Do people really buy cars like that on E-bay?
Yes, they do.
It's a hugh gamble, but sometimes you can get a good deal.
In mid 2012 I saw an ad for a 2009 SSG Viper SRT-10 w/Areo package. 1 of 3 w/silver pearl stripe.
842 miles
No bids. Buy now was $89,995
I made a slap-dick low offer. Finally got it for $76,000.
Guy heard they were not going to make vipers and bought and stored for "investment to impress his wife".
When they announced future vipers were going to be produced she made him sell.
He sent the window sticker that had $106,995.
Car arrived via enclosed transport in perfect shape.
This price alowed me to do engine and interior mods I would not have normally been able to afford.
But that's just me.
