eBay Motors sells three millionth vehicle

eBay Motors recently announced today that its three millionth passenger vehicle has sold in the U.S.

The vehicle is a 2002 Ford F-250 pickup truck purchased by Patricia Weidler of Otego, N.Y., to help her husband, Dan, start his own construction business. The couple bought the pickup from eight-year eBay veteran David Pelis, of Pelis Auto Sales in Northampton, Mass.

In celebration of the purchase, eBay Motors reimbursed the Weidlers, plus provided $3,000 in parts and accessories to help get their construction company started. For more details, visit www.ebaymotors.com/3millionsold.

Dan, a long-time construction worker and volunteer for the New York Steel Union following the 9/11 tragedy, became sick with Lyme disease a year ago and struggled to maintain his three-hour work commute to the city each day. The Weidlers began planning to start a local construction business that would allow Dan to work closer to home with more flexibility. To get started, Dan needed a truck of his own.

“I knew having his own business would help him feel better,” Patricia says. “I found the perfect truck on eBay Motors, bought it for almost half the list price and was thrilled!”

Patricia says her options were limited shopping for a car in their rural town. She went to eBay Motors to search outside the immediate area and feels she saved more than $5,000 by shopping on the site, purchasing the truck for only $8,886
