[QUOTE="gyates, post: 1015479, member: 69134"] I, too, believe a long distance purchase is more dependent on the seller. An example I can give is a purchase my Uncle made for his son. A few years back he found an Explorer Sport in Memphis,TN. We live near Nashville. It was an Ebay listing. He won the bid and he and I drove down to get it. Transaction was good. On way home he started noticing a chiming sound in a certain pattern, but no warning lights. Took it to his local mechanic and it turns out someone had removed the check engine bulb. The problem was the clock spring. He called the dealership and they paid his mechanic directly. Truck had 80k miles and was a perfect vehicle all the way up to a fire @160k. The fire totaled the truck but his son ended up getting about 60% of what they paid for it as a settlement. The seller had almost 100% positive feedback on EBay and he would agree with that assessment. So, look for any BBB types of reviews on the seller is my suggestion. [/QUOTE]
