Found a car here in the classifieds, but the owner had sold it to a shop where he'd had it serviced. Called them. Turns out they were a TSN sponsor. Talked at great length about the car on three different occasions. Emailed a bunch with the PO. This raised my comfort level high enough to negotiate and send a check for the car. The deal was that I could back out if I didn't like it.
It was in NJ so I rented a car to go check it out. It was a 9 on scale of 10, needed only a coupla minor things. Did the deal drove home happy.
Would do it again, with this dealer anyway. A friend has bought 2 cars long distance on eBay with no significant issues.
But YMMV as they say. Ask a lot of questions. Get a lot of pix. And be careful that you can get the title with the car. A friend had trouble with this, but it sorted out.
