Thread: Buying a truck on EBAY

    Buying a truck on EBAY

    Anyone ever buy a vehicle on ebay? I found a truck for sale in Texas that is nearly what i've been looking for the past few months. Truck is for sale by a private owner, he has a good rating and the vehicle history is clean. Is there anything I should watch out for buying a vehicle online or out of state? Will there be any special fees for out of state transfers?
    Thanks

    I bought one in Mass. Didn't send the guy a dime until we went to pick it up. We had him notarize the title, picked the car up and left all in about 45 mins. My boss bought a Corvette on ebay. Didn't seeit in person and had it shipped, turned out well, but seems risky to me.

    I bought a crown Vic in new York, I went up made sure it was the condition they said it was transferred and paid them no hassles at all.

    I've sold a couple on ebay. I bought one once, then the guy couldn't find the title so he sent me my money back...no problems really.

    I bought my Cavalier on eBay. Sent a down payment to ensure I was interested, but didn't pay until the flatbed got to the car (driver took the check down). I bought it in Cincinnati.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
