Your home Sunday night (8 hrs driving a day). If the car does not meet your approval fly home that day. If you don't like the car your out the cost of the ticket and the hotel room.
Bank transfers only protect you if your selling. They do nothing to protect you from the car being a POS.
As mentioned ask someone here to do a PPI first for you here. If you like what they say buy them dinner Friday night when you fly in to pick up the car.
Good luck

Can't disagree with a single word.
Many of us, myself included, have eyeballed cars for others as well as had others eyeball for us.
FWIW, flying out and driving back is probably only a bit over break even vs having it shipped.
