I wouldn't recommend eBay. It's hard to back out of a bad buy - if you're not local and can't go see the car, you can't back out later if you bid on it, even if it turns out to be a bad deal.
I bought an Accord with "71k" on it - I'm pretty sure that the mileage was rolled back. The car was in decent shape looking at it and the initial drive, but within 1k miles the new timing belt that was installed (and it did look fairly recent) broke. Not a very fun replacement... but I did it. Something was screwed up with the engine, as the 2nd new timing belt was going to wear through it's new cover, also... so I dropped a JDM engine into it. Add about $1000 in repairs to an already slightly under KBB value, and the car sucked.
