I won mine on eBay via a "sniper shot" during the final 3 seconds of the auction. Like others, I too had it shipped via Dependable Auto Shippers (D.A.S.) for around $800. Since it was a long distance on-line purchase, I additionally used www.Escrow.com (to CYA) which allowed me a 3-day inspection period (to have a certified mechanic check it out) once it arrived in my hands to either "accept it" or "reject it" via Escrow.com. I fell immediately in love with my Proton; it doesn't burn a single drop of oil (I lose more oil checking/wiping the dipstick), and the PO had a electric moon-roof professionally installed in it as well (winner winner; chicken dinner).
