I have done this a number of times as well. Agreed on private ownership being a better scenario as I can put on my detective hat and research their name, place of employment, google maps etc.. video of car starting and running is vital. Depending on the dollar value of the car will dictate the need to see it in person. I’d rather spend the money on a flight, hotel than get bamboozled. I have purchased 50 year old cars as well as new cars via this method and happy to report I have been treated fairly.
