I have already said this, unless the car is on the moon, someone has to go and see the car and do the deal in person. Either the buyer drives or gets on a plane or has someone represent them. This case we are talking about is a buyer in Texas and a seller in Florida. That is not an unreasonable travel distance. Of course you can't go and see every car just to kick the tires, but if you have come to the decision that this is the car, spend the extra $500 on a plane ticket. Drive 12 hours or two days if necessary. It may not be a scam, but just a car that is misrepresented. Figure in the travel expenses with the cost of the car.
