The USA-based doctor logged onto http://ebay.in/motors and bought a Tata Nano for his family based in Varanasi through eBay Motors from Mumbai dealer JMD Auto India .

This successful purchase story started with wanting to gift a Nano to his family in Varanasi specifically his cousin, Sarfaraz Ahamed. He was specifically looking for an easy way to buy the vehicle and was delighted to find it on auction on eBay Motors listed by Trading Assistant Motors Street . Dr. Minhaj won the auction for the 2010 Nano LX at Rs. 180,000 and completed the transaction.

Mr. Minhaj Naiyer said, “I was looking at gifting my mother & cousin brother the Nano after reading & hearing about it. After looking at various options, I turned to my trusted source eBay. I logged onto eBay India Motors and to my luck found a Nano listing. I have been transacting on eBay for a long time and trusted the brand to purchase the car.
