    This is actually becoming quite popular. Many people are now buying cars off of ebay or from Online Auto Auctions. You can actually get really good deals. You can search live auto auctions in your area, than bid and go see. On www.buyingrepocars.com, you can download a free 5 day auto auction guide. It walks you through all the do's and don'ts of shopping cars online and at auctions

    I have never bought a car online but would do so only if the car is brand new and the offer is coming from company authorized agent.
    As regards second hand cars, there is so much to be inspected and verified, I would not be comfortable with just visual inspection and hence would avoid the deal online! :eek:

    I've sold cars online, and had one good experience and one negative one. I really think you need to see the car before you buy it. People's idea of fair, good, and excellent condition vary greatly.

    No I haven't but I would if I could inspect the car before purchasing it. Also I believe eBay offers a service where they have someone qualified inspect the vehicle for you.

    I bought a car via ebay, and it's served me well since 2003. The seller was in my vicinity, so I had a mechanic friend of mine take a look at it. However, I'd definitely not recommend just buying a car without having a chance to look at it. I'd be WAAAY too scared.

    You can ask the shipping rates from the person with whom you are purchasing. I think that buying cars from online is a good option as a person can see the various cars he wants to buy and even he will get to know the best deals offered by different people.

    It is good idea to see features of specific car online but you should go to showroom personally to buy it
