Used Car Buyers Shop Online But Avoid Ebay, According to Survey

Online, June 27, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Used car buyers who use the free independent used car listing service OneOwnerCars.com say they prefer the service to eBay for many reasons.

The bad economy and the high price of a new car are the leading factors driving consumers to buy a used card rather than new. Those same consumers are shopping online for a used car in greater numbers than ever before, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2010 Used Vehicle Market Report.

An informal survey of used car buyers has shown that many are hesitant to buy a car through eBay and prefer an independent used car listing service such as http://www.OneOwnerCars.com

There are many risks and challenges associated with buying a car through eBay, which are eliminated when using OneOwnerCars.

Cars listed on eBay are often located so far away from potential buyers that they are purchased sight-unseen, which deters many would-be-buyers from considering such a purchase. Some buyers spend a great deal of money on airline tickets, hotels and other expenses only to discover the car they bought did not live up to the description they relied on in the eBay listing.

OneOwnerCars listings are located in the local area of each buyer searching the listings, which means buyers can easily see and test drive the car they are considering without risk or time, travel, and expense.

Like eBay, OneOwnerCars offers used cars. Unlike eBay where used cars can range from junk to like-new vehicles, OneOwnerCars specializes in listing only quality one-owner used cars.

"Our goal is to help consumers find a well maintained, low-mileage vehicle. That's the type of cars we list on our site, and presently we have more than 40,000 of them listed all over the country," explained Robert Younghusband, owner of OneOwnerCars.com.

"If a car has had more than one owner, the risks when buying that car go up, so I recommend against it. It's just a fact that well maintained, low mileage used cars tend to be one-owner cars," he added.

There is no cost for used car buyers to shop on http://www.OneOwnerCars.com, and no need to register for the service. Buyers do not disclose their name or any personal information. Anyone can search the listings by simply entering the zip code of the area where they would like to find a used car. No other information is given.

OneOwnerCars.com specializes in listing only Carfax or Auto Check one-owner
used cars offered by local dealerships throughout the country.
