What does a passport have to do with a car purchase? How is a picture of a passport proof of anything?
Adam has posted some great advice in the past on how to long distance buy and sell. Unique pictures with something obscure on or in the car sent immediately after your request is a good one.
I recently sold a car to a long distance buyer. After we talked on the phone we used Facetime so he could go over the car in real time and ask any question he wanted. Being wholly satisfied, buyer then wired me the money and had the car picked up a few days later.

Yup, hard to fake something like this. Where are you going to find a hua-hua on a moment's notice?
Ramon said he needed me to prove it was my car and in my possession. I said how about me, your name, the date, the car, and my very old Hua-Hua named Sadie!
