Would you buy a horsebox off Ebay?

[NELSON11]

Just wondered really as a friend has and had a really good bargain on a R reg Leyland Daf.

Although I am a little more suspicious.

Any stories, would be great to hear. Good or bad

yep, i have bought a lot of saddles and a few cars from eBay and never been disappointed.

I have, it cost me £1K, was cheap to keep getting through it's tests, very reliable up until I decided to sell it and I had it for about 3 years. Ah and when I sold it I got £860 for it!

Ebay should be no riskier than anywhere else provided you go and look at the vehicle, with a mechanic, before you bid. If the seller won't show you the lorry then you don't bid. Simples.

I would as long as we could go have a damn good look at it and check all the paperwork is in order beforehand.

We got our Landy off ebay if that's any help though his description was "lacking", the price more than offset the rust.

There is nothing wrong with buying it off ebay, but look at it first. I bought one, and drove 3 hours to collect it. It was absolutely not as described and was really "hanging". I got back in the car and went home without it. The photos looked good, but the reality was quite different.

I did 2 hour drive there was a fair bit more cosmetic damage than stated on ebay, offered them far bit less money.
They took it i got an even better bargain

Usually on Ebay,the listing will say viewing welcome as it ,would be a bit silly to buy a vehicle without viewing it first!!!!

We bought both of our horse lorries off ebay, got a good bargain too! As long as you view it before you put a bid on it. We travelled to Leeds (from Lincs) to view the purple monster, loved it, handed over the money and took it home, seller took the listing off ebay, saved her the fees...
