Still I would recommend to fly over and see it for yourself, that way you will not be disappointed.

Anyway, If you chose to go ahead with it despite various recommendations that you should be there yourself, then remember you can do direct deposit into the owner's bank account by going to the same bank near you as he has. You could even put in the money just as the mechanic is at the seller's place. (subject to it being during business hours where your bank is). This way the money will be in sellers account instantly once you have deposited them at the bank branch.

Have you done a VIN report already? Remember there are thousands of cars which have been repairable write-offs. These days they are better inspected, and hopefully more professionally repaired, but should be significantly cheaper than a never repaired car.

Also have seller described to you the plate number? If it for example is 1GNX### then you know it has just been licenced.

Cheers,
