Yes, that really sucks.
On the other hand, I bought a BMW motorcycle site unseen and had it shipped half way across the country for $3500. I think you have to go with your gut instinct and do the research. Granted the seller was a missionary pilot going overseas but it is the kind of relationship to build up before buying any car in person or online site unseen.
I always do internet searches on the buyer's name, maybe in your case a Car Fax report. But in the end it was a gamble.
Don't listen to the other "bone heads." Buying a used car in person is never a fail safe way to guarantee the seller isn't a scammer, that the car is what they say it is, that the buyer can check everything that can go wrong, or that the seller truly isn't a nice person with good intentions and that the car has a hidden problem that a mechanic wouldn't always see.
Thanks for the head's up. Most of us try to support each other here.
