EBay users looking to purchase vehicles should be aware that the details for a particular make and model of vehicle can be very misleading or simply wrong.As an example there is currently an advertisement for a 1997 XJ Jeep Cherokee Sports. This model was available with a 2.4 litre 4 cylinder engine or a 4.0 litre in-line 6 cylinder engine. The current advertisement on eBay gives the engine details as a V6 rather than an in-line 6.I have witnessed similar problems in the past so this is not an isolated incident.I did ask the seller to verifiy that he was selling an XJ 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sports with a V6 engine in case, given its age, the original engine had been replaced and also, if not, to prevent him from possibly being accused of giving false information.Leaving aside his extremely abusive response to me, according to him, EBay dictates what is inserted into these details. It appears that he was unconcerned with the false description and gave no indication that he had informed eBay, nor had he made any mention of the issue in the description of the vehicle. Given his abuse, that doesn't surprise me. However, those seeking to purchase vehicles would be well advised to ensure that what is listed is what they will receive,If you wish to check the details to which I refer, see: 1997 XJ Jeep Cherokee Sport #115809064687
