I wouldn't personally buy a car online. I like to have a good look around the car - interior, exterior & under the bonnet. I like to listen to the engine, give it a good test drive watching rev count, oil temperature guage, feel what kind of kick there is when accelerating, give it a good test drive listening for any issues that can be heard e.g wheel bearings, exhaust.

Even buying brand new I still would like to have a look and get the feel of the car. But then I'm not an online shopper for anything really. Old fashioned I guess.
