Car buying nightmare

I've been *TRYING* to buy another C900 but at some point people stopped being decent.
Saturday- drove 3 hrs to Augusta GA. Got there and I swear it was a different car from the pictures. Trashed. Not to mention over the course of two days it went from "Runs and drives great" to having a clutch so bad it couldn't move out of the driveway.
Sunday- drove 2 hours up to the North/South Carolina border to look at another one. Interior torn out. "Mr. Fixit" installed a door bell button to start it. No wonder the pictures of the interior looked like he had Vaseline on the lens
Today made arrangements with the seller of a car on the site here, over near Birmingham Alabama (2 hours away), for me to take tomorrow off and come buy the car. (Being the only one in my company that does what I do did not make this easy). Got a call on the way home. Sold it to someone else.
(If you're looking for SAAB repair in Birmingham, I can give you the name of a place with apparently little integrity).
This should not be this irritatingly difficult!
