You pretty much have to look at the car unless you know the seller.
Everyone's description of a "good" car differs and many non car people don't
know if
there are impending problems.
Here is another example. In April I looked over Moms Dodge, changed the oil
and added a pint of water to the rad. 250 miles and 3 months later the motor
popped a head gasket. If I was selling the car in April and the head gasket
later popped, would I be liable?
Answer No, I had worked and owned my own auto repair garage for many years
and unless I did a leak down on the motor every few months I would not have
found the impending problem. Now, if a auto mechanic didn't catch a impending
problem, how will a non car person?
Next, allow $ 1,200 to ship the car with a top carrier. The low rent
carriers are generally unreliable, cause body damage and won't pay for that
damage.
I've got a 10 year old judgment against one that is still unpaid.
