Anything you won’t buy online?
I saw a commercial for Carvana and it was talking about well they are doing. I would never buy a new car online and just have it delivered. It got me thinking what other items wouldn’t be good for online purchases. Without including store shopping and comparing then buying online for something simple like a game or something, what are some things you wouldn’t buy online?

I think I'd rather buy a car online than have to deal with a dealership, frankly. So generally...no. Can't think of much I wouldn't purchase online.

Even clothing isn't bad, fwiw. You just have to make sure you get free returns. It's not uncommon for my wife to buy like $250 worth of stuff on Amazon and return all but $50 of it after she's tried it on. |

Same. I hate negotiating, and with a car, there's no escaping the feeling of being raped... from the feeling of having to negotiate the sticker price, to the add-ons, to all the fees.

Even without sitting in one and test driving it? I can understand a used car for sure because options might be more limited in your area but a new car with that amount of money spent I definitely need to try it out. |

Meh, nothing new. I just sold a 12 Explorer to a family in Indianapolis. They have never seen, not drove it. I took extra care to send detailed pics of all blemishes, so they wouldn't be surprised. THEY arranged a car hauler.

Cars are basically commodities that you can spec out however you want and you know exactly what you're getting. Plus they have very long warranties compared to anything else you can buy, I wouldn't be concerned about that.

I was also recently looking at shoes online and just couldn’t commit. I know returns are generally easy and everything but without trying it on I just didn’t feel good about purchasing any. It was a good thing because once I finally found the pair in a store they were really uncomfortable for me. If it was a similar pair or something I’m used to I’d probably be fine with it though.

Clothes and groceries are the only things I won't buy online. I've never had an issue with shoes fitting but every time I've ever tried to buy shirts or pants they never fit right.
