EBay - Anyone W/Experience Selling Cars?

My dad is in the process of selling his '02 M5 (2,500 miles) and we were looking at various online methods. Would anyone on here care to share experiences with using Ebay to sell a vechile?

Thanks,

I've heard allot of people backout of deals on ebay cause they get all giddy about bidding.

I listed my car on AutoTrader.com and have gotten a decent amount of calls but nothing like I would have gotten in the local paper version I bet.

I think e-bay is great for selling cars...

You will get a number of lowball offers, but it is one of the best ways to advertise a car. I have sold a 2000 Honda F4 motorcycle for above what I had as a reserve, and I sold my '93 MR2 Turbo for my reserve price when the person asked to buy the car for that price if I stop the auction. I did stop it, took $200 non-refundable deposit, and completed the transaction. I sold the car for twice the blue book...
