Has anyone ever bought an H2 online?

Ya, I bought my 2003 H2 and my 99 Indian Chief both on ebay. I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada and to buy these types of vehicles here is hard to find and expensive when you do. Buying off ebay is the way to go for best selection and price. Even with the added cost to transport or pick it up, you normally will save at least 25% over local deals in the paper or classified.

If you will use ebay, make sure the seller has a high ebay rating (I recoemmend 25 or higher, though >100 is prefered). Make sure the seller has a good description and lots of pics, and also email him for clarification and more pics if needed - also make sure to read all the fine print of the sale as sometimes sellers hide details like they will charge handling fees or other bull**** (normally high rated sellers do not do this). Lastly, read the fine print of the sale to see what the seller wants as payment and how fast after the sale. For example, some sellers say they want $500 within 2 days and the balance when you pick it up, while others do not require any up front payment until you pick it up. Obviously, it would be prefered to find one where the seller does not require any payment up front so you can travel to the car, check it out and confirm it is what the seller claimed. Oh ya, when you check it out, if the seller lied about any of the facts or condition of the vehicle, you can tell the seller where to go and you will not be bound by the agreement.

Overall, it is a safe way to go as long as you are willing to travel to the vehicle regardless of the distance. If you just plan to have it shipped, it is more risky but as long as the seller has a very high rating it is still OK.

Thanks
