I find it helps to speak with people. You can gauge a lot there. Ppi at a place of your choice. In the future i would also have a pelican scope out the car and owner first.

This was a blatant rip off scam. I hope you get your money back. That being said, "questionable" ppi's and "forgetful" or "oblivious" sellers can also lead to softer forms of rip-off when cars are bought remotely.
