   I was wondering about the transaction…e.g.
   purchasing a willys that’s on the west coast and mean while I’m on the east ???
   I known I will hire a transport to bring it across country ,
   but what I’m trying to figure out is ,the safest way to transfer the money and attain the title ?
   thankyou so much

   Emily,

   There is no safe way without doing the transaction in person. Doing remote transactions requires a leap of faith in the seller. Based on what I’ve heard from readers, 99% of the time these transactions go well. That’s one reason to buy through eBay, as eBay has a protection program. http://pages.motors.ebay.com/buy/purchase-protection/

   About the best you can do is have a contract written and signed (a fancy bill of sale) that specifies what each party agrees to do as part of the transaction. That gives you some recourse in case the transaction doesn’t work as agreed.

   The question regarding the 50 mph, why is that important? Should I consider that a detractor when buying a jeep? If so, how much value does that take away?

   Joshua,

   I’ve into some folks who don’t realize that some jeeps won’t go 70mph on the freeway. That question was more informational than value oriented.

   Another reason for the question is that some folks might not mention the overdrive until the question of ‘how fast will it go’ comes up in the conversation.

   I hope that helps,

   How can I contact sellers when the Craigslist listing can’t be found and no email was listed on the eWillys listing?
