How do you go about buying a car on the other side of the country?

I've bought two cars off the internet. First one, I drove five hours and checked it out.
The second one, was across the country. For $220 I hired a inspection company who inspected the car, drove it, and looked at all the special things I asked for. They sent me a detailed report and 140 pics. I thought it was money well spent.
Be very, very, careful!! Shams are all over the internet!!
