i need to sell my civic inorder to get my s2k and i was wondering if ebay was a good way to sell it.....lookin for opinions from people who have and havent used it thanks!!!!

doubtful. If i'm buying a used car I want to have driven it before I put down any cash. Besides, I'm a devout E-bay-hater. I got ripped off by a seller with a 99.8 % feedback rating. I'm sure there are some decent people on the site, but i'm off it forever. First purchase, too.

I have sold 3 cars on ebay...

1. 1994 Acura Legend, the guy actually flew in from California and drove it home, got a great price for it.

2. 1997 Infiniti J30 - still got a good price, this guy flew in from Idaho and drove it home

3. 1985 BMW 535i - this guy drove in from outside Philly to check it out and I later delivered it to him, sold for just a couple hundred cheaper than expected.

Basically ebay is a great way to sell your car fast if you don't want to do a dealer trade-in where you get a really crappy price. I would say that you won't get as much as selling it pirvately through the local paper, etc. but you do get more than a dealer trade...and you can sell in less than a week. I would certainly sell on ebay again, just make sure your bidder has good feedback so you can trust them to pull through on the deal.

Oh yeah, I have yet to have 1 bad experience, I am sorry to hear that Quick2K, you should give it another try. I have been on since 1999 and still not a problem.

eBay's become one of the most popular places for selling used cars. I personally use eBay all the time; although I've never bought or sold a car through the service, I don't see why people think the level of risk is any different than buying any other out-of-town used car, or selling to any out-of-town buyer. You should still do all the standard checks and take the standard precautions; there's no inherent flaw in the eBay system which makes it vulnerable to scam artists.

I say go for it. I would have no hesitation about buying or selling a car on eBay.

for once I will agee with pedal faster.

I bought a 1974 v8 914 porsche on ebay. the seller was a good guy. I had a local guy (to the seller) check out the car and then sent the $. The car arrived via carrier 1 week later in perfect shape.

I don't think ebay is a particularily great place to sell something to get top $ unless it is something "hot" (like a H2 hummer when they fist came out, etc....).

Usually S2000's that sell on ebay sell for a decent amount less than what others are asking.

I would imagine a Civic (common car - sorry) not doing very well on ebay for you.....
