorcycle on ebay £9k+

The chap who bought it was north of Glasgow

He sent a deposit of £300 after the auction ended

Said he would be a while before he came for it

Eventually he came in a hired van took him 9 hours to get here

He and a mate looked at it for 5 mins the "Expert mate" declared that the engine was knackered just by listening to it

They then hopped in the van and went home

Nothing said about the deposit

I sold it on to someone who I have kept in touch with who has used it for 5 years and 12,000 miles engines still fine

I once bought a car on Ebay for £810 without even seeing it. It served me well.

Caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.

Ebay is really good if you want a certain model. It has been said that I think about things too much.

I want a VW Passat estate, 2nd choice Vauxhall Zafira, when I have saved enough pennies

The car is as I was expecting, he didnt mention the lack of a radio tho, but he was upfront and honest generally.

It was actually £325, only one key card and a few other issues.
