6 years ago I bought off of an eBay sale a 1997 Lexus LX450 with 9,789 miles on it for $19,500. Truck sold new for $56,745. I drove the truck 3 years, sold it for $20k after I had put another 30k miles on it. Before I flew into Chicago, I located the dealership that sold the truck, they verified all services done and made the comment that the truck was like new. I took a friend who is a great mechanic to inspect and help me drive it home, After he inspected the truck and we test drove it I handed over the certified cashiers check. I bought thru an estate auto broker in North Chicago. The truck was never out in winter weather, was stored in a heated garage, had an almost new set of tires on it and it appeared to be a new truck. I stopped by the dealership and they gave me a printout of all services performed which based on time rather then mileage was almost unbelievable. One oil change had 338 miles on it but a years time. Tires were replaced because of age not wear. Yes, you can buy off eBay, research it well, inspect it and test drive it. Like any used car/truck, you always take a chance.
