I purchased my Viggen using Saabnet classifieds. Car was about 600 kms from where I was. It was a very good experience. The previous owner was a real enthusiast and really babied the car. I am guessing that is one of the possible advantages to the Saabnet classifieds, since the majority of those who use this site are enthusiasts.
Similar to what you have described, the seller in my case was very open, disclosed everything, and when I drove out to see the car (yes, I set aside a day to drive out there to check things out), he was very well organized and prepared, with all the car's maintenance records out and ready for my review, as well as allowing me a lengthy test drive / tour of the area!
Probably the best thing for you to do is to set aside the time to "visit" the car. It will answer alot of those questions that really can't be sufficiently described using words. BUT, be prepared to walk if things don't look right... even if it is 1500miles away.
I left a $1k deposit as well, after I saw the car, and was convinced and satisfied with the offer.
Also ask lots of questions and be scrutinous...
Good Luck!
