buying a car remotely

Hi all,

I'm in the market to purchase another A body. I have never purchased a car remotely. How are you guys handling these transactions? What is a safe way to ensure you don't get ripped off, I don't want to just send money and hope the seller is honest. what othgrr things do you do to make sure the care is what the seller says it is? Any information anyone could provide would be helpful.

Thanks
