The seller mentions that there is no rips or tears on the interior, But forgets to mention there is a tear in the damn roof....WTF

Make sure you give her a thorough wash and detail as soon as you can. Congrats. I don't think I'd ever take a chance on ebay.
i got the best deal you have ever heard of on mine on ebay. 05 premo fully loaded for 19,000 with 5,000 miles just got home with her yesterday thats 6,000 under blue book when i get off work i will post a thread with pictures
That sounds like a good deal....but maybe not the best I ever heard of. Where did you get the blue book value of $25K from? Not to burst your bubble, but the highest book value I can find is in the 23K range....for every single option. In the mid atlantic the asking prices are in that range. If I am going to take an eBay risk, it would need to be for a huuuuge savings.

It's hit or miss; you may have done quite well with your $19K deal....or even this fellas $20K deal (oe maybe not if he is using oil) but me personally...I'm probably too **** retentiveto buy a car sight unseen.

Its an '05 gt vert, 27000 miles.

A few things I noticed, theres some hood shimmy, left headlight has moisture (it rained last night), I have no manual for it. Theres a small hole in the drop top, about 2 or 3 mm. The bar that holds the hood up has no holder. Damn thing is super low on oil too, gonna get it changed 1st thing this morning. I asked dealer if fluid levels were ok, he said yes. I guess I shoulda checked em myself.
I have been looking for a good deal for about a year. Pulled the trigger on ebay.

Runs like a champ though.

Should I go synthetic oil change?

Ill post some pics in a bit.

Thanks in advance.

That's because you're missing the cover that goes over the radiator which the hood prop bar secures to.

thanks very much for posting the manual. I needed the drop top instructions that are in it.
