Buying a Car off eBay

Is it ever worth it? Scam stories?

I am considering buying a car off eBay right now, pic related. Been emailing this lady that says she's in the military and deploying soon, getting rid of the car because she doesn't want/need it anymore. She's sent me more pics and the car is in pristine condition in them, though they might be old pics or something.

She says it's all stock, 76k miles, 5spd, with the original tool kits and maintenance records that would come with the car should i choose to get it shipped over here (which will cost me nothing, because she's paying for shipping as per our agreement). if i got it out here i would have 5 days to drive it and see if i like it before being able to return it for a full refund through eBay. I've read through all the terms and shit sounds pretty nice, any opinions are welcome.

Buy a miata instead

The del sol is completely inferior to any miata

can't find any miata's in my area that are as cheap as this honda or as in good condition

How much is the Del Sol?

Also where do you live? I can help you look.

1500, pic related

i live in az

That's pretty cheap, but I wouldn't buy for any other reason than to flip to some soccer mom who wants a "fun" "sports" car.

I'm looking for a cheap miata in Arizona, but I likely won't find anything for that cheap. Just save your money and buy a $3k NA/NB miata in a few months.

How much you imagine i could flip it for?

Maybe 3k if you are lucky, but you are already in luck.

It has a fucked differential, but it can be fixed relatively easily/cheaply.

Never mind actually, that Miata is a true shitbox. I didn't look at all of the pictures.

just going with my gut, that seems too good to be true. its very clean and shes paying for shipping? she could sell it on her local Cl in less than a week, why bother with ebay (and ebay fees)?
