I've bought three vehicles on Ebay since 2002 and have had good luck on each. My shopping guidelines are: (1) to do your research and know what the vehicle is worth, especially in your local market, e.g. I bought a low mileage Jeep in Des Moines for $2,000 less than I could have bought it in the Denver area. (2) Focus on recent vintage vehicles. (3) Buy low mileage vehicles. The Jeep was less than a year old, and had less than 5,000 miles on it. Like amy other used equipment purchase you have to review the offer carefully.
