So far, it's been evenly mixed between good and bad.

I got my Cobra from Ebay. I actually drove 8 hours to Manhattan, KS with Danny, swaped vehicles and drove a 30year old car home with nothing but some hand tools and a jack, just in case. I've probably purchased 6-8 cars site unseen (other than pics) and haven't had any real bad experiences.

Ive done it a bunch of times, never turned out that bad, the one in particular that came to mind was this POS geo prizm that didn't run(rod sticking out the block) i got for $50. My intention was to go get it, drop it off at the scrap yard on the way home, sort of a favor to help the people get rid of it. Just out of curiosity i called to see what our supplier had on the shelf, got the motor/trans with 30k miles for $850, dropped it in and sold the car for $2500, ended up clearing 1400 bones on it.

Back in August, I flew up to Denver and drove back in my '95 GT. My sister flies with SW Airlines, so I got a pass and flew up on a Sunday morning. He and his wife met me at the airport with the car. I drove it around some, crawled under/around it, decided it was worth the trip, and drove it home 850 miles (12 hours) without incident (except that Trooper south of Amarillo at 10:00 that night! LOL!).
I hadn't done that in years, and truth be known, I kind of enjoyed it.
No regrets here.
