I keep seeing people on this site complaining about buying, or the risk of buying a car unseen, or from pictures, or from a written description on BaT.
There are numerous inspection companies all around the country with certified inspectors. They do a good job to the first order. With that you get a written report based on a physical inspection, a driving inspection, service records inspection, and pictures. Its been a couple of years since I used one. I was looking for a 69 corvette convertible. I had 4 or 5 of them inspected before I found one that I flew cross country to do a final inspect and purchase. These inspectors are plenty good enough to do a first order inspection. They will take pictures of anything you ask for, and do a pretty good job describing the car. It cost about $250 for each inspection. Well worth it in the end. I was able to eliminate lots of cars that looked great in pictures, but the physical inspection is what helped sort good from bad. If your going to spend north of $30K for a car it's cheap insurance.
