I've bought 3 cars through eBay.

All located in Florida and picked up in person.

However - I did not go and see them in person prior to purchase.

However - all 3 turned out to be KILLER deals!

In fact....the 356 had a working electric sunroof - something not even mentioned in the ad. Additionally.......at the time of the auction - again not mentioned in the ad - the engine was up in Pennsylvania being rebuilt!

The Buy It Now price for this car was too good to be true. But turns out - it was good.....

The day I picked her up - it had just had the engine re-installed by the shop the seller used to remove and ship it to PA for the rebuild.





Nothing wrong with eBay, CL, or FBMP.....all 3 have their purposes - IF used correctly!
