The advice here is absolutely correct (caveat emptor and all that stuff!). I have committed to buying a car before on ebay sight unseen and got a good deal. The things to remember are to check the seller's feedback - is it 100% with GOOD comments, numerically high & has he been trading for at least a year or two? If any one of these doesn't fit, beware. On the other hand, one cannot guarantee that what the seller considers to be a good car correlates with one's own opinion.
When bidding blind, I set myself a limit of how much I will go to before physically viewing the car. If I overbid & commit to buying a vehicle I would not have wished to own had I seen it, then I have only myself to blame for being lazy!
Remember, there is always another "bargain" out there. Don't rush to waste your money on the first vehicle that comes along!
