How to buy a classic long distance

I bought two from a distance. One I was able to drive 300 miles and look and drive it. I bought it and the seller for gas money hauled it to me.
The other was 1500 miles away. I used Lemon Squad ($225) to inspect the car. Before they went out, they asked if I had anything I wanted checked. They coordinated with the owner, inspected the car including a test drive. They sent me a detailed report and 140 pics. I wired the money through my bank and had the owner overnight the title. I then had it hauled to my house.
