    to add to your question, has anyone bought a car from ebay from a different country than the one you're shipping it to?

    a couple of months ago i was looking at buying a car from ebay - from the US and shipping to Canada. i wonder what sorts of issues would arise as far as emissions/etc...

      I would be interested in a Shelby Cobra... but I doubt it will get to Germany in one piece... and I could license it here.

        I once bought a car off eBay. Don't do it unless you have seen it in real life. They usually don't take photos from the bottom of the car and you'll end up with a worthless piece of junk ready for the scrapyard.

          I bought my Supra off Ebay and I am very happy with it. Took me over 6 months to find the one I wanted.

            You used the dutch EBAY version? Or did you ship it?

              No I bought cars in England once or twice, using the UK eBay. I didn't ship it, I went over there and drove them back.

              Had one mispurchase.

                Validus - Talk to Todd at Fast Ashleys
                Fast Ashleys

                He actually has a Cobra rep right now with a Supercharged Small Block in it. And he ships cars to Europe often.
                He would be willing to act as an agent for you to help you buy a car on Ebay and ship it to another country.

                        A friend bought a 67 Mustang convert. GT.
                        As you might expect, it had lots of problems.
                        He is not happy, wasted some money.

                          Ebay is great for buying and selling cars, about to list a car this week to clean out my garage. I bought a hummer off there few years ago. I would highly suggest either looking at the car in person, or getting it checked out by a neutral 3rd party. Stick to sells with a ton of positive feedback.

                                  I know one webmaster who bought a nice classic car on eBay - good car, but after he fixed it up and cherried it out, he sold it and made some $$$.

                                  He had nothing but good to say about that transaction...

                                    I have an uncle who has bought 4-5 cars from ebay. They are all older British cars, and they've had plenty of pics, etc. But he goes and drives or trailers them back.

                                    He just bought one in Newfoundland, and plans to get it in the next couple weeks. I don't know what the issues are with bringing it into the country, but I'm sure it's not too much work. But these are mostly shaw cars, not daily drivers...

                                    Just on the topic...
