On ebay, you are just buying somebody elses problem and you can't be sure what the problems are. Unless you are a very good gambler, known entities are better than unknown, if you have to walk the difference between what is assumed and what occurs. I once ought a nice looking Audi from a private individual; looked fine, motor, tranny, body were all as one would expect. I ended up walking 5 miles to a phone, taking it home because the electrics were Lucas look-alikes (actually, some grounds just needed cleaning and everything worked again. (until the wiring harnes caught fire and toasted the front of the car... but that was later...))
