My mom found her 07 G35S on there. It was safe, just make sure you buy from a dealer and not an individual. Pretty much it's almost 99% safe purchasing from a dealer on ebay. We found our car from an individual seller though, we got exchanged information through ebay messages, then got on the phone. My mom asked a bunch of questions, he answered, she negotiated the price on there, they both agreed on a price, we clicked bid, paid the deposit ($500). Than after we got a hold of an inspection company in the state (CO) then we got them over to inspect before shipping, once it was shipped over, we had it once again inspected. Got the Daytime Running Lights on and inspected by a shop to have it approved. After that, we got it licensed and we're now driving it. It seems longer than it is, but main thing is you want to have good communication with the seller and it should all be fine. I would recommend it...if it was 1-2 years ago. If you're buying from the US it's almost not worth it. Forgot to mention we payed a broker to get all of our paperwork done for the border.
