Hey Poorman. I'm glad you're looking around. I bought my car on e-bay, and would not do it again. In fact if I ever run into the old owner I'm going to put my foot in his ass.
Having said that, there are some good deals. Look out for the "But it now" for real cheap. These are scams. If you do find a car that you want, post it on a web board like this for someone in the area to check it out for you. DO NOT BUY SIGHT UNSEEN! I paid 20k for my car and it was worth 10. If you find a car in the bay area, I will look at it for you before you go and bid on a car that might not be what it seems. E-bay can be good, it can be bad, and it just depends on how well you look around. And by asking all these questions, it seems as if you are one of the smarter guys looking to find something good for your money, and doing everything you can like research, which is what I wish I had done. So you're already off on the right foot. Before you bid, find someone in the area who can do a check on the car for you. That's the best advice that I can give about e-bay.
