My advice is NEVER buy a car on ebay. I have and regretted it. If you must, go and look at it first if it's local but don't bid or buy it now without looking at it and taking it for a decent test run. Better still get an AA inspection. If the slightest thing seems odd/dodgy then walk away.

All depends how it's worded - my Disco was described as "mint" and it also said it drove "mint" as well. I made it clear to the seller as long as it was EXACTLY as described then I would give him the money.

Not with a barge pole! I wouldn't buy any car from any guy called Shane let alone a car that's on the register.

Check out the last things he sold. He has about 5 cars at least that sold for under a grand!!

Business must be doing very well to be able to sell something like that.

Also the pictures on his last ebay items were much better than that camera phone!

I wouldn't buy anything from ebay without seeing it. (People I know have been conned)
