ebay car sales question.....

['STANGETR]

My husband and I are looking for a '68-73 Camaro or Firebird to purchase. We have a price range in mind, and we are not looking for something of show car quality. I have been cruisin' ebay lately, and I have come across some unbelieveable cars going for unbelieveable prices. I saw a '69 Camaro w/ a DZ 302 in very good condition that they are asking Buy it Now for $6000. Another '69 that they claim is rare and super condition, they are asking $8000 Buy it Now. These cars should be going for waaaay more, in my opinion, is there any "catches" going on or should I have concerns about these kind of "deals"? My husband said he'd jump right on a plane to get the one for $6K, but I think it is just to good to be true. What's goin' on? Sorry for the lengthy post!

ebays motto - too good to be true, its fake. i rather go through car forums to find cars like that

I am leery of buying a car on ebay, some would disagree but there can be risks and hassles with it.

I found my car online using auto trader (www.trader.com canada). It is like ebay but isn't a auction so you have to phone the seller and buy the car the old fashion way but you can search specific cities. There are other sites that do the same thing.

It may be a good way to go and you will find more people willing to sell their cars on there because it's basicly an online news paper add (no one is forced to sell in a week). It may be more but you can always try to get them down to a lower $$ value.

If you find a car on eBay you think is a great buy, post it up here. We're all more than happy to take a look at it. With all the knowledge here, the people on this site can usually pick it apart if something doesn't seem right.
