Ok, you're right, that definitely looks shady. So do people just have a friend put in a bid for the minimum they'd take for the car? Gives the appearance of a no reserve auction when it isn't really. Seems like EBay would have a way to figure that s@@t out, but they probably don't care.

I just bought one off Ebay and I just asked the seller prior to sale that if I won, would he be open to me having a PPI done prior to paying and he said yes. Just treat them as any other seller and it's nothing exotic other than the time limit and you'll be fine.

Not even due for it's first oil change for another 1k miles right?

Oil change at least once a year, driven or not.

least offensive gemballa stuff ever. the white is a beaut, for sure. probably sells for 60.

as for the black one with an estimate of up to 80k!? they've been in the FLA sun too long lol

still, a great looking low miles car. though i think i spy a bmc filter in there(?) wonder what all else if anything they've done to a 6500 mile car?

You insinuated that evidence of regular oil changes are not important. Most here would disagree. If I didn't see proof of annual or very close to annual maintenance I would walk from that car.

I wouldn't give that seller the time of day if only because of that piece of **** ad he wrote. Doesn't even mention a single maintenance item.

That fool managed to mistype the mileage for that car on his own website, he entered it with one extra zero so one million miles.

WOW. 2002 6spd with 107k miles for $32k. That's actually pretty cheap. Looks decent shape too.
