Re: Buying an E30 on eBay

I just bought a e34 on ebay. I spent lots of time looking and found what I
thought was a good car. I bought from a reputable ebay seller, check the
feedback and make sure they are established in selling. If it is a private
owner, speak with them on the phone with a list of questions, Ask the same
questions if needed to get clear answers. Also, you are about to spend
thousands, spend the 20 bucks on a carfax report. It will give you a clear
idea of the cars history including accidents, recalls, type of ownership,
mileage discrepancies etc.

I live in NH and bought my car in FL. A quick test drive and I was satisfied
with the vehicles stated condition. Drove 1800 miles home and right to my
mechanics. He did a full inspection and found a few things and did some
routine maintanance adding up to about 700 bucks.
I am very happy with the car and the experience.

Best of luck.

My advice for a fellow Anthony is to post this question with a link to
the auction on the ebaymotors forum on ebay. The group on that forum
is good at analyzing pros and cons and things you may not think of.
They will help if asked nicely.

Just be sure and read up on all the scams and ebay policies, put in at
least a good hour of study time.

Finally intelligent bidding is called sniping, check out esnipe.com for
more info.
