buying/paying for an out of state car purchase

Tough one without actually going in person. When I bought long distance I also had my inspected. Got 70 photos and a drive report for I think $250. Can't remember the name.

I couldn't pull the trigger without going in person so I flew up to see it. I made contact with a transport broker ahead of time, then called back when I decided to buy it. They had a guy there the next day to pick it up.

Bank branches don't keep a lot of cash on hand so I ordered the cash ahead of time.

Met the seller at the bank. Once I saw the title, we went to the window and got the cash,then completed transaction. I told the transport driver I'd give him an extra $50 if he took special care of my car.

Worked out great for both of us!
