Today’s answer of the day answers the question from yesterday, “would you buy your next offroader on eBay?”
The smart answers were no, but with caveats. Buying a trail only rig would be okay. Seeing it in person and giving it a full look would make it okay. Catching a sweet deal also makes it doable.
I agree with everyone and I’ll confess again, I bought my XJ on eBay and have been very pleased with it. But I think my experience is the exception, not the rule.
