Hello Bob, Regarding Ebay, I've bought 2 Saabs here in the U.S. The first was a 1995 900se I got from an investment broker in Virginia. It was well maintained and generally a good deal. The second was a 1999 9-5 from a used car dealer in Texas. It had been in a serious accident that did not show on Carfax and was not revealed by the seller. It also needed about $1500 in repairs when I bought it. So, it was not a good deal, although I'm stilll driving it 3 years later and it's running well. Make judgements based on who the seller is. Read the feedback on Ebay from other buyers, but if it's posittive don't trust it exclusively. Be wary, especially of small volume used car dealers. Ask lots of questions, look for detailed, conscientious answers, and if it smells at all fishy, throw it back. You can get great deals, but not everything that looks like a deal is great.
