Its cool... 
I'm not going to go and look at a car at a dealership, see that it is in horribly tatty condition, take it for a test drive, notice the steering wheel is crooked and it won't go in 5th gear, then buy it anyway.
I'm not going to put a deposit down on a car on eBay which is 100+ miles away and has no service history, turn up, see that the owner has no idea how to look after the car, see that it has had the wrong oil in it, look at the fact that it has four mismatched tyres in the wrong size including a winter tyre, hand over the money, then notice the clutch is slipping when I'm 10 miles away, only to try and phone her and be ignored, and go back and find she isn't there.
And I'm not going to buy a CAT D from a random guy 100+ miles away which I've never seen before and then glance at it in the dark, hand over some money, and drive off, only to notice its a pile of **** when I pull over to get petrol half an hour later.
That is how three of my four purchases went...
