Has anybody or someone you know purchased a car on ebay? If so, can you tell about their experience or yours? What are the pros and cons, and can it be trusted?

Yeah I know a friend who bought a used Lexus IS 300 2001 , he got a very good deal though he didn't check the car at pickup , he ended up paying 7k$ extra to change the whole chassis of the car. quite a loser ha. Just beaware and check the history of the car before you buy it , if you can.

Thanks for the advice. What kind of recourse did he have
for the lexus he purchased?

I purchased a used car on ebay and have been extremely pleased. But I did two things first....thoroughly checked the seller's(dkrwholesale) feedback...and then drove to see the vehicle before I bid. I ended up buying an Acura. The seller was fair and honest to a fault. You might even want to check out his inventory....do a "seller" search on ebay for "dkrwholesale". The individual I dealt with was Nathan Mallory and I wouldn't have any hesitation to buy from them again. Good luck.
