Default Give me your advice please!

There's a 01 ws6 with 73k miles on ebay right now, highest bid being 8g. Lots of pics on there and everything seems to be okay. What do you think the car's worth if I decide to bid? Here's the link. Thanks!

Wow that looks great and to give you an idea for my 2000 Base T/A with 62000 miles I ended up paying $9500 before all that dealer bullshit. After all that it ended up a tad over $10500. That looks like a great deal but you have to keep in mind where you live. Here in S. Florida it took 6 months to find my car no one sells T/As down here apparently. But anyway looks good to me and I'd say go for it. Although it is ebay and you never know so use caution. It would have been good to go see it in person first which is what i did with mine before I placed a bid but obviously it is too late now

I think it's a decent price if it stays in under the 10k ball park. I am uneasy about buying cars off ebay without seeing it in person first. Other opinions please! This bidding ends in like 2 hours

I have no idea, it just says reserve not yet met.

Bleh, bidding ended around 8,6xx and that's a pretty darn good deal. Hopefully I won't be so hesitant next time. Guys who have bought cars off e-bay, what should I look out for?

Looked good, but honestly I would NEVER buy a car without seeing it. It you know what you are doing you can take pics to hind **** thats wrong with the car or make it hard to see. and you never know how it drives either

For all you know it smoked like a freight train and rattled like a tin can with a pebble in it.

You're probably, but that's one of the best deals I've seen. Guess there was probably something wrong with it then haha.

well the reserve wasnt met.. so the car didnt sell.. ebay has pretty good policies to protect both the buyers, and sellers now-a-days, so it would be pretty hard for you to get screwed over in the deal..

On ebay, the price skyrockets in the last 30 minutes.
Even so, the guy might have a set reserve.

It sounds like your new to ebay... would you be interested in some lawnmower headers?
