General Motors Planning To Sell Vehicles on E bay: Would You Buy One From Ebay?

I just read an article in the news about GM being in negotiations with E bay to sell their vehicles there. Many dealers already have cars listed with E bay but this will be a first for General Motors. It seems to me that they will be in direct competition with their dealers..

Read article. McDonald said GM is trying to get a deal done to start testing the ...

What do yáll think about this? Do you think they will be successful?

Would you buy a new car off of E bay?

There are plenty of legitimate and good sellers on there, but as most people have probably experienced there are plenty of bad ones too.. Not that GM is a bad seller, but it doesn't really seem like a proper venue for them.; ▶ Reply to This

But I guess anything that cuts out the dealers is good for GM, eh?

Long ago there was a saying, what is good for GM, is good for America. bwahahahahahhahahhahahhahaaaa

I remember that saying Your Honor. Those were the good old days.; ▶ Reply to This

This one guy was looking for a certain car and found it on Ebay. The person who sold it, paid for the shipping.

Of course, Ebay will probably give GM a deal on the cost of putting up their ads along with a few other perks.; ▶ Reply to This
