This is a little late, but better late than never. I just discoverd this site.
In August I purchased a vehicle off of eBay from Global Motorcars of Houston. The process of the purchase and shipping was very smooth but after my experience, I see why they make it extremely easy.
The eBay advertisement stated the vehicle had been in no accidents and this was based strictly on the Car Fax history report available in the listing. My fault was not hiring an independent mechanic to go to the dealership and inspect prior to purchase.
The vehicle arrived at nigh to my door. It was running a bit rough and smelled inside and out like burnt oil. The very next day I took it to a Mercedes dealer where I was informed the extensive work it needed. Not only that, but the mechanic asked if I knew it had been in an accident? I told him I didn't and he pointed out the obvious signs such as paint overspray, the use of aftermarket parts and car panels that were newer than the vehicle itself.
