I am sure this will have been mentioned before but I wanted an engine cover for my TD4 Freelander 2 and looked on e-Bay. I found 2 around £50. This did not sound cheap. I always try to find out how much things cost before buying on e-Bay
A quick call to the local dealer and to my surprise I was told £28+vat so I ordered one. I did worry that I had asked for the correct part but a day later picked it up and perfect.
So it pays to call the dealer before jumping in.
Cheers,

Thats so true. Ive seen touch up pens for sale but a longer delay than normal on sending them. Ive checked the price at the dealers only to find them much cheaper.
It dont take much to work out whats going on.

It's very true. Lost count of the amount of times I've looked at something and checked Amazon or somewhere similar and they're cheaper. Why do people pay more via bidding?

Just don't get it. HSE, td4 - Stornoway Grey - full alpaca interior - 2011 front facelift - privacy glass.

Yes and how many times has one just bought something to be told the next day by someone they had a new one kicking about it their garage you could have had for nothing! No one ever says that the day before though i

Folk get carried away with it all, it excites them to bid, Ive heard someone buying a free give away plastic Tesco bag on E Bay for 50p, whats that all about then???

eBay is a place to pick up bargains, only if you know the true value of the item before hand

Why buy something on eBay with limited warranty, when you could buy it from a shop with warranty for the same price, or as said above cheaper Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

10 mins after they put a sign on it

"For Sale £60"
