Here is my simple recommendation to avoid being scammed.

Your initial message to the seller should be: "I am local and would like to come see the car."

If there is no location, or they give you the run around that the car is somewhere else and they are only brokering it, all you have to say: "No problem, I will fly out to go see it."

That's when scammers goes MIA, and you don't loose any money.
