5 of my last 8 vehicles came from Ebay, including my Boxster. Got them all at bargain prices and had good luck with all except the last one. If you can trust them, there are services that will inspect the car for you and might even be able to take it in for a PPI. They only caution I would advise is if the car is such a bargain, why do they have to revert to Ebay to sell it? This happened on my latest purchase, an '07 Beetle convertible for my daughter. Got it for several thousand, about 20% below blue book. When we received it, I understood why local buyers were turned off. It had and continues to have an overpowering smell of crayons, which I understand is somewhat common, and comes from the adhesive used for some interior pieces. On the plus side, if it's not too far away, flying in and driving it home can be a fun road trip.
