I've been a member of the club since November of last year, unfortunately I am not yet an owner, nor have I been a very active club member..yet.
I know the subject of buying a DeLorean via. U.S. Ebay has been discussed before and there is no real way of checking out such a car unless physically done by somebody independently, or flying out to view yourself. However, there currently is a car listed which purports to be the first DeLorean in Canada - item no: 2488135857
I am interested in this car and have contacted the vendor who has email me further photographs and has said the car's description is true of the Ebay listing. He also says he would be prepared to hold the car for 30 days with only a $1000.00 deposit with the balance due once shipping is sorted. The vendor seems honest, but as we know not everybody is...
What worries me is the potential of fraud on Ebay which appears to be growing whereupon Ebay identities are cloned and pictures of previously and honestly listed cars have been lifted and used for the con.
Can I ask fellow club member to have a look at the Ebay listing and have a think back if they've previously seen the same car listed albeit in a different location. I am tempted to take the risk, but obviously I don't want to get stung once full payment is sent and flying out to Saskatchewan within the 30 days to complete the transaction is also unrealistic for me at this time.
Also has anybody else imported their car from Canada, is it the same as repatriating from the States? And can anybody explaine to me what is a "bonded" vendor?
Any assistance or advice would be surly appreciated.
Fraternally yours
