admiral_ju00 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 to buy a car??? I've used it many a time on small stuff, but not something of this caliber. Anyway, this is the auction I'm thinking about: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6161&item=2483310166&rd=1 Right now I have a 1999 Z28, but will sell it in a heartbeat for one of these 30th Anniversary SS models.

Dave Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I would go and have a look at the car before buying anything; although you're covered if you buy it on eBay, and the guy's lied about there being no rust etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Actually you aren't necessarily covered if you buy on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Damn Top Gear, they lied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 They're car enthusiasts, not international law, terms of service and indemnification experts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 True, I suppose. But they still lied Plus the multiple times they've blown up caravans is quite amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you can sue the seller for misrepresentation of goods, but if you're trying to get money back from ebay/paypal itself, then you're only going to get 1/20th or so.

Lance Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 There is also a reserve.... Theres no telling how high it is. I cant stand people who make reserves, I just skip over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Read the fine print, however hard that is. But I hear Ebay is pretty safe, and if you look at the guy's rating you should be able to see if he's a pathological liar or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Most people aren't going to rip you off because they genuinely want to sell something, and there's lots of safeguards to protect you. I've bought quite a lot of things off of there, and they've all turned up in very good condition at a very good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
